Enabling Interplay Synced Projects
1205
Synced project asset folders in Interplay Access, with the synced project icon
Changes to a bin — for example, moving assets, importing master clips, or creating new
sequences — are automatically saved to Interplay folders. You can also update the Interplay
folder by saving or checking in a bin. When other users make changes to a synced project, you
can update a bin or update the entire project. You can update your synced project at any time by
manually saving your bins in Media Composer or NewsCutter.
When you delete items from a bin, the corresponding Interplay assets are deleted if the clips have
no restrictions so that deleting assets in a synced project follows the same rules followed when
deleting assets from any Interplay project. You cannot remove an item from your bin without
also deleting it from the Interplay database.
If you make changes to your synced folder on Interplay — for example, if you add or delete
media clips to your project — you can update your bins in your synced project by closing and
opening the project in your Avid editing application, or by selecting Update from Interplay. If
another user makes changes to the project — for example, by changing bins or folders or items in
a bin — you can update your synced project to see these changes. For more information, see
“Updating a Synced Project” on page 1212.
Enabling Interplay Synced Projects
Before you can use synced projects, your Interplay administrator needs to enable the Synced
Projects setting in the Interplay Administrator window.
