The Avid Users folder is located in the application folder:
n
(Windows only) The location of the Avid Users folder depends on the installation path for your
Avid editing application.
Files and Folders Created For Projects
When you create a new project, your Avid editing application creates a folder with the name that
you entered when you created the project. The following three files are stored within the project
folder:
• A project file (.avp)
• A project settings file (.xml)
• A bin file (.avb)
The project folder and the three files all use the project name you provide. The project folder is
stored in the Avid Projects folder.
Your project settings are initially set to the default values. As you create additional bins for the
project (see “Creating a New Bin” on page 73), additional bin (.avb) files are added to the project
folder.
