Disappearing Folders?
I’m taking on an Avid Xpress 4.6.5 project that’s already been organized into folders and bins etc. All the data is on an external drive.
When I start a project, I like to copy the project I was given, drag it to my Users/Shared/XpressPro/Projects folder so that it appears in the open dialog when I open Avid.
But when I copy the project folder and open it, all the folders in the “BINS” tab of the project window have vanished and I’m left with a long, unstructured list of bins, inside one folder called “Other bins”
What am I doing wrong? Is it something to do with my settings?
How can I ensure that when I copy a project and open it – all the folders remain intact. THANKS

Hi.
Not sure if your switching Avid programs but if you are the solution I’ve found is to create a new project in your Avid. Give an identical name to the project being copied.Save. Open the old project and copy over only the bin files (.avb). Basically your transferring everything but the project settings.
By the way. A project doesn’t have to be in the Projects folder to open. So if you navigate to the original project and it still doesn’t open then you know its a compatibility issue.
Hope this helps.
