Relatively newbie question! I'm attempting to import media to an existing Avid project with a few terabytes of already-imported material. Previous editors imported new footage to dated subfolders within "Avid MediaFiles/Media/MXF" so they wouldn't just get lost in generic numbered media folders. I was told I could similarly set a destination for the new footage I'm importing but I'm not seeing that option anywhere in the import dialog boxes or project settings. How do I set specific, folder-level location for importing media?

Thanks for your help!

Avid Media Composer 2022.7.0.56190.0

Mac Studio M1 Max

Mac OS 12.4

There really isn't a way to choose which subfolder the media gets transcoded into. 

I don't organise my Avid database at all. I use an app called MDV which can split out avid media files by project and organise them. 

If you need to do it this way, I would transcode to a different drive then copy the media files across on the OS level

You make sure the 1 folder is empty before importing.

You then importn and Avid will put into the 1 folder. Then rename that 1 folder.

Then repeat.

Thanks Pat, this sounds like a great solution!
