If you select the Download Comp Arrow icon, a Download window opens allowing you to
select a Customize Comp clip. See the steps in the following procedures to customize your
comp clip.
If you select the Download Comp button or the menu item, the Select a bin window opens.
If you only have one Avid bin opened, the clip downloads to that bin. If you have several
Avid bins opened, the Select a bin window opens.
4. Select the bin you want to download the clips to or click New Bin, and then click OK.
If the clip that you selected has already been downloaded to your system, a dialog box opens
allowing you to overwrite the file or cancel the download.

If you choose to overwrite the file, the system replaces the original file and creates a new clip in
the Avid bin. Any clips originally linked to the previous version of the file might be offline.
A download progress bar appears in the lower-left corner of the Avid Marketplace window.
You can click the Cancel button next to the progress bar at any time during the download
process to cancel the download.
While the clips are downloading, you can continue to work in your Avid editing application.
However, do not close the target bin or the Avid editing application while the download is in
progress or the download will not complete successfully.
The word Complete displays when the download is finished and the stock footage clip
appears in your Avid bin. An AMA link icon appears next to the clip. The clip is a
low-resolution clip. You can add the clip to your sequence and edit it like any other clip.
To download multiple comp clips to an Avid bin:
1. From the Avid Thought Equity Motion site, click My Bins and select the bin that stores the
clips you want to download.
Your bin opens and displays the clips you want to download.
2. Click Download comps for the bin name located in the Options menu on the left of the page.
3. Click Download X Comps.
X represents the number of clips in the bin. For example, if there are twelve clips to
download, the button will display as Download 12 Comps.
