Basic Plugin
Operations and
Configuration
This section discusses settings common across plugin windows and how they interact.
Activation Mode
A Io Express plugin can be set for Automatic or Manual activation using the Activation Mode
pull-down menu. Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for normal operation.
In this mode, you merely click between the open plugins to make one active.
Note: Only one plugin window can have control of the Io Express at a time. If the window you
click on does not access the card (reporting Board: Active), either another window is still
processing operations or it is set in Manual activation mode and must be disabled (check
box blanked).
In Manual mode, you must check the Enable XENA box to activate Io Express control and un-
check it to release control. Upon startup of the After Effects CS5 application, if the launched
plugin window is in Manual mode, the window will NOT activate until the enable box is
clicked again.
The Preview plugin does not need activation since it grabs only one frame (the current
working frame) at a time for output to the monitor. It grabs the data on a priority basis when it
can or else it is turned off.
After Effects CS5 and Preview Note
Double clicking on a captured Project File in the project bin will sometimes open the file in an
After Effects CS5
player which can be previewed. Some formats will result in the file opening
in a third-party viewer (QuickTime for example)—but the file cannot be previewed in that
viewer.

Using the AJA
Capture Plugin
To begin using Io Express in After Effects CS5, go to the Capture window ( Window->AJA
Capture ), ensure that Io Express is activated (look under the Xena Options tab), and then set up
your workflow by defining Input and Output formats and timing options. Io Express
remembers the workflow settings you make. Next, access the
File Options tab to name the
capture file, set file options, and set up the path to your file storage directory. Under the
General options tab you can set Device Control timecode options.
