Products such as the Pinnacle AVI file format were created for use with products such as Pinnacle Liquid Edition. The Pinnacle AVI file format creates three files simultaneously during a recording; an AVI video file and two separate WAV audio files labeled as left and right. An additional “Edition.ale” file per recording session is also created which contains timecode data. This file must be kept with the media. This is shown in the following illustration.

Once clips have been imported into Liquid Edition, an Index file is created on the disk drive per clip. Do not delete this file since it is required to continue work in the particular project. The illustration below shows this.

Organize Clip

This selection places all files that were identified as a KEEPER or were SCENE MARKED during recording into a folder marked KEEPER or the prenamed SCENE MARKING folders on the disk drive. These folders can be imported directly into most DV NLE bins.

When you make this selection, the following screen appears:

Organize OMF

When files are recorded in the AVID OMF file format, this command automatically takes all the OMF and AIF audio files at the end of a recording session and places them into a folder on the disk drive named “OMFI MediaFiles”. When the disk is connected to a computer, this folder is recognized by Avid’s Media Tool feature enabling direct import of files into the Avid timeline.

NOTE: If you have selected files as a KEEPER or they have been SCENE MARKED, you cannot use this feature and keep files in their selected folders. If you would like to use clips in KEEPER or SCENE MARKED folders in Avid, manually create the “OMFI MediaFiles” folder when your disk drive is on your computer and drag the desired clips into this folder.

When you make this selection, the following screen appears:
