Setting Options for Deleting Only OMF Media, Only MXF Media, or Both
If a clip is associated with both OMF and MXF media, you might want to delete only the OMF
media or only the MXF media. You can enable an option in the Interplay Administrator so that
the Delete dialog box gives users the option of which media format to delete.
To set an option that allows deleting only OMF media or only MXF media:
1. In the Site Settings section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Delete Behavior
icon.
2. In the OMF media handling section, select “Allow user choice for deleting OMF/MXF
media.”
3. Click Apply.
The next time a user logs into Interplay Access and opens the Delete dialog box, the
following options are displayed:
- MXF and OMF media (default)
- Only OMF media
- Only MXF media
Setting Options for Deleting Locked Media
Editors working in an Avid editing application can use the Lock feature to lock a clip. This can
cause a problem if the lock is no longer needed and the administrator wants to delete the asset.
The administrator can set an option to control how Interplay Access handles locked clips during
a Delete operation. The default setting is for Interplay Access to skip any locked files.
To set an option for deleting locked media:
1. In the Site Settings section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the Delete Behavior
icon.
2. In the Locked media handling section, select one of the following options:
- Allow user choice in Delete dialog: Two options are available in the Delete dialog box:
“Skip” and “Force delete.”
- Always skip (default): In the Delete dialog box, the “Skip” option is shown but cannot
be changed.
- Always force-delete: In the Delete dialog box, the “Force delete” option is shown but
cannot be changed.
Both “Skip” and “Force Delete” options are always active for Interplay Access users with
administrative privileges
3. Click Apply to save any changes.
