  MC 7, switching over machines

  Posted by Richard Boghosian on February 3, 2014 at 10:18 pm

  Where would I find a tutorial on moving my user settings, project files and bins over to a new machine?

  Your project files reside on the following path:

  Documents>Avid Projects>YOUR PROJECT FILES

  Your settings reside on the following path:

  HARD DRIVE>USERS>SHARED>AvidMediaComposer>Avid Users>YOUR USER SETTINGS.

  Just put those in the exact same locations on the other machine.

  User settings are best done by using the export option under the settings tab in the MC project window. You then export to a USB stick, take to new machine and then under the same settings drop down import the user settings.

  Your projects could be stored in 3 possible places. You own home directory or the public documents or you may have selected external so it could be wherever you selected.

  You can search for the project name with .AVP on the end and find the project settings for it. Then copy the whole folder you find that in.
