  • How can I use my Modjo with After Effects ?

    Hi everyone !

    I recently get a broadcast PVM monitor and I would like to output my After Effetcs video on my PVM thanks to my Modjo. I went in Edit / Preferences / Video preview and I activated it but it doesn’t work. Should I have some kind of special program to instal first ? I heard of the EMP module ? Does it rings a bell ?

    Thank you !

    Nic

    You don’t say what version of Avid you’re using, but I know that with Media Composer 2.2.x and Xpress 2.2.x there is a seperate install on the Avid Install CD–it’s called Avid EMP. Install it, then go to After Effects and under preferences you’ll see EMP. This will allow you to use your Mojo as a router to your client monitor. We have it running on both of our systems here.

    One caveat–I wouldn’t suggest running After Effects, using EMP, with Avid open. They might fight over resources and you could end up with a nasty mess. I did it here and Avid quit playing video back–it would play on the client monitor, but not the source/record monitor on the computer. Had to restart to get it back to where it needed to be.

    Mike.

    very funny.
    I have to start AE with MC running, or it won’t work….
    (i can quit MC after that, but still…)
