Connecting to the Avid Interplay Database

11. Click the Set button, and a directory tree is displayed for the Interplay database that you
logged in to.
12. Select a folder to use as the default Interplay Root Folder for your project and click OK.
The Interplay Folder setting defines where assets are checked into the Interplay database
when you use menu commands, automatic checkin, or Frame Chase capture. (This setting
does not apply when you manually drag media from a bin and drop it in a folder in the
Interplay Window.) Interplay checks media in to a subfolder of the folder you specify in this
dialog box. The subfolder is named after the bin whose assets you are checking in.
13. (Option) Select “Append project to directory path” if you want Interplay to create a folder
with your project name in the Projects folder.
This is the default setting. If this setting is selected, an Interplay folder named after the
project contains subfolders named after the bins in the project.
14. (Option) Select options to verify the directory path.
- On login: When selected, a message box asks you to confirm the directory path each
time you log in to Interplay. Select “for new projects only” if you want this message box
displayed only after you create a new project.
- On first checkin: When selected, a message box asks you to confirm the directory path
the first time you check in from a project. This message is displayed once for each time
you work in a project.
For more information, see “Verifying the Interplay Checkin Folder” on page 1148.
15. Click OK.
