Maintain folder structure of received files when importing to Media Composer?
Hi,
I’ve been away from Avid for a long time, but need to use it again for my current project and need to import a large folder tree of stills files.
As far as I can see there is no way of doing this without manually re-creating each folder/bin in Avid?
If anyone has a workaround, or if there is something i’m missing i’d be grateful…

In a similar situation, if I am not going to be using all of the material from the old project in the new project, I simply File>Open Bin and find the old project under Avid Projects, then open the bin that has the stills I want to use in the new project. I just leave the old project bin in the “Other Bins.” If I want to disconnect the old project bin, I Alt+Drag to make copies of Master Clips into a bin in the new project. Of course, this assumes your old project and media are on the same system as the new one.
Hope this helps.

When you link, there is an option to create a bin based on a folder. This will at least maintain a mimic of your folder structure within Media Composer.
