5. If you want to include burn-in timecode or an asset name, select Time code or Asset name.
These options display in your clip.
6. Click Make a custom comp request.
The request is sent to Thought Equity Motion. You will receive an e-mail once your custom
comp is available to download. If you choose to download the comp by clicking the URL in
your e-mail, you will need to download and link the clip outside of the Avid editor. See the
steps below for those procedures.
7. To download your comp directly into the Avid editor, from the Avid Marketplace window,
navigate to the Avid Thought Equity Motion sight and click on My Account. Select My
Orders from the menu.
8. Click Download under On Demand Comps.
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.
9. 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.
n
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 comp clips outside of the Avid editing application to an Avid bin:
1. If you are downloading a comp clip or a custom comp clip from an external browser,
download the comp files to your system.
You can store the downloaded files in the Avid Downloads folder or to your Desktop. If
there are multiple clips, the downloaded file will be zipped. You will need to unzip them.
2. Select the Avid bin you want to place the comp clip or customized comp clip into, then
right-click and select Link to Stock Footage File(s). You can also select File > Link to Stock
Footage File(s).
