changing from protools 8 audio only to protools 8 with video support
hi all!
protools 8 HD, osx 10.5.8, mac pro purchaced around 2008. when i installed protools on my current system, i was doing music only (no video/post production), so when i installed prottols i installed the non-video version. but, i am now doing scoring for a short film, and wish i'd installed the post/video version. i'm thinking fixing this could be as simple as reinstalling the most recent update would allow me to choose the "video post production" installation option. is this likely to cause me many headaches if i do it? will it keep all of my plugins? is this actually how i'd go about doing it? i've googled as many wats of asking this question as i could think of, plus dug around on this site and a few other forums, but with no luck so far. tl;dr: i want to reinstall protools 8, but this time with the video post-production featues. how is this done? |

Search eBay for the DV Toolkit.

For non HD Protools, version 8 and earlier had to use the separately purchased DV Toolkit to get timecode and the other features.
Since PT9, these features are now standard in Protools, so you might be better off just upgrading to PT11, assuming your computer is compatible. |

DV toolkit (thanks for the proper name for it!) was an option when i first installed pt, but i chose not to the first time around, because i wasn't doing any film work at all at the time. but now i am! i know i know, i just like to run a lean machine. also, for the record, protools 11 is not compatible with 10.5. i can't even install pt 8.1.1, osx 10.5 is stuck at 8.0.5. ummm, so, since i have HD and should be able to get this for free... how do i do that? sorry if i'm being stupid but i just googled the heck out of dv toolkit, protools 8, dug through the avid pt8 download page(s) etc but didn't find anything useful... |

No, the video option when you first installed was for the Mojo video hardware to have it's driver installed.
DVTK was in the optional install folder and you still need an iLok license for it And your HD license get you nothing.
