26 Interplay Synced Projects
Interplay Synced Projects provide you with a way to link your bins and projects in Media
Composer or NewsCutter with the folder structure for assets stored in your Avid Interplay
database. When you make changes in your project, the changes are saved to Interplay. Other
users can work on the same synced project and update their bins and folders by updating them
from Interplay. With the synced bins and media asset folders updated, you can easily collaborate
on projects with other users, adding bins and editing media that you can sync through Interplay.
When you share a synced project with a user or a group of users, they can access the same
synced bins and media you set up for your project.
A synced project consists of an Avid editing project on your local machine and an Interplay
synced project, which consists of a folder hierarchy matching folders and bins in your local
project. By default, you create a local project in a folder on your local machine called Avid
Synced Projects, which is in the same folder as your Avid Shared Projects. You create the
Interplay synced project in a root-level folder called Synced Projects. As you create local
projects, folders, and bins, you also create corresponding Interplay folders.

Synced Projects
When you start your Avid editing application and select Synced Project in the New Project
dialog box, you see the list of Interplay Synced Projects you can access, depending on the
permissions attached to the projects. Interplay Synced Projects appear locally as synced projects
in the synced projects path on your local machine.
