Integrated Machine Control Option for Pro Tools
Available for Mac and Windows-based systems, Machine Control enables easy integration and control of external audio/video
equipment within the Pro Tools workstation environment. Machine Control lets you be more productive by allowing you to control
external devices using quick, intuitive key commands directly from your computer keyboard. Features that you would expect to find
in hardware-based systems, such as FF, REW, jog/shuttle, and so on, are easily accessible via the Pro Tools graphical interface.
POSTCONFORM
EDL Import/Autoconform Software
PostConform is an EDL (Edit Decision List) import
/autoconform software for Pro Tools systems that
enables automatic capture and spotting of audio
elements to picture. With PostConform, the time-
consuming process of loading and conforming field
audio and other audio elements can be
accomplished automatically, greatly
increasing productivity. PostConform
automates the process of assembling an
EDL into a Pro Tools session file, first by
importing and sorting the EDL. Then, the user can select all or only certain source elements for loading and can specify additional record
handles for future editing flexibility. At this point, the autoconform process begins. PostConform prompts the user to load successive source
reels into a remotely controlled deck. Using Digidesign’s optional Machine Control, PostConform automatically locates and records the
sound elements selected by the user and assembles these elements into their proper position in the program — as specified by the EDL. If the
picture editor makes changes to the program, PostConform can re-conform the loaded sound elements to a new EDL.
