Administrator Settings for Avid Editing Clients
1142
You can check assets in and out in several different ways:
• Check assets out by dragging them from the Interplay Window or from Interplay Access (see
“Checking Avid Assets Out Using the Interplay Window” on page 1159 or “Checking Avid
Assets Out Using Interplay Access” on page 1162).
• Check assets in by dragging them to the Interplay Window or by using one of several menu
commands (see “Checking Avid Assets In to the Interplay Database” on page 1162).

Avid Interplay manages two kinds of assets: Avid assets, which are assets that are created by
Avid applications (master clips, subclips, and so on) and file assets, which are assets that are
created by other applications. When you work with Interplay from an Avid editing system, you
can work only with Avid assets. You can use Interplay Access to work with both Avid assets and
file assets.
Administrator Settings for Avid Editing Clients
The Interplay Administrator includes several settings that affect Avid editing systems that are
clients in an Interplay workgroup:
• Application Database Settings: Editing Settings tab
- Check in bins when closing: Allows an administrator to set the default behavior for
checking in media objects from open bins to the Interplay database when closing your
Avid editing application. The default is “Ask user.” See “Automatically Checking In
Avid Assets” on page 1165.
• Instinct/Assist User Settings
- Can create new column properties: If yes, allows the selected user or group to add new
properties to an asset. If an editing application user regularly checks assets into
Interplay, select “yes.”
- Can modify column properties: If yes, allows the selected user or group to modify the
properties of an asset (such as the name or a comment). If an editing application user
regularly checks assets into Interplay, select “yes.”
- Can create markers: If yes, allows the selected user or group to create markers. If no, a
user of an Avid editing application can still create markers for an asset, but can check in
only the asset, not the marker metadata (an error message is displayed).
- Can modify markers: If yes, allows the selected user or group to modify or delete
markers. If no, a user of an Avid editing application can still modify markers on an asset,
but can check in only the asset, not the marker metadata (an error message is displayed).
In most cases, if an administrator wants a user to create markers, select “yes” for both
“Can create markers” and “Can modify markers.” Both settings are needed because
adding text is one aspect of modifying a marker.
