Other applications can create XML files that conform to Avid requirements. These files do not require the file name extension .aeo, but they must conform to Avid specifications, as listed in the MetaSync DTD files (see
Main Topics: MetaSync DTD Files (Windows Only)). You need to import these files into MetaSync Manager so that MetaSync Manager can validate the files and generate a unique ID.
The enhancements file is verified. If it conforms to the DTD file, the enhancements file is converted to MetaSync Manager format. MetaSync Manager creates a file with the same name in the same folder as the original file, with the file name extension .aeo. The file opens in the spreadsheet window with a unique ID automatically assigned to each enhancement.
