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.

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.
