External

An External Project can be saved to any directory, either local or remote. Depending on the

file-system permissions set on the selected folder, other users or an administrator may or may not

be able to access the project. The external option is particularly useful when you want to save the

project on shared network drive to make project maintenance easier.

Avid does not support sharing bins in an Interplay environment. If you create projects on shared

storage, do not allow editors to work in the same bin at the same time. This can result in data

loss or media corruption. Instead of sharing bins, editors should use the Interplay Window to

collaborate and share material.

Interplay Settings in the Editing Application

The Interplay Folder setting defines where the Avid editing application checks files into the

Interplay database. After you open a project you can specify several Interplay settings, including

the Interplay Folder. To access the settings, open the Settings scroll list in the in the Project

window. The following table lists the Interplay-related settings.
