Importing Audio in Subfolders to Avid
I need to link a lot of audio files with video on Avid Media Composer 5.5 for Mac.
The audio was recorded on a Roland R-44 and is made up of two .WAV files (one for each channel recorded) and each recording is in their own subfolder.
Because of this Avid won’t just import the entire folder system using standard “Import” and the link to AMA doesn’t work either.
Is there a faster way of importing all these files (and if possible keeping the subfolder system) into Avid other than doing them all individually?
Any help is much appreciated.

If there is timecode in those files, then I would not use AMA. Timecode from BWF files interpreted through QuickTime is not accurate.
That being said, there is no direct structure profile for audio or QuickTimes that is defined in the plug-in as do XDCAM, P@ and RED for example. For that reason, there is no subfolder support at this time.

First, read waht Michael Phillips said TWICE.
If you’re willing to forgo that….

Can’t keep the folder structure.
Can drag and drop from your native file system (just put a Finder window or windows 7 explorer window above media composer. Drag and drop import works just fine.
