Understanding AVX Plug-Ins
AVX Plug-in icon
Third-party plug-in effects are compatible with the Avid Visual Extensions (AVX) standard. AVX is a cross-platform software architecture designed to allow software effect modules to be dynamically linked with a host application such as an Avid editing application.
  If you are transferring from another system a project that includes sequences with AVX plug-in effects, you must install matching AVX plug-ins to see the effects.
You can purchase these plug-ins directly from a third-party vendor. For a complete, up-to-date list of AVX plug-in vendors and other information on AVX, see the AVX Web site:
www.avid.com/partners/avx/displayPartners.html
After you install third-party plug-ins, the effects appear in the Effect Palette in their own category (usually the name of the plug-in vendor). Individual effects all have a plug effect icon. The plug icon also appears in the Timeline when you apply a third-party plug-in effect. After you create an effect, you can save it as an effect template and reapply the template to other transitions or segments in your sequence. Effect templates also appear in a special section at the bottom of the Effect Palette.
  Your Avid editing application also supports Digidesign AudioSuite plug-ins. These plug-ins apply only to audio clips and do not appear in the Effect Palette. For more information, see Digidesign AudioSuite Plug-Ins.
