  Exporting Avid project from one computer to another

  Posted by Michael Deville on May 19, 2010 at 3:03 pm

  Hey everyone,
  I have a project on my old avid media composer that i need to move to my new Xpress pro. What are the step to do so? Does it matter that I am going from a IBM computer to Mac?
  Thanks for all you help

  If the project on your old Media Composer is called Project01, start a new project of the same type on your Xpress system called Project01.

  Shut down Avid.

  At the finder/desktop level, copy the bins from the Media Composer Project01 folder to the newly created Xpress Project01 folder.

  Open Avid. Select Project01, edit.

  Now if you need to move media too, there’s more steps involved. I’ll find a link that details that.
