Basic Media Station|PT Workflows
Avid Media Station|PT software is designed ex-
clusively for audio-related post-production work
using Pro Tools with or without Avid Mojo SDI,
Avid Mojo, or AVoption|V10 (referred to here as
Avid video peripherals).
This chapter describes workflows for all
Media Station|PT configurations, which let you:
• Start a new project and adjust any necessary
settings.
• Capture NTSC, PAL, or DV-based HD video di-
rectly from tape.
• Open and re-digitize an existing sequence
from an Avid editing system (such as Media
Composer Adrenaline).
• Digitize audio and video from an EDL by cre-
ating an Avid sequence with Avid EDL Man-
ager™.
• Import QuickTime and other non-OMFI me-
dia files.
• Assemble clips into a sequence.
• Export an AAF sequence for import to
Pro Tools, including:
• Export templates
• Manual export, including effects rendering
and transcoding
• Video mixdown
• Import an audio and video AAF sequence into
Pro Tools.
• Export an audio AAF sequence from Pro Tools
back to Media Station|PT.
• Synchronize imported audio with a clip or se-
quence.
• Lay back audio and video to tape.
• Export audio and video sequences as Quick-
Time or other format digital files.
Workflows that apply specifically to using
Media Station|PT in video satellite mode
are described in Chapter 4,
“Media Station|PT Video Satellite Work-
flows.”
Media Station|PT and Pro Tools cannot run
simultaneously on the same computer. If
both applications are installed on the same
computer, quit Pro Tools before launching
Media Station|PT, and quit
Media Station|PT before launching
Pro Tools.
Media Station|PT provides the same digitiz-
ing and batch digitizing capabilities as all
Avid video editing systems.
