Chapter 4: Avid Unity ISIS Workflows for Pro Tools 47
After Checking In a Sequence to
Interplay for Pro Tools
The system exports the sequence from the Avid
application, and then checks in the sequence to
Interplay.
If the Interplay folder containing the exported
sequence has been configured with video and
audio settings defined in the Editor Export Set-
tings for Pro Tools plug-in, those settings are ap-
plied to the sequence. (These settings can apply
to either the entire database or to one or more
folders, depending on how they are configured.)
When you use an Avid application to check in a
sequence to Interplay for Pro Tools, the system
chooses a destination folder in the Interplay da-
tabase based on the current Interplay view set-
tings, with the default destination folder as fol-
lows:
Projects\project_name\bin_name
If your check-in destination folder is a folder for
which settings have not been defined, the sys-
tem displays the Pro Tools Export Settings dia-
log so you can specify the settings.
Exported Files in Interplay
If this is the first time the you have checked in a
sequence to Interplay for Pro Tools for this
project, the system performs the following oper-
ations:
• Checks in the Avid sequence to the bin_name
folder.
• Creates a Pro Tools folder within the bin_name
folder.
• Checks in the files for the Pro Tools editor to
the Pro Tools folder.
• Checks in a Pro Tools sequence to the
Pro Tools folder.
The first time the sequence is exported, the sys-
tem appends the text “_v1_forPT” to the se-
quence name in the Pro Tools folder. Each sub-
sequent time the sequence is exported, it uses
the text “_v2_forPT,” “_v3_forPT,” and so on.
