    the Output Module Settings Dialog box.
    3. Choose QuickTime Movie (Mac OS) or AVI (Windows) from
    the Format pop-up menu.
    4. Choose RGB from the Channels pop-up menu and Millions of
    Colors from the Depth pop-up menu. Leave other settings
    unchanged.
    5. Click Format Options and select the Avid codec from the list of compressors,
    then adjust quality as necessary, choosing the
    appropriate level of compression (e.g., AVR 77 NTSC). Click
    OK to close the Compression Settings dialog box.
    6. Click OK to close the Output Module Settings dialog box.
    7. In the Render Queue, choose Custom from the Render Settings
    pop-up menu.

    To to save and specify a location for the file, then click OK.
    10.Choose Composition > Add Output Module from the main

    below the queued project.
    11. Choose Custom from the Output Module pop-up menu to
    open the Output Module Settings Dialog box. Choose Alpha from
    the Channels pop-up menu. Set format to QuickTime (Mac OS)
    or Video for Windows (Windows) and the codec to Avid. Leave
    other settings unchanged.

    Output To to display the Save Movie As dialog box, type in a

    To import rendered movies into the Avid:

    1. Import the RGB only and Alpha only movies into Avid.
    2. Apply the Matte Key effect (for instructions, refer to your Aviduser guides).
    The Alpha only movie will be used as the Foreground matte.
    3. Select Reverse in the Matte Key effect to translate the
    transparency information correctly of the Alpha only layer.
    4. Adjust matte contrast as necessary.
