Re: Avid Media Composer and sharing media on a SAN

Hi, David.

In the suggested working environment you should drop newly created files (files, not folders) into "the shared" Avid Mediafiles location: let's say, for instance, "SAN -> Avid Mediafiles -> MXF -> 1".
Or you can create a numbered folder inside of MXF folder, i.e. "2" and copy the files there - thus making them easy to locate in case something goes wrong.
Or you can rename your local "1" folder into "2" (in case you don't already have a folder named "2" in shared place) and copy this folder into that same shared MXF folder.
Or you can use Consolidate feature inside Avid to gather new media to the shared storage.

Hope that makes sence))

But don't forget: It doesn't prevent scanning, but only makes it controllable.

Feel free to ask,
Eugeny
