Hiding Hard Drive

[Joe Womble]

Michael,

You can do this by going to Drive Filtering in the General Settings. It also exists on the Change Group window (on the target drive pulldown) in the Digitize Tool.

Set it at the beginning of your edit session and it should not change.

Cool beans. Does that need to be done each session, or just once?

[Joe Womble]

Should hold. I’ve heard of others who have found this defaulting back to where it was previously set, but I haven’t had this problem. Try setting it the way you want, save all and then close out Avid. Restart and see if it holds.

I use the filtering options and for some reason it always resets on a new project. Drives me nuts! Hope it works for you.

You can make the setting permanent for each project you create. Click on the settings Tab in the project window, and modify your Media Creation settings. Then in the upper left monitor choose Special->Site settings. This opens a floating window. Drag the Media Creation line to the Site settings window, and you will see it populate. Now, you have created a Site setting that will be observed whenever you create a new project. Old projects still need to be manipulated.

You can also “lock” a drive temporarily so that Avid can’t write to it by locking the Avid Media Files and OMFI folders on that drive.

Thank you James. 15 years and I never knew that!

James Beattie has built several systems for me over the years…they have always run flawlessly. James is a great source of information and hip to all things Avid.

Thanks, James!
