AAF creates media on multiple drives.
Hello.
I am having a problem exporting an AAF for a large sequence, I am selecting a specific drive I want the audio media to go to, but weirdly, it seems to create folders and media on almost any drive I have connected to my system, no matter which drive I select. This is making it confusing as I am not sure what media to give to the Audio Tech from what drive.
Anyone encounter this problem before?
Thanks
Conan

Are you sure the media and files that are being created are a RESULT of creating the AAF…or a result of the editing (pre-export) process?
As you probably know, Avid looks for available media drives on startup, and creates the Avid MediaFiles folders on those drives. If your Media Creation settings aren’t set properly, during the course of editing, Avid may be spraying your media (renders, imports, titles, etc)across multiple drives.
I would also re-examine the AAF export settings. Remember, there are multiple tabs in the export window; 1 for video, one for audio. You could possiblly be exporting an AAF that is *linking* to existing media rather that to a consolidated “new” folder of media.

Hi Michael.
Thank you for the reply. It was certainly though only the new media created with the AAF that went to multiple drives, even a clean USB that I had only just inserted. Very Strange, Oh well. I got out the AAF and its worked well for the Audio Tech, but what a bizzare thing to happen.
