After Effects and Avid EMP
If you edit on Avid and also have After Effects you need to make sure you install the Avid External Monitor Preview (EMP) plug-in for After Effects. This allows you to view your After Effects project on an NTSC monitor. This is a huge benefit when you are creating your After Effects project because you can see exactly what it is going to look like when it is broadcast or played on a television. The one thing you need to be aware of when installing the EMP is that you need to uninstall Avid first then install the EMP or else it will not work. Once you have installed the EMP you then can reinstall Avid. To turn on your external monitor you need to open After Effects and navigate to Edit>preferences and then you will see the Avid plug-in at the bottom of the preferences. Open this up and click on the IEE-1394 preview. Now you can preview all of your After Effects projects on you NTSC monitor.
