Transferring Project and Media Files Between Avid Editing Systems
1131
The default locations for application folders are listed in the following table. The exact
location on your system depends on your Avid editing application, its version, and how it
was installed on your system. For example, older versions store projects in an Avid Projects
folder that is located in the same folder as the application.
3. Copy the folders or files you want to maintain at the new location onto a storage device or a
location on a server.
Alternatively, create a folder at the top level of the media drive and copy the folders or files
to that folder.
4. If you are transferring a removable drive, quit your Avid editing application and shut down
your system.
5. Remove the drives containing the media files, and take them and the storage device to the
new location.
6. With the system at the new location turned off, insert or connect the drives and start the
system.
7. Copy the folders or files to the appropriate folder.
The folder locations might be slightly different, depending on the product and how it was
installed. Ignore any Resource folders or files that appear.
8. Start your Avid editing application.
The new project appears in the Project window. New user settings appear in the Users list.
Site settings are active for all projects at the new location.
