The following are just a few suggestions for how Incite Media Assistant can be useful to you and
your post-production studio.

Managing "linked" Media files - Incite Media Assistant lets you manage linked media files
as one unit. Linked files are video and audio tracks captured together and bound by the same
timecode file.

Rough Cut Editor - Use Incite Media Assistant to create basic sequences of your original
media using only the codec. Once created, you can export the sequence as an IML to an Incite
editing station for additional layers of video, title inclusion, and real-time effects. As Incite Media
Assistant and Incite access the same media file and the same timecode, no recapturing is
necessary.

MJPEG and DTV - Convert DV/MPEG2 formats to MJPEG and MJPEG lossless
(and Vice-versa) using Incite Media Assistant's AVI Converter. In addition you can mix
these formats on an Incite Media Assistant storyboard, useful for making AVI/QuickTime
movies.

Make Movie - Incite Media Assistant's Make AVI Movie and Make QT Movie let you
convert into practically any file format, frame size, frame rate, etc. For Incite user's,
video/audio layers can be exported as IML files to Incite Media Assistant for making movies.

Archiving - Incite Media Assistant's 3 batch conversion utilities (AVI, QuickTime &
RealMedia) lets you compact and store all of your video material more effectively. As Incite
Media Assistant accesses the codec for all of its applications, conversion can be done on
standard PC over a network, quickly and efficiently. Conversion is performed in the background.

User-friendly Library - Archiving means you can store your media on CD-ROM. This
means you can review your archive using any standard PC and Incite Media Assistant's Catalog
window. As the Timecode Information file (In, Out, tape name, etc.) can also be archived with
the media file, you can easily recapture the clips you need.

Post-production from a Laptop - With Incite Media Assistant on a portable computer
you can plug into any network system wherever you are around the world and get to work. You
can convert media files and take them on the road, editing storyboards, creating RTF files,
e-mailing IML files, etc.

Laying Down the Storyline or Involving your Client - One of the features of Incite
Media Assistant is that you can generate Rich Text Format files for any given media file you are
previewing. These RTF files can contain timecode information, general comments or even pieces
of a speaker's monologue. As the interface is easy to use, clients can browse and organize their
material.
