Downloading Stock Footage Clips to Your Avid Bin
Once you select clips from the Avid Thought Equity Motion site, you can download low
resolution comp clips into your Avid bin to try them out in your sequence.
Although it is recommended to download directly through your Avid editing system, if needed,
you can download clips outside of the Avid editing system from an external browser. Store the
clips on your system and link them to your bin at a later time. This process can also be used to
recreate clips for previously downloaded files.
n
It is recommended that you do not change the file name of the downloaded clip. The file name
includes information that is used for linking.
n
An internet connection is required when you link clips in order to properly recognize files and
access the data needed for any new clip metadata.
