Verifying the Installation

Perform the following steps to verify that the Avid software can locate
the installed WFMNLE software plug-in:

1. Start your Avid NLE application software.

2. If you can locate Tektronix in the left pane of the Avid Effects
 Palette, then the installation process is complete.

3. If you cannot not locate Tektronix in the left pane of the Avid Effects
 Palette, shut down the Avid application software, and then perform
 step 4 for Windows OS systems or perform step 5 for MAC OS systems.

4. For Windows OS systems only:

 a. Find the Avx.dll file in the directory where you installed the
 Avid application software.

 b. Select Product Version from the Item Name list in the Version tab
 of the Properties dialog box for the Avx.dll file. Note if the
 Avid product version is 1.0 or 1.5.

 c. In the directory location where you installed the WFMNLE
 application, there is a Win_AVX1.0 directory and a Win_AVX1.5
 directory. Open the directory matching the Avid version number
 you noted above.

 d. Copy the WfmPlugin.avx file to the AVX_Plug-ins directory where
 your Avid NLE application is installed.

 e. Repeat this verification procedure starting at step 1.

 the wfm.bundle file to the AVX-Plug-ins directory where your
 Avid NLE application is installed.

Starting the WFMNLE Software

 NOTE. This procedure assumes you have already installed the
 WFMNLE software on your Avid NLE system.

Perform the following steps to start the WFMNLE software:

1. Start your Avid NLE application software.

2. Open a video timeline from an existing project or create a new timeline.
3. If your Avid timeline is a new project, or you have not previously
 applied the WFMNLE software to your timeline, perform the procedure
 described below. Otherwise, proceed to the step 4.

 a. Apply any desired effects to the Avid video timeline.

 b. Create a new global video track in the Avid Timeline window.

 c. Activate the new video track by clicking on the right side of the
 associated Record Track button.

 d. Insert an Add Edit marker at the head of the timeline for the new
 video track.

 e. Select Tektronix in the left pane of the Avid Effects Palette, and
 then drag-and-drop the WFMNLE icon from the right pane of the Effects
 Palette onto the new video track you created.

4. The WFMNLE icon appears in the top global video track on your timeline
 when you apply the WFMNLE software to the video track.

 NOTE. When you save the project settings for a timeline that has
 the WFMNLE software applied, the next time you open the project,
 the WFMNLE software will already be applied to the timeline.

5. Start the WFMNLE software either by using the Avid Effects Editor or
 by double-clicking on the WFMNLE icon on your computer desktop.

 NOTE. During the free 60-day trial period, click the Finished button
 in the WFMNLE authorization window to enable the application. This
 window does not appear in licensed WFMNLE software.

6. The WFMNLE application window appears on the Avid desktop. You may
 need to click on the video timeline to have the video signal appear
 in the WFMNLE window.

7. Position the WFMNLE application window to a convenient location on
 your Avid desktop.

 NOTE. The Avid software must be the active window (on top)
 before editing commands are accepted. Try to position the WFMNLE
 window to an unused location on your Avid desktop. If your Avid
 system has only one monitor, try to position the WFMNLE window
 to a location where you can still see the WFMNLE window when you
 click in the Avid Composer or Timeline windows. The Avid windows
 may appear to not update properly if the WFMNLE window is the
 active window and it covers part of the Avid NLE windows.
