The Avid Media Access Workflow
Using Virtual Volumes
Yo u c a n a l s o u s e a virtual volume to copy media to your system from a P2
card, an XDCAM optical disk or an XDCAM EX card. This allows you to move
the files from the card, and then re-use them as necessary. Because the folder
structure is retained after moving, a virtual volume can be placed in a number
of locations, such as a folder on your media drive on a server. However, some
file formats call for the virtual volume folder to reside one level beneath the root
directory for the system to display it as a virtual volume.
Using the AMA workflow, all virtual volumes must initially be mounted manually.
To manually link clips from another volume with AMA:
1. Select File > Link to AMA Volumes to open the Browse For Folder
dialog box.
2. Navigate to the desired volume (for example, the P2 or XDCAM folder).
Both P2 and XDCAM media have an intricate folder hierarchy. For P2,
navigate one level above the Contents folder. Often, the default name
for the folder will be No Name or Untitled.
For P2 media, navigate to the folder one level above the
Contents folder to access the media in an AMA session.
For XDCAM disks, navigate to one level above the Clip folder. For
XDCAM EX, navigate to one level above the BPAV folder.
3. Click OK. The clips appear in the bin with a yellow highlight.
4. View and rename the AMA clips accordingly.
NOTE Whether you are
using an existing bin
or creating a new bin,
the Bin Selection dialog
box may open. If it does,
select the appropriate
Bin Selection options.
