Opening a GV STRATUS asset in Avid using the transfer workflow

  • The MEWS system must be installed and operational.
  • The MEWS system must be configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel Engines settings.
  • A Send Destination for each Avid Media Composer® workstation must be configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel.
  • An import rule for each Avid Media Composer® workstation must be configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel.
  • The GV STRATUS application and the Avid Media Composer® application must be running on the same client PC.
  1. Select one or more clips or subclips in a GV STRATUS Asset List, right-click, select Send to Avid, and select the location for the Avid application running on the local PC from one of the following:
    • Avid ISIS
    • Avid MC
    • Avid Interplay

    You can see the progress of the asset transfer to the local PC.



    For assets sent to Avid Media Composer or ISIS (without Interplay), a Drag me button appears.

    For assets sent to Avid Interplay, there is no Drag me button display, as the assets are automatically transferred into the Interplay system.

  2. When progress reports 100%, select the Drag me icon in the Sending to Avid dialog box.

  3. Drag and drop the icon to the Media Bin in the Avid application.

    The asset is available in the Avid Bin for editing in the Avid application.

  4. For assets sent to Avid Interplay, navigate through to the relevant folder and open the assets in the Media Composer using the Interplay Window.

    Assets checked-in to Interplay will additionally check their GV STRATUS metadata as pre-configured in the GV STRATUS Control Panel.
