Mojo SDI and After Effects

[Michael Hancock]

In your Avid installer for 3.1.1, choose to install Individual Products and see if there’s an option for Avid EMP (it may be called After Effects EMP, I can’t remember). If there is, install it. Under your AE Preferences you’ll see a new option under output to use your Mojo.

This used to work in Pre-3.x days, but I haven’t checked to see if it works now. I’ll have a look tomorrow–I have an analogue Mojo at work, but it should function the same for the MojoSDI.

I installed the After Effects EMP from the Avid install disk. I went to the preferences settings and under the video preview setting in After Effects, I changed the output device to IEEE 1394 (OHCI Compliant) but nothing happened. I didn’t see an option that said to use the Mojo SDI. I even checked the previews and interactions check boxes under the output during setting and still nothing happened.

I found with my version of Avid MC3.0 that some of the EMP files went to the wrong location when installing under AE CS4. If you look in you AE plugins folder there is an AVID folder. Inside that folder there should ONLY be the EMP.aex file. When I installed mine there were a few .dll files that got installed there. Those .dll files should be moved to your “Support Files” root folder. Then when you load up After Effects choose “Edit->Preferences->Avid External Monitor Settings. and chose if you are pal or NTSC.

That should do it!.
