Connection Avid and Protools

[SpyAJ15]

Hi, (I don't know to much about Audio Post Production) I was wondering exactly how I would take my edited footage from Avid (Nitris or Adrenaline) and pull it into Protools to make into surround sound and all that. Couldn't I just edit on the Avid then use a ethernet connection from the Avid computer to the Protools computer and open the video in Protools that way. Really I have no idea how to do this but I really need to mix with protools for movie theater and DVD release. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Andrew

If you want to mix surround in PT you will need to go TDM Mix + (++) (PT 5.1) or higher.
You can import via OMF and QT (off-line) or on-line with more expensive options.
Check the Digi products page > HD > Video options.

Good luck.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Also the other question I have is what do I need to mix audio for Film (DTS, Dolby, SDDS, and Analog.). Do I need an encoder from each of these companies or can I buy something that encodes. Also, I'm looking for a Westrex Printer to print Sound Negatives if any one knows where one can be found I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Andrew
