For example:
• Counters, meters, scrolling, and other ani-
mated user interface elements are visually
smooth in operation.
• Faders and panners move smoothly when au-
tomated.
• Mouse control of faders and panners is imme-
diate and responsive. This includes TDM plu-
gins. RTAS and AudioSuite plug-ins, because
of their host-based implementation, might
provide less-than-smooth operation under
certain circumstances.
• Scrubbing and auditioning (in the Regions
List and Import Audio dialog) is immediate
when you press the mouse button.
• Editing during playback is smooth. Mouse
control of editing tools is immediate and re-
sponsive.
Opening Files
Pro Tools periodically opens and closes files (for
example, to buffer them for playback). When us-
ing MediaNetwork storage, the file open process
is somewhat slower than with local storage. This
is most noticeable when first opening an exist-
ing session. It can also result in sluggish
Pro Tools performance with very large sessions.
Sharing Files
Sharing Session Files
To avoid machine conflicts among multiple us-
ers and avoid general performance problems, no
two Pro Tools clients should open the same ses-
sion at the same time. Only one Pro Tools client
should have a particular session open at any
given time.
Sharing Video Files
Pro Tools clients with Avid video peripherals
(such as Avid Mojo, Avid Mojo SDI, and AVop-
tion|V10) can share JFIF and MXF video files
with other MediaNetwork clients. Pro Tools can-
not destructively modify video files.
Sharing Audio Files
Pro Tools clients can share audio files in an allo-
cation group with other MediaNetwork clients.
When working with shared audio files, it is rec-
ommended that you use the Duplicate com-
mand to make a copies before applying any de-
structive edits.
