choose to continue the operation, and you can view the reason for the restriction in the Restrictions
tool. You can change restriction comments by using Avid Assist and then view them in your Avid
editing application.
The clip icon of any clip that contains restricted material displays the Restriction icon. For more
information about working with restrictions, see “Working with Restricted Material” on page 309.
You can use extended search capabilities to search for restrictions in Interplay Access. Use the DRM
property. For general information about searching in Interplay Access, see the Interplay | Access
User's Guide.

A user can view restrictions in Media Composer, MediaCentral UX, and Interplay Access, but can
create, delete, or modify restrictions only in MediaCentral UX or Interplay Assist. An administrator
sets permission to create and modify restrictions in the Instinct/Assist User Settings in the Interplay
Administrator. Permission to modify restrictions includes permission to delete restrictions.
Understanding Access Control for Avid Assets
Access control protects assets in a workgroup environment. An administrator uses the Interplay
Administrator to assign access levels to groups and to particular folders. For example, you might
have permission to read, write, and delete some assets, but only have permission to read other assets.
For more information, see the Avid Interplay Engine and Avid Interplay Archive Engine
Administration Guide.
When you check in an Avid asset to the database, the system creates a link to the clip or sequence and
displays the link in the Production Management Window. When you create a copy of a master clip or
sequence, the system creates a copy of the link.
Each individual link to an asset has its own access control. This means that it is possible to have read/
write/delete access to an asset in folder A, but only read access to another instance of the asset in
folder B. For example, if a master clip is visible in two folders, one with a reservation and one
without, when you delete the master clip in the non-reserved folder, the master clip in the reserved
folder (and the related media) is not deleted.
Moving, Copying, Duplicating, and Deleting Avid Assets
You can move, copy, and duplicate clips and sequences to other folders in the Production
Management Window in order to group and organize various types of material based on project
needs. When you copy clips from one folder to another, any custom columns that you created in the
first folder are also copied to the second folder. The custom columns appear in the order in which you
created them.
Remember that there is a difference between copying and duplicating:
• When you copy a clip, you create a reference clip (link) to a clip in another folder, and any
change you make to the copy affects the original as well.
• When you duplicate a clip, you create a new asset. This asset points to the same media files
(audio and video) but is associated with a completely new set of metadata (by default, a new
name and new creation date). Any modifications that you make to the duplicated clip, such as
adding markers, do not affect the original clip's metadata.
c
Because a duplicated clip points to the same media as the original clip, be careful when deleting
duplicated clips that you do not unintentionally delete media.
