Exported Files in Interplay
If this is the first time the you have checked in a
sequence to Interplay for Pro Tools for this proj-
ect, the system performs the following opera-
tions:
• 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 “_forPT_1” to the se-
quence name in the Pro Tools folder. Each sub-
sequent time the sequence is exported, it uses
the text “_forPT_2,” “_forPT_3,” and so on.
The following illustration shows the contents of
the Pro Tools folder after the first export.
