This plugin was created to allow you to easily link the clips you recorded using the camcorder to your Avid non-linear editing system. The plugin uses Avid Media Access (AMA) architecture to link the clips in the camcorder or on a CF card directly into a bin in Avid Media Composer or NewsCutter(*1). Refer also to the instruction manuals of the Avid Media Composer or NewsCutter used.
This plugin is compatible with Media Composer, version 4.0.5 or later(*2) and NewsCutter, version 8.0.5 or later(*2).
*1: Windows only
*2: As of May 2010, clips that were recorded using the 50 Mbps (4:2:2), 1280x720, 24P video configuration are not supported. Also, clips recorded using the 25 Mbps (4:2:0), 1440x1080, 30P video configuration will be treated as 60i clips. To edit a video project as a 30p project, please use clips recorded using the 50 Mbps (4:2:2), 30P or 35 Mbps (4:2:2), 30P video configurations.
