Avid Guide for AMA Workﬂow

QuickTime

Automatic movie updates

AMA will always link to a movie with the same characteristics. In other words, if you replace an existing movie

ﬁle with one of the same name, track count, and duration, any sequences that refer to the original will be

updated with the content from the new movie. This is a powerful tool that enables you to update graphics and

animations that are going through iterations as editing continues.

For example, you may want to update a motion graphics piece created in After Effects periodically during the

edit. By placing the new render in the same location (with the same ﬁle name), the timeline will automatically

update to include the new content, without requiring you to take any additional steps.

If a sequence/clip with the related clip is already open in the Source monitor, select “Clear Monitor” and reload

the sequence to update the movie.

What happens if…?

What happens if… I rename the clip in the bin?

There is no problem with renaming a QuickTime AMA clip once it is in your bin. Feel free to rename your clips

as you wish to keep them identiﬁed. The original name is still visible in the SOURCE FILE column, and the

QuickTime ﬁle’s original location is listed in the SOURCE PATH column.

What happens if… I rename the QuickTime movie I am linked to?

The connection between your AMA clip and the actual QuickTime ﬁle is by the name of the QuickTime ﬁle

(as well as its location). This means if you rename a linked QuickTime ﬁle it will go ofﬂine. If you do this by

accident, the following three methods will restore the connection:

• Change the name back and your clip should relink automatically; if not, close and reopen the bin and the link

should be reestablished

• To use the QuickTime movie with this new name, select the clip in your bin, right-click on the clip, and from

the context menu choose RELINK TO AMA FILE(S)… ; then navigate to the renamed QuickTime ﬁle and

select it

• Create a new, separate clip using the renamed version—choose FILE > LINK TO AMA FILE(S)…; the

original clip will remain ofﬂine, as will any shots in the sequence that come from the original clip
