25 Working with Avid Interplay from an Avid

Editing System

Avid Interplay is an asset management system that provides a central database of assets (such as

master clips, subclips, sequences, and graphics) that you use during your production process.

This section is primarily for editing systems within an Interplay workgroup. If you are an editor

using Interplay Sphere, or if you work with assets created by remote Interplay Sphere editors,

then refer to “Using Your Avid Editing Application with Interplay Sphere” on page 1214 or the

Avid Interplay Sphere Remote News Editing Workflow Guide.
