SO WHAT’S THE BIG DIFFERENCE?

Avid editors have in the past been able to let the Editing System manage all their media

for them. When they captured Video, it was stored in a particular folder on the drive

with a cryptic name. This allowed the editing system to identify and manage all the

media. Automatically. You could move, copy and restore media with the confidence

that the editing system would identify it and make it available for your editing session.

AMA is quite different. Each file retains its own human readable name. Each file is

linked to by its location and this name. An Editor can manually manage this media,

keeping it organized in different folders accessible to the editing system. Media from

one project can be kept separate from another.

There is a but however. There can be more labour needed to manage the AMA media

than the traditional ingested Avid media. If you move or rename an AMA file the link to

that file is lost and you will need to re-establish it. You cannot have two files with the

same name. If you restore multiple folders of media from a backup you may need to

manually relink to this media. If you move files from one drive to another you will

definitely need to manually relink to them.

This is not unusual. This is the world of Media Management experienced by editors on

many other systems like Final Cut Pro and Premiere. While they allow you to work by

linking to original media, they cannot track it and manage it with nearly the enthusiasm

that an Avid does with its own ingested media. For this reason, certain jobs may

benefit from consolidate/transcode to Avid Media.

This guide will provide you with information and details to help you with your

workflows, which may vary depending on the job.
