• Do not name files with special characters (/ \ : ? ” < > | *). Windows does not recognize
special characters in file names. Bin names are limited to 27 characters (not including
the four characters reserved for the file name extension).
• Do not schedule automatic backups at times when your Avid editing system might be in
use.
• Do not run any application that includes prescheduled or automatically scheduled
activities, such as a calendar program.
• Do not leave other applications running. Some applications, such as Microsoft Office,
run background processes.
• Do not allow the Find Fast background process (find.exe) to run. The process tries to
update its cache of file and folder locations. Check your Startup folder, and delete the
file if it is there. To locate the find.exe, select Start > Search > find.exe.
Optimum Performance (Macintosh)
The following list contains suggestions for ensuring optimum performance when working
with your Avid editing application on a Macintosh system:
• Do not select the option that puts the hard disk to sleep when possible.
In System Preferences > Hardware Energy Saver, deselect Put the hard disk(s) to sleep
when possible.
• Set sleep options to Never in Energy Saver preference.
In System Preferences > Hardware Energy Saver, select Never.
• Disable screensavers.
In System Preferences > Personal Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver, select Never.
Antivirus Applications
Antivirus programs that contain autoscanning features can interfere with the operation of
your Avid editing application. Since virus scanning is a processor-and disk-intensive
activity, it can interfere with capturing and playing real-time effects in your Avid editing
application.
Avid recommends you do not scan files or schedule any background tasks such as virus
scanning when you use your Avid editing application.
