AVID MEDIA ACCESS ON INTERPLAY

QuickTime AMA linked files are local storage. Like all local storage, this media is not

visible or accessible to other Avid Interplay or Avid Unity users. Still, you can edit with

AMA linked clips and then consolidate or transcode (as appropriate) your completed

sequence (or selected clips) to Interplay.

Using Shared Storage to Hold AMA Content

You may wish to use your Avid Interplay or Avid Unity storage to hold QuickTime media

which could be shared by several edit suites.

For example, Graphic Artists could copy QuickTime files to a folder on Interplay in

preparation for the edit. The Editor would access this copied material by linking with

AMA. You could edit, and then consolidate or transcode the final product to Interplay

managed storage.

The QuickTime files must be on an Interplay workspace or in an Interplay folder that is

not monitored by the Media Indexer. Native QuickTime files cannot be indexed and

shared in the same manner as OP-ATOM (Avid format) files can be.

Deleting an AMA connected Clip

If you select an AMA connected clip in the Avid

Editing System bin and then press DELETE, you will

only be given the option to delete the clip and not

the media files associated with it.

The deletion of AMA linked media must be done

outside the Avid application at the Operating

System level.
