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.
