Avid Cinema version 1.1.5 Web Update Readme
This Readme explains who should use the Avid Cinema 1.1.5 Update, what changes are included in this update, and how to install it over the Web.
Who should use the Avid Cinema 1.1.5 Update?
The Avid Cinema 1.1.5 Update is for all Avid Cinema users. If you are running:
Avid Cinema 1.1.4 - You should upgrade to version 1.1.5, because you can now resave movies in electronic file format (such as Internet/WWW) without renaming them.
Avid Cinema 1.1.3 - You should upgrade to version 1.1.5 so that you can resave movies in electronic file format (such as Internet/WWW) without renaming them, or upgrade to MacOS 8.0TM.
Avid Cinema 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2 - You should upgrade to MacOS 7.6.1 or 8.0 and Avid Cinema 1.1.5 to take advantage of the revisions in recent versions of the product.
Avid Cinema 1.0 and you plan to use the Avid Cinema 1.1.5 Update, you need to download Avid Cinema 1.1 from the Web and install it first.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 5500/6500 USERS: Before installing the Avid Cinema 1.1.5 Update on a Power Macintosh 5500 or 6500, you need to have installed Avid Cinema from the CD included in the Avid Cinema 1.1.3 standalone kit. Installing Avid Cinema from version 1.1.1 of the standalone kit will not install the files necessary for the 5500 or 6500 to run Avid Cinema. The 1.1.5 Update will only work on Power Macintosh 5500 or 6500 machines if you have previously done a FULL install of 1.1.3, or if Avid Cinema was preinstalled by Apple on these machines.
Revisions to Avid Cinema 1.1.5
Avid Cinema 1.1.5 supports MacOS 7.6.1 and 8.0.
You can now resave a movie in electronic file format (eg Internet/WWW) without renaming it.
In the Bring Video In Tab, a stop sign no longer appears in place of the camcorder icon.
For users of Avid Cinema 1.1 and 1.1.1, version 1.1.5 also corrects the following problems:
- Previously, when sending movies out to tape, the volume on the tape
may have recorded lower than expected. This required you to have to
turn up the volume on your television in order to hear your videotape.
The volume will now be higher when you send your movie out to tape.
- Non-local number formats now display correct characters in the
Disk Space Remaining area in the Bring Video In Tab.
