3.2 QuickTime

The QuickTime file format was developed for better integration for Apple Macintosh users. QuickTime files are designed to be used on Adobe Premiere, iMovie and Apple Final Cut Pro on the Macintosh. They can also be used with the Matrox RTMac versions of both Premiere and Final Cut Pro. When the QuickTime file format is used, FireStore creates a .mov file. This single file includes an audio, a video and a timecode track. On the computer's desktop, the file will look like this...

3.3 Avid DV OMF

The Avid DV OMF file format was developed for use with Avid Xpress DV version 3.0 or latter on Windows 2000, Windows XP or Mac 0S10. The Avid DV OMF file format creates three files simultaneously; an OMF video file and two separate AIF audio files. On the computer’s desktop, the files will look like this...

NOTE: The following pictures in this section show a WindowsXP interface. Pictures will look slightly different on a Mac OS10 interface.

On FireStore, the video file (OMF) and the audio files (AIF) appear as one track. If you delete an Avid DV OMF file, FireStore will delete the audio and video portions at the same time.

In order to use the FireStore recorded Avid DV OMF files on your Avid Xpress DV system from the external FireWire drive, you must do the following…

1.Locate the external FireWire drive on your computer. (If you have trouble, you can locate the name of the external drive by selecting My Computer on a Windows system. On a Mac, the FireWire drive should appear on the desktop).

2.Open the FireWire drive when you have found it and create a new folder named "OMFI MediaFiles". To do this on Windows, select File -> New -> Folder from the pull down menu. On Mac, select File -> New Folder. It is important that "OMFI MediaFiles" is typed correctly in order for Avid to see the disk drive. Drag all the OMF and AIF files into the new folder (do not drag in the files titled Desktop DB or Desktop DF).
