Digidesign is now shipping Pro Tools version 5.1.3 software. Providing enhanced functionality and compatibility, Pro Tools version 5.1.3 streamlines the workflow between Digidesign and Avid workstations. The combination of DigiTranslator 2.0 and Pro Tools version 5.1.3 provides key features to the post-production community. Users can now import and export OMF media or sequence files without ever leaving the Pro Tools application. With integrated edit rate, sample rate and bit-depth conversion, DigiTranslator 2.0 enables Pro Tools 5.1.3 to export/import both 24-bit and 16-bit WAV, AIFF, and Sound Designer II OMF files. Avid clip-based and keyframe volume data is now translated into Pro Tools breakpoint automation playlists. DigiTranslator also creates sample-accurate exports of Pro Tools audio and session files for Avid and other OMF 2.0-capable systems. And users can now play back an embedded OMF sequence without wasting time waiting to extract the individual media files. Optimizing the creative flow from Avid to Pro Tools workstations – and back – DigiTranslator 2.0 also allows Pro Tools 5.1.3 to work directly with Avid Unity MediaManager. MediaManager is a browser-based file management system that works with Avid Unity MediaNet shared storage systems. With Pro Tools 5.1.3, Pro Tools audio files can now be checked into the MediaManager database directly from Pro Tools. Files and regions are listed by their original names within MediaManager's projects and bins layout, familiar to any Avid user. This integration allows MediaManager to effortlessly locate all files used in a sequence. Pro Tools and Avid-generated files can be dragged directly from the MediaManager browser window onto the Pro Tools timeline for seamless import of OMF audio, video and sequence files. Pro Tools version 5.1.3 and MediaManager make sharing sessions over a MediaNet shared storage system virtually effortless. Finally, with AVoption|XL and FilmFrame (see special offer below), Pro Tools 5.1.3 allows for playback and editing of 24P video files created on Avid 24P systems such as Film Composer, Film Composer XL and Avid Symphony. The 24P standard provides maximum flexibility and quality for both editing and creating film or video masters; and now Pro Tools 5.1.3 closes the post-production loop by eliminating the need for complicated, risky and time-consuming conversions to other formats when working with audio.Additional features:
Pro Tools 5.1.3* will be included with all new AVoption, AVoption|XL, Pro Tools|24, Pro Tools|24 MIX, MIXplus and MIX3systems.
