Selecting Drives in the Media Creation Dialog Box
| Single/Dual Drives Mode button |
To select drives in the Media Creation dialog box:
The Settings scroll list appears.
| 2. | |
Double-click Media Creation.
|
 | |
You can also select Tools > Media Creation.
|
| 3. | |
Click the Drive Filtering tab.
|
You can remove from the list of available drives the drive where your
operating system is located and the drive where the Avid application is
located. This allows you to choose to store media only on drives with
sufficient space.
| 4. | |
Select one of the following:
|
| – |
|
Filter Based on Resolution: Removes as a storage choice the
drives that cannot support the selected resolution. This option
causes the Avid editing system to utilize only Avid MediaDrives.
|
| – |
|
Filter Out System Drive: Removes as a storage choice the drive
on which the operating system resides.
|
| – |
|
Filter Out Launch Drive: Removes as a storage choice the drive
on which the Avid application resides.
|
| |
These are both selected by default.
|
The drive or drives you select do not appear in the other Media
Creation dialog box tabs as possible locations where you can store
media. They also do not appear in other drive selection menus in the
application except for the Import, Export, and Relink dialog boxes.
| 5. | |
Click the tab for the area in which you want to work.
|
| 6. | |
Choose a video drive and an audio drive. To choose the same drive for
both audio and video, click the Single/Dual Drives Mode button until
only a single drive pop-up menu appears.
|
| |
The drive that appears in boldface type has the most available space.
|
| 7. | |
(Option) If you are working with the Capture tab, you can select a
drive group. Click the bottom of the Video Drive or the Audio Drive
pop-up menu, and select Change Group. For more information on
selecting a drive group, see Capturing to Multiple Media Files.
|
| |
Because no audio is associated with titles or motion effects, you can select
only a video drive in the Titles and Motion Effects tabs.
|
| 8. | |
To apply your drive selection to all the Media Creation dialog box tabs
and the rest of the application, click Apply to All.
|
This sets your chosen video and audio drives for all the Media
Creation dialog box tabs. It also sets them for any place in the
application where you select drives.
| |
Your settings are not saved until you click OK.
|
| 9. | |
Click OK to save your settings.
