1.1 Pinnacle AVI

Once you have finished a Pinnacle recording
session, do the following:

1. From the FireStore SETUP MENU, select
ORGANIZE PINN.

2. You will be asked "ORGANIZE PINNACLE
CLIPS? Select YES.

3. It is now possible to remove the disk drive
from FireStore to begin editing.

The Pinnacle AVI file format was 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. See below:

When used with Pinnacle applications such as
those listed above, it is possible to use the clips
directly in the Pinnacle timeline without first
having to convert the clips or extract audio from
the AVI file. In order to import clips into the
Pinnacle application, use the Pinnacle import
media files function.

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

NOTE: For products such as Pinnacle DV500,
DV500 Plus and ProONE, use the AVI TYPE 2
file format. For Pinnacle CineWave, use the
QUICKTIME file format.
