Hey Bob,
Thanks for your help. You cleared everything up for me. I had no idea that Nitris DX was the same as Adrenaline and it’s the actual hardware box that works with MC.

Now I can breath easy.

Thanks again man. Guys like you are what makes creative cow forums so useful.

What a blessing!

Thanks Bob. That helps. Actually thanks to all you guys. So I’ll stay away from DS unless I have no choice.

So correct me if I’m wrong. But you are saying that the AVID Nitrus DX system is actually like Media Composer except it has more bells and whistles for finishing and Graphics?

It’s confusing because unless you’ve used those products, it’s easy to get DS and Nitris DX mixed up.

But, if I know MC then I should be able to run the Nitris DX? the Nitris is like symphony on steroids?

Look forward to your response.

Thanks Jeff,
I tried it. The file must be protected or something because it only gives me the audio. It won’t show me the video when I import it into the program. It merely converted the audio into a DV file.

Any thoughts?

Thanks. Good idea. I’m definitely going to try that. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks. By the way, is there an upgrade to Encore 2.0 yet?

Thanks.
I just need to know how to get them all exactly even to fit perfectly with the 4:3 screen. I just figured there might have been a preset or something that I could apply.

Thanks Michael,
You rock! I was worried because one of my drives seems like it’s starting to fail so that’s why I needed to drag the media files to another drive.

Thanks for all your help!

Wow,
You guys are awesome. Thanks Paris, thanks Mike. So what you are saying is… if I want to keep my media seperate, then I need to create the virtual drive.

And if I want to simply move the media from one drive to another, then I can just drag it into an already established OMFI folder and Avid will read it?

I automatically assumed that if I took media from one folder (OMFI files) and put them on another drive with the SAME FOLDER NAME (OMFI files), that the media wouldn’t relink.

does this make sense.

Thanks Mike, I will try that. So was I wrong to try to double click an OMF FILE?

This all occured because I tried to copy some media from one drive to another. When the media showed “media offline” in Avid, I decided to see why and I started clicking around in the files.

How come Avid wouldn’t RELINK? I selected the proper drive.

Maybe because I renamed the OMFI folder when I moved it?

I meant that i wanted a tool that would allow me to type a clip name and it would search for and/or find the clip. There was a tool like that on another NLE system that I used. I was looking for something comparable on Avid.

any thoughts?
