Editing with Remote Assets

1159

The Client Manager mounts the selected workspaces on your client and the Online icons for

the mounted workspaces change to green. The Workspaces list displays the drives the

workspaces are mounted to. If you use letterless drive mappings, the Workspaces list

displays “UNC path” next to the Online icons.

4. (Option) If you want the selected workspaces remounted the next time you log in,

right-click, and select “Enable auto mount”.

The next time you log in to your client system, the Client Manager will automatically mount

the selected workspaces.

Editing with Remote Assets

When you edit with remote assets in a workgroup environment, you need to keep in mind that

other users might share the clips and sequences in your project. When you first set up your

project, you can load the assets you want to work with to the Source monitor, mark In and Out

points, and add them to your sequence in the Timeline where you can create your effects and edit

your footage. You can then check in your sequence, including titles and effects, to the database

so others can access your work. Also, you should update the sequence in your bin to ensure that

the remote assets in your sequence include the most recent changes you and other users have

made.

Checking Avid Assets Out Using the Interplay Window

You can copy assets from the Interplay database to a bin. This process is called checking out.

Checking out assets from the Interplay database creates a local copy of the assets but does not

create a local copy of the associated media. When you check the assets back in to the Interplay

database, Interplay looks for any changes to the assets and copies the changes back to the

database. See “Checking Avid Assets In to the Interplay Database” on page 1162.

You can load clips directly from the Interplay Window. See “Editing with Avid Assets in the

Interplay Window” on page 1166.

To check Avid assets out of the Interplay database using the Interplay Window:

1. Start your Avid editing application, and either create a new project or open a bin in an

existing project.

2. Log in to the Interplay database.

For more information, see “Connecting to the Avid Interplay Database” on page 1143.

3. Select Tools > Interplay Window.

4. Navigate to the project containing the master clips and sequences (assets) you want to use,

and click the folder that contains the assets.
