The Avid Media Access Workflow

Avid Media Access is a plug-in architecture that allows you to link directly

to a third-party volume, without importing files to your media drives. AMA

populates a bin with master clips that link directly to media on the device,

letting you browse and edit content directly.

Using AMA

In the AMA Settings dialog box, you can choose to turn AMA on or off,

automatically mount your volumes, and customize your bin. AMA is turned

on by default.

To set up AMA:

1. In the Project window, click the Settings tab.

2. Double-click AMA. The AMA Settings dialog box appears.

3. Click the Volume Mounting tab.

4. Select Enable AMA Volume Management, if necessary.

This option is usually selected by default. If you do need to select it,

you must restart Media Composer to start this option.
