Choose Drives with Enough Storage Space
Choose MediaDrives with enough space to store the material. If you
are recording from a Mark IN to a Mark OUT and choose drives
without enough storage, a dialog box appears. Switch to drives that
have enough storage space for the clip and begin recording.
If the drive Þlls during recording, a dialog box appears. Switch drives
and the system continues recording at the timecode where it stopped
recording. When you Þnish, edit the two clips together into one clip.
When you have the Discontinuous Timecode option selected, the
system switches drives automatically. For more information, see the
section on recording discontinuous timecode in the applicationÕs
userÕs guide.
Store Fewer Than 100 Clips in Each Bin
Avid bins function most efÞciently when they contain fewer than 100
clips. When you are working with a lot of source material, create a
number of bins, each named according to the events it contains. Then
you can log or record an optimal number of clips into each bin. For
AirPlay MP commercial insertion applications, you may want to
organize the bins by ID numbers.
Create Large Rather Than Small Master Clips
The system works more efÞciently when there are fewer individual
media Þles online. Therefore, log and record larger master clips when
possible. Then you can break the master clips into smaller subclips.
