  • Avid Automatically accessing files in a BPAV folder

    Posted by Peter Groom on March 15, 2012 at 10:13 am

    Ive noticed that now when i put a card in my slot with a bpav folder structure on it, avid is automatically accessing and importing the files into the project.

    is there a menus thats got changed. I think Id rather be specifically telling avid to perform functions, not automatically.

    Theyll be adding an “automatically edit, mix grade and make everything perfect” button next.

    Yes this auto mount feature is a real pain. Mount a USB stick with a load of media and Avid AMAs the lot. Mount a network share and the same happens.

    Unfortunately it’s all or nothing. If you turn of auto mounting all AMA. Functionality is turned off

    But AMA mounted clips aren’t imported. Only master clips are created no content is moved or created.
    So it’s not so bad. And if you need that AMA content it’s there. Except of course you plan was to move it to a sensible place first!

    HI
    yes i have disabled it.

    My solution will have to be leave it off, then when i want it turn on, ama mount, transcode the media and disable it again.
