Avid Video Engine and Midi IO driver
I am installing Pro tools 8 LE on my macbook pro. I am at a screen of installation options. The 2 automatically checked were:
"pro tools LE 8.0.3" "digidesign coreaudio driver" The 2 unchecked are: "Avid Video Engine" "Midi IO Driver" As I'm sure you can tell, I am a complete beginner to this software. I want to start off on the right foot and don't want to miss installing anything I would potentially use. I was concerned about the video engine because I don't want it to affect any of the final cut and after effects editing i do on this comp for my job. I am concerned about the Midi io driver because it mentions in the setup guide something about it affecting my interface. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Re: Avid Video Engine and Midi IO driver
If you don't have an AVoption or Mojo, you don't need the video engine.
If you don't have a Digidesign Midi I/O, you don't need the Midi I/O driver.

Re: Avid Video Engine and Midi IO driver
Ah, you still may have overestimated the extent of my knowledge on this matter. Because I still am not sure if I have those things. If they are something I would have independently before installing pro tools then the answer would be "no." I wasn't sure, however, if these were items I would be installing with this pro tools disk. Sorry if that makes absolutely no sense.

Re: Avid Video Engine and Midi IO driver
All of those items are hardware. If you had them you would know. The AVoption has been discontinued for years while the MIDI I/O has been discontinued more recently. The Mojo is the only one of those still currently available.
I guarantee that you can safely ignore installing the Avid Video Engine and the Midi I/O driver.

Re: Avid Video Engine and Midi IO driver
I agree with Jimmy. Those things you really don't need.
Here's a pic of the AVOption http://www.performanceaudio.com/imag...cts/64/917.jpg The Mojo SDI http://www.smap.it/files/audioprojec.../955_34694.JPG And the MIDI I/O http://www.immersivestudios.com/images/gear/midio.jpg If you don't have those items, leave the checkbox uncheck. You can always install them at a later time if you need to.
