View Amount of Media Stored on Various Drives
Hi all,
I am looking for a way to view the amount of media stored on multiple media drives for a single project.
We use a shared storage server and a single project will sometimes have media stored across 1-3 media drives.
Is there a console command or built in tool to display something to the effect of:
Drive A: 1000 kb
Drive B: 2000 kb
Drive C: 3000 kbIs it also possible to do this with the media drives offline, from the project level only?
Thank you!

We just use Media Mover – best $150 ever spent. You can choose which drives to look at, or multiple drives. It will search out all media for all projects, tell you the total size of each project and allow you to move all media for a project to an “offline” folder.
You can then back-up individual projects to LTO (or whatever media you like), or just delete all the folder (and thus the media). All this can be done outside of the Avid so you’re not tying up the suite. However, now that I mention that…this will affect the Media Database, so I wouldn’t perform this function on another computer while an edit is in progress.

Hope this helps – or at least gives you something to consider.

How about Tools->Hardware? Is that what you’re looking for?
