    I have a personal project digged on my work drives…
    Everything was captured at DV 25 on an Avid Adrenaline.

    I want to be able to move it to a external Lacie brand drive
    and work on it at it on a home based system which I will be setting up…
    At home it will be Avid Xpress with Mojo.
    At home I will be on a Mac. At work, it is HP 8000.

    Anything I need to be aware? Will this work out?

    Thanks

    work is the curse of the drinking class.

    That’ll work just fine. Avid OMF’s are standard on any system. You can easily work from MAC to PC.

    I find better success when moving from machine to machine when copying the OMF media at the finder level… though on PC it’s not called finder but at the root level. If media is a many different drives this is more difficult but if not, just copy it all over to external drive and then add that to the OMFI media folder on the new machine (and bring the project too) rebuild the databases if you need to and you should be good to go. The other way of course would be to consolidate the media from within the Avid software…
