Recording or Importing the Movie Track
You can capture a video file by actually re-
cording the video in through the inputs on
your ABVB connector cable (AVoption) or
the inputs on your Meridien I/O Box
(AVoption XL), or import a file created in a
compatible Avid video editing and compo-
sition program.
The Movie Track
The Movie Track holds the movie you cap-
ture or import into Pro Tools. A Pro Tools
session with AVoption or AVoption XL can
contain one Movie Track.
To create a new Movie Track:
■ Choose Movie > New Movie Track.
The new, empty track appears in the Edit
window.
To name the Movie Track:
1 Double-click the Track Name button to
open the Name and Comments dialog.
2 Type a name and click OK. You can also
add comments here.
