Opening a GV STRATUS asset in Avid using the edit-in-place workflow

  • The GV AMA plug-ins must be correctly installed and configured.
  • The K2 storage volume must be mounted.
  1. To manually link to files, do the following:
    1. Open and select the bin in which you want the master clip or sequence to appear.
    2. Select FILE | AMA LINK, navigate to the filepath, and select the file or files for linking.
    3. Choose the type of linking:
      • XML files: Creates a master clip or sequence which references all the media files and metadata as described by the XML.
      • IDX files: Creates master clips with just one track. Timecode and data files are not supported.
      The linked files appear as master clips or sequences.
  2. To manually link to volumes (folders), do the following:
    1. Select FILE | LINK TO AMA VOLUMES and file type as below:
      • Summit Media Volume Plug-in (MVP) (Folder) for volume linking.
      • Summit (*.XML *.IDX) for link to media files.
    2. Navigate to the required folder, such as V:\media\default. A new bin is created and populated with all the assets found in the folder. The linked asset appears as master clips or sequences.
    3. To limit the number of assets in each folder, use Link to files and select only the files needed. When you link to volumes, only the content within a folder can be linked. All the assets within the selected folder are enumerated and linked. Master clips or sequences are created using all the media files and metadata as described by each of the assets XML found in the folder.
