Moving projects & media between 5.2.2 and 4.3.1

[Michael Hancock]

Did you transfer your bins before you consolidated the media? If so, that could be your problem.

Do your consolidation and transfer the bins that have the newly consolidated timeline and clips over to your older Xpress. Create a new project by the exact same name as the old one and open the bins into there. You’ll probably run into problems trying to open actual Xpress 5.x projects on a 4.x system. Then hook up your external (can you edit off the external? DV25 footage, probably. 1:1–most likely not). Delete the database files in the OMFI MediaFiles on the external, and start the Avid. Does it rebuild the datebase files? If so, good. Try to relink. Also, be sure you don’t have “Filter drives based on Resolution” checked in your media creation settings checked. If it is checked it might be preventing that drive from being available.

Mike.
