Synced Projects

Updating and saving a project in Media Composer or NewsCutter updates the asset folders in
Interplay. When you add bins to your project, corresponding folders are created in the Interplay
database as subfolders within your project. Clips in your synced project are checked in to
Interplay automatically, avoiding the need for using the Unchecked-in Avid Assets folder.
Because synced projects use Interplay to update synced bins and folders, you must be connected
to Interplay in order to work with synced projects. You can manually copy your synced project
out of the synced projects folder to the shared projects folder on your system and then open it as
a shared project, but doing so prevents you from using the functionality of synced projects
necessary for collaboration with other users.

Synced project icons identify folders in the Interplay database created from bins in a synced
project. The synced project folders function the same way any asset folder does in Interplay.
Reservations and restrictions apply to synced folders and media assets as they do for all other
assets stored in Interplay. You should restrict changes to your bins and folders to your Avid
editing application, allowing Interplay to update with the changes so other users can access the
same updated project.
