Using the AvidáXpressáPro or AvidáXpressáDV Folder
The AvidáXpressáPro or AvidáXpressáDV folder contains essential operational files and supporting files. You can find the AvidáXpressáPro or AvidáXpressáDV folder in the following location:
  (Windows) drive:\Program Files\Avid\
  (Macintosh) Macintosh HD/Applications/
You should not touch any of these files, except where noted in the following descriptions:
  Help folder: This folder contains the Help files. You can find information about Help by clicking Main Topics: Using Help in the Contents list.
  AvidáXpressáPro or AvidáXpressáDV application: The application icon resides here. You can start the application by following the procedures described in Starting the Avid Application (Windows) or Starting the Avid Application (Macintosh).
  Settings folder: In addition to Project and User settings, the system maintains settings files in this folder that apply to all users and all projects on the system. You can copy or move the Site Settings file to other systems on the desktop, using the same procedure described in Moving Settings Between Systems.
  SupportingFiles folder: This folder contains a series of files that add functionality to the application. The system accesses most of these files from within the application. You can add third-party effects to the 3rd Party Plug-Ins folder and AVX_Plug-Ins folder from programs such as Avid Visual Extensions (AVX) for use in effects editing, as described in Using Third-Party Plug-in Effects.
