2. Select the virtual volume you want to remove.
3. Click OK.
The system removes the virtual volume from your system and clips linked to this virtual
volume appear offline. When you restart your Avid editing application, the system scans the
system for virtual volumes and the clips appear online.
Virtual Volumes and AMA Bins
If you select Volume Name in the AMA Bin Settings tab, the system names the bin the same
name as the virtual volume drive name. If you continue to use the same virtual volume to link
other media through AMA, the system continues to place the linked media in the same bin. If
you want to create a new bin for different types of media you link through AMA, you can either
create a new virtual volume drive for each type of media (XDCAM, XDCAM EX, P2, GFCAM,
etc.) or you can create a new bin every time you link to new media on a virtual volume.
To create a new bin on the same virtual volume:
1. Before you link your media through AMA, click the Settings tab in the Project window.
2. Double-click AMA.
3. Click the Bins tab.
4. Select “Create a new bin” and specify a new bin name.
5. Click OK.
6. Select File > AMA Link.
The media appears in the newly created bin. Repeat these steps for each type of media.
Deleting Clips
You can delete master clips, but you cannot delete media files that reside on drives. Your Avid
editing application treats files as read-only devices.
You can delete master clips and media files the same way you delete other master clips and
media files. However, you might not be able to delete files that you moved rather than copied. If
you cannot delete master clips and media files, first unlock the clips as described in the second
procedure, and then delete them.
To delete files from cards/volumes:
1. Quit your Avid editing application.
2. On the desktop, navigate to the drive.
