As with the database files, these will be detected and rebuild on re-launch. Here are the directory paths as they appear on my platform: For the folder 'Avid Users', 'Avid Attic', 'settings' and 'Marquee titles' the path is C:program filesAvidAvid Media Composer Adrenaline(the specific folder). The three files to delete are: MC State, Site_Settings, Site_Attributes.
You will find those in the "settings" folder. If you're having problems with toolsets not behaving properly, you can delete and rebuild the site settings files. Even if you don't readily understand their function, DO NOT DELETE ANY OF THOSE FILES! This version is compatible with available Avid Interplay solutions, allowing it to interface with your.
The other files you make reference to are NOT useless files, they are preset export profiles, customizing files for the interface's appearance, and so on. Avid MC Pre Version 6.5 to MC 7 Interplay Edition Upgrade is an upgrade available to owners of Media Composer versions prior to 6.5 and is available via electronic download of the 64-bit non-linear editing system for Mac or Windows computers. Also remember the three ground rules about moving media and media folders:ġ) Never change the default factory name of the folders which are (without the quotes) "Avid MediaFiles" and (if you have OMF media) "OMFI MediaFiles" or the system will not be able to find the media.Ģ) Each media folder must reside at the root level of the media drive, or the system will not be able to find the media.ģ) There can only be one of each type of media folder on any given media drive. This will allow the system to update the database for the new locations of the files. On re-launch the system will detect the missing files and build new ones at the "Initializing Media Streams Manager" stage.
If you have OMF media, go into the OMFI MediaFiles folder and delete the same two files. Move your Avid MediaFiles folder back to the D: drive, go into each numerical folder inside the MXF folder inside the Avid MediaFiles folder, sort the contents by date bringing the most recent to the top, and delete the two files that identify by type as "MSM Media Database".
