In previous versions, Pro Tools had a limited-
functionality tool for accessing files on Interplay
servers. Pro Tools 9.0 directly supports the Inter-
play Access browser, which offers expanded
functionality for previewing, searching, and
sorting media.
To check out a sequence from Interplay and import
it into Pro Tools using Interplay Access:
1 Start Pro Tools.
2 If you want to import the sequence into an ex-
isting session, open that session.
3 Choose File > Import > Sequence from Avid Inter-
play. The Interplay Access window appears.
4 In the Interplay Access window, expand the
Interplay database by clicking the plus sign (+)
next to it.
5 Expand the root folder of the database—usu-
ally titled AvidWG or a variation thereof—by
clicking the plus sign (+) next to its name.
6 Expand the Projects folder.
7 Expand the project containing the sequence
you want to check out and import to Pro Tools.
8 The Logon to Interplay dialog appears.
9 Enter your username and password, and click
OK.
10 In the Interplay Access window, locate and
select the sequence that you want to import.
11 Click OK.
12 If the Name the Session dialog appears, nav-
igate to the appropriate location either on local
storage or on a dedicated workspace on the net-
work, and click Save.
13 Pro Tools imports the sequence, copies any
media (if the settings require copying), and dis-
plays the imported sequence within the
Pro Tools session.
If the sequence was linked to media files on un-
mounted volumes, the system provides a warn-
ing and asks you to mount those volumes before
you proceed with copying or linking to media.
