Macintosh computer. If you are not familiar with using
a Mac, we would like to suggest that you take the time to read over your Macintosh manuals

Please make sure you have read the License Agreement at the end of this manual prior

you signify that you agree to the terms of the
License Agreement. If you do not agree with the
License, do not install this software, and please

Installing Media Cleaner Pro
The Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM contains an installer application to put Media Cleaner and
its needed files onto your hard drive.
To install Media Cleaner, double-click on the "Install Media Cleaner" icon on the
Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM.
Within the installer you may drag either the
"Full Install", "Medium Install" or "Minimum Install"
to the disk icon on which you wish to install
Media Cleaner.
The Media Cleaner Wizard contains sample videos to show what the various
compression parameters look like. You have the option
of installing these movies onto your hard drive,
or leaving them on the CD-ROM. See below for details on what each install option includes.
NOTE: The installer does not install any
third party software, such as RealMedia or VDOLive.
Please see "Installing Third Party
Products" below for more details.
Full Install
If you choose the "Full Install", all the
sample movies will be placed on your hard drive. A
full install takes about 100 Mb. If you choose the
full install, you will not need the Media Cleaner
Pro 2.0 CD-ROM in the drive in order to view the sample movies within the Media Cleaner
Wizard window.
Medium Install
If you choose the "Medium Install", only the
low data rate movies (20 KBps and under) will be installed on your hard drive. This will take
about 50 Mb of disk space. You will need to have
the CD-ROM in the drive if you wish to view higher data rate sample movies.
Minimum Install
If you choose the "Minimum Install", none of
the sample movies will be placed on your hard drive.
The application and its associated files take
about 3 Mb of disk space. However, if you wish to
use the expert system and view the sample video,
you must have the Media Cleaner CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive. You can use the program without the CD-ROM in the drive, but the sample
movies will not be accessible. Since the minimum
install requires that the Media Cleaner Wizard load
its movies from the CD-ROM, it will be a little
slower while running than the full install.

Installing the Adobe Premiere Export Module
To install the Media Cleaner Export Module, you must drag it from the
"Premiere Export Module" folder into your Adobe Premiere "Plug-ins" folder.
If Premiere is running when you do this, you must quit the application and restart it prior to
having access to the Media Cleaner Export Module.
Be sure to read Chapter 12 in order to
properly configure your settings in Premiere prior to
using this feature.

Installing Third Party Products
In order to create RealMedia or VDOLive movies, you must install the appropriate software
from the Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM. To do so, please use the appropriate installers found in
the "Multimedia Technologies" folder on the
Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM. Please see the
README file included in each company's folder for
more information and details on installing their software.
NOTE: You will not be able to use RealMedia
or VDOLive until you properly install the appropriate software from the ""Multimedia
Technologies" folder. The Media Cleaner Wizard will
not suggest using a format that is not properly installed.
The third party products included on the Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM are limited trial or
demo versions. They are great for getting started
and evaluating the specific technologies. However,
if you want to use these technologies on your site or CD-ROM, you will need to purchase the
full version. For more information on pricing,
please select "Codec Central" from Media
Cleaner's Internet menu.
NOTE: Terran Interactive does not
provide technical support for the third party
software included on the Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM.
If you have support questions, please contact the appropriate company technical
support numbers are included in the third party READMEs.

Installing QuickTime
Version 2.5 of Apple's QuickTime is included on the Media Cleaner Pro 2.0 CD-ROM for
your convenience. If you wish to install this
version, please use the installer in the QuickTime
2.5 folder. QuickTime 2.5 includes Sound Manager 3.2.1, which is required by Media Cleaner Pro 2.0.

Personalize Media Cleaner
The first time you launch Media Cleaner, it
will ask you for your serial number, name and company. The
serial number is attached to the inside of the back cover of this manual, near
the CD-ROM. It is also on the registration card.
Previous Owners of Movie Cleaner
You will need to use the new serial number that came with the Media Cleaner Pro 2.0
CD-ROM; Movie Cleaner serial numbers do not work
with version 2.0.
Your settings from Movie Cleaner will be converted into new Media Cleaner Pro
2.0 settings. Some new parameters may not be
set, so you should review your settings prior to
using them.
