relinking projects to different drives
We have 4 Avid drives split into 2 and 2 F and G. What we want to do is “clean” F, problem is there is a small project on it. Can we just move it to G or will Avid not relink the project files to G? Can a move like this even be accomplished?

You can move media using the “consolidate” function.

Actually…YES…just the move the contents of the OMFI folder on the drive you wish to clean…into the OMFI folder on the drive you will keep.
There are two files which are called msmFMID and msmMMOB…windows will ask you what you want to do with these. Just trash em. These two files keep track of everything in the OMFI folder in which they live. They are the “media databases”.
When you relaunch your Avid, these databases will be automatically rebuilt…and you media automatically relinked.
Not all NLEs work this way. Some require you actively hunt down and relink lost or moved files. This is one of the nice things about Avids.
