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).
