Transferring a Project and Associated Media Files
There are two basic methods for transferring projects with their media files between Avid systems:
 | |
Back up the project files and transport the media files on a removable
storage device.
|
| |
Send sequences, clips, or entire projects to a network storage device.
|
To transfer a work in progress and associated media files to another
Avid system:
| 1. | |
(Option) Consolidate the media for the project onto an appropriate
drive for transfer to the other system. For more information on
consolidating, see Consolidating and Transcoding Media.
|
 |
|
Do not rename the folders named OMFI MediaFiles located on the
media drive. The target system uses the folder names to locate the
media files.
|
Alternatively, create a folder at the top level of the media drive and
copy the project folder and any settings files to that folder.
| 3. | |
Close the Avid application and shut down your system.
|
| 4. | |
Remove the drives containing the media files, and take them and the
floppy disk to the new location.
|
 | |
For more information on moving hard drives and removable drives from
one system to another, see the documentation that came with your drives.
|
| 5. | |
With the system at the new location turned off, insert or connect the
drives and start the system.
|
| 7. | |
Start the Avid application, open the project, and resume work.
|
| |
The Avid system reconstructs the MediaFiles database the first time you
start the application to incorporate the new media into the system's
internal directory.
