Introducing Tools and Workflow
Opening an Existing Project
1. When you want to work on a project that already exists, you need to
locate it and select it.
If the project is located in the private or shared Avid Projects folder,
click the appropriate button in the Select Project dialog box.
If the project is located elsewhere, select the External button, and
then click the Browse button to navigate to your project.
2. In the navigation screen, locate your project, and click Choose.
Opening an Existing User or
Creating a New User Profile
User profiles are very important when editing in Media Composer because
they allow you to customize your editing workspace to suit your personal
workflow. Tailoring your user profile by modifying keyboard settings, win-
dow layouts, and the user interface make your editing process faster and
more efficient. (We’ll discuss setting customizations in Chapter 6.)
Media Composer can store as many user profiles as you need. When you
start Media Composer for the first time, the default user profile name is the
same as your system login. However, you can choose another existing user
profile or create a new one.
