Interplay creates a synced project folder. To view the folder structure in Interplay, open the
Interplay Window.
Opening an Existing Synced Project
When you open an Interplay synced project that you have not opened before, your Avid editing
application creates a new project based on the settings saved for the project in Interplay. The
project contains bins based on the asset folders in the database that the original project created.
When you open a synced project that already exists on your system, the project automatically
updates some settings and assets for the project in Interplay. The project automatically updates
the core project settings and the folder and bin hierarchy, adding and deleting folders and bins if
necessary. Bins update from Interplay when you open them.
Opening a synced project does not check out media assets from Interplay if those assets have not
changed.

If the Select Project dialog box displays synced projects that are stored on your local system but
which have been deleted from Interplay, a dialog box opens and asks you if you want to convert
the projects to shared projects by moving them to the shared projects folder or if you want to
delete them. You can choose to move or delete them, or you can click Cancel to keep the project
in the project list but. The dialog box appears each time you open a new project until you remove
the deleted synced projects from your local system.
To open an existing synced project:
1. Start your Avid editing application.
The Select Project dialog box opens.
2. If you are not already signed in to Interplay, do the following:
a. In the Host Name text box, type the computer name or IP address of your Interplay
server.
b. In the User Name text box, type a user name.
This name must be a known user on your workgroup system.
c. In the Password text box, type your password, and click Login.
When the Login button changes to the Logout button, you are connected to the Interplay
database.
3. In the Select Project dialog box, select Synced.
