Understanding Restrictions
Restrictions are placed on Avid assets by adding the restrictions to markers in Avid Interplay
Assist. A restriction can represent material that should not be used. It might contain material that
needs to be used only after rights are available on a certain date, that the organization must pay
for upon use, or that has copyright requirements or other legal restrictions limiting its use.
Restriction marker on a clip icon in the Research panel
You can see the restriction markers on the clip icons in the Interplay Window and in your bin.
Your Avid editing application warns you about the restriction when you display the restricted
material in the monitor, perform a digital cut, send it to playback, or export it. You can choose to
continue the operation, and you can view the reason for the restriction in the Restrictions tool.
You can change restriction comments by using Interplay Assist and then view them in your Avid
editing application. For more information on setting restrictions and on using Interplay Assist,
see the Avid Interplay Assist User’s Guide.
The clip icon of any clip that contains restricted material displays the Restriction icon. For more
information about working with restrictions, see “Working with Restricted Material” on
page 371.
You can use extended search capabilities to search for restrictions in Avid Interplay Access. Use
the DRM property. For general information about searching in Interplay Access, see the Avid
Interplay Access User's Guide.
Understanding Access Control for Avid Assets
Access control protects assets in a workgroup environment. The Interplay administrator uses the
Avid Interplay Administrator application to assign access levels to groups and to particular
folders. For example, you might have permission to read, write, and delete some assets, but only
have permission to read other assets. For more information, see the Avid Interplay Engine and
Avid Interplay Archive Engine Administration Guide.
When you check in an Avid asset to the database, the system creates a link to the clip or sequence
and displays the link in the Interplay Window. When you create a copy of a master clip or
sequence, the system creates a copy of the link.
