Transferring Bins from MediaLog
137
If you log your source footage with MediaLog, you can transfer the bins directly to your Avid
editing application to batch capture. You can also import the logs as described in “Importing
Shot Log Files” on page 160.
To transfer bins from MediaLog:
1. Save the MediaLog bins to a storage device or disk.
If you use MediaLog for Macintosh, make sure that your Windows system can mount the
storage device or disk correctly. If your MediaLog folders are available through a server or
other networked source, locate the MediaLog folder.
2. Attach the storage device from MediaLog to the Avid editing system, or insert the disk into
the Avid editing system.
3. Quit your Avid editing application.
4. Open the project folder in which you want to store the MediaLog bins.
This folder is located in the Avid Projects folder. For information about the location of the
Avid Projects folder, see “Avid Projects and Avid Users Folders” on page 46.
5. Navigate to the location on your storage device or network drive where you copied the bins
you want to transfer.
6. Select the bins in the storage device or network drive, and save them to the project folder on
your Avid editing system.
To associate the transferred bins with your project:
1. Restart your Avid editing application and open your project.
2. Associate the imported bins with your project by doing the following:
a. Select File > Open Bin.
b. Use the Open Bin dialog box to locate the new bin.
c. Double-click the bin to open it within your project.
The new bin appears in the Bins list in the Project window.
The bins you import contain master clips only with no associated media files. Before you
can view or use these clips, you must batch capturing the source material to create the
associated media files. For information about batch capturing, see “Batch Capturing from
Logged Clips” on page 239.
