Selecting render drive
Every time I go to render something or make a speed effect, Avid defaults to my system drive…seeing as it is the one that has the most room. But I keep telling it “No doofus, I want the RENDER drive. See, the one named RENDER? Render there.” And it does….but it doesn’t remember this.
It’s been a while since I was on an Avid…is there a way to tell Avid, use that drive ALL THE TIME dummy?
Thank you.

Leave it to the assistant editor to know. THEY KNOW EVERYTHING! Or should. In this case, she did.
OK…Avid 3.0.5, FYI…in the MEDIA CREATION preference, you can tell Avid to filter out the system drive, and then in the RENDER tab of that preference you can set where the default render/effect creation drive is.
Thank goodness for assistants.

Now keep monitoring where your Avid writes your renders. In my experience, it does not always behave they way you set in the Media Creation settings.

Assistant editors are the BEST!
You try to teach them everything you know, then they turn the tables and show you something you never knew or would have thought about.
Gotta love them young kids!
Here’s a shout out to ASSISTANT EDITORS!

Number of issues here.
1: Avid will render where you tell it to in the “media creation” settting… unless you run out of space on that drive.
2: When it asks if you want to render to “effect source” drive (or something like that), it means the drive the original media is on that you are rendering from.
3: When it asks for a drive and you look at the available drive options in the window, the one in BOLD is not the drive that is selected, however it is the drive with the MOST space available at the time.

Really? I did not know that, I always assumed it was just the drive with the most space on at the start of a session.
Thanks, learn something knew…
