By default, a 24-hour reservation is automatically placed on a folder whenever a new or
modified Avid asset is checked in to the Interplay database from a bin. An Interplay
administrator sets the default duration of the reservation in the Application Database Settings in
the Avid Interplay Administrator. For more information on reservations, see “Understanding
Reservations” on page 1172.
To add Avid assets from your bin to the Interplay database by using menu commands:
1. Open the bin that contains your clips or sequences.
2. Log in to the Interplay database if you have not already done so.
For more information, see “Connecting to the Avid Interplay Database” on page 1143.
Method Description
Check in assets by
checking in a bin
You can check in assets to a bin using the Bin > Check In Bin to Interplay command or the
Bin > Check in All Open Bins to Interplay command. These commands check in the
following items:
• Items that have been modified since they were last checked in or out
• Items that have been added to a bin.
• Items that do not exist in the database because they were deleted from the target folder
(the folder into which you are checking in)
If an item exists in the database but does not exist in the target folder (the folder into which
you are checking in), a link for the item is created in the target folder. Adding a link takes
much less time than performing a full checkin.
n
The command File > Check In Open Bins in Project performs the same actions as
Bin > Check In All Open Bins to Interplay.
Automatically
check in assets by
closing a bin
Automatic checkin is a setting enabled in the Application Database Settings in the Interplay
Administrator that lets you check in assets when closing a bin, a project, or your Avid
editing application. Automatic checkin is optimized to work more quickly than the menu
commands. If a bin contains any new or modified items, it is processed exactly as when you
use menu commands described above. If there are no new or modified items in a bin, no
items in the bin are checked in. In this case, automatic checkin will not detect if any items
have been deleted from the bin’s database folder. See “Automatically Checking In Avid
Assets” on page 1165.
Force a check-in
of selected items
If you want to make sure items are checked into the database (including items that have not
been modified and items that do not exist in the database), select the items, right-click, and
select Check In To Interplay.
Select assets and
drag them to the
Interplay Window
This command also forces a checkin of all selected items.
