Avid Xpress

In most Avid setups, all you need to do is open the Digitize Tool (pictured above) and set a few parameters to digitize footage into your project. The Avid is built to digitize media at full resolution, the only setting that needs to be set outside of the digitizing window is setting the video input signal in the Video Input Tool.

Workflow

Select the tracks you wish to digitize.
Select the Bin you wish to digitize into.
Select the AVR setting for your project. Green screen footage requires AVR77.
Select the drives you wish to digitize onto. At AVR77 you should split the audio and video onto seperate volumes.
Select your clips IN and OUT point.
Hit the Record button, or log the clip to a bin for later batch digitization.
It will be necessary to export your media files as QuickTime movies for importation into After Effects, or use the Ultimatte plug-in within the Avid itself.
