Media Management
Video Tab/Audio Tab
Separate volumes for video and audio -
Activate this option if you wish to save video and audio media files in separate directories. If only
one tab is displayed (Video/Audio combined) a separate destination volume for audio has not
been specified in the Logging Tool (page 127).
It is normally recommended that video be saved with its audio data.
Show clip names on media tab (takes longer) -
Activate this option to display the individual clip names (as opposed to the names that were
assigned by Media Management) when you open the Media tab. It then takes slightly longer to
generate the list.
To reduce network traffic you can set up a local drive cache for all clip name files. Clip names stay
in this cache for 20 days before they are deleted.
Media Volumes (Directories)
This list applies to several modules and functions in Avid Liquid:
For Media Management:
Media Management searches the drives and directories listed here for Media Files that can be
used by Avid Liquid.
For the Logging Tool and Batch Digitize:
Any data resulting from digitizing is saved to the volumes (drives and directories) specified here.
If more than one volume is specified, the Primary Volume can be marked with an „X“.
If Switch to next available volume... is activated for the digitizing drives (“Disk Full State / Change
Vo lum e ” on page 137), digitizing continues on the next available volume(s) following the Pri-
mary Drive in the list or, if the end of the list has been reached, on the first drive at the top of the
list (Batch Digitize feature only).
For media-clip import/ALE import/Consolidate:
The Media Files of imported objects are saved to the specified volume (and possibly in specific
subdirectories, depending on their type, page 324). The same applies to ALE media files.
For capturing (digitizing) purposes, use NTFS partitioned hard disk drives exclusively. FAT32 may cause
problems with longer clips.
