NOTE WE RECOMMEND YOU USE CHROME FOR DOWNLOAD

Choose

The "DOWNLOAD ALL"

Google Drive will start to zip the media prior to download and then start download

The files will zip for a while and then you will be prompted to

Allow the download so click Allow

You may also get a "Leave Site" click on Leave

Download will begin and you will have 4 zipped folders download

When they are finished the progress circle will complete and there will be 4 zipped folders in your downloads folder and two .mxf files

Open the zipped folders

Now

There will be 4 folders and four zipped files and two .mxf files


You don't need the zipped files anymore you can trash them but wait till we're done setting up the AVID Project

Inside all the folders there will be an

AVID MediaFiles folder

and in one of the folders there will be the

AVID Project

Next need to copy the files from the expanded downloaded folders to your hard drive


First copy the AVID Project to your hard drive

You will then need to customize your AVID project to

Your NAME

See this wiki on how to do that.

Open the project folder and change the (RENAME) to your name see this wiki on how to rename your project

AVID - Renaming an AVID Project


To Rename you want to change the (Roldan) to your name from this:

To This

On your external hard drive look to see if you already have an AVID MediaFiles folder.


If you do then skip this part.


If you don't then on the "Root" level of the hard drive make a folder called AVID MediaFiles then inside that make a folder called MXF then inside the MXF folder make a folder called 3472


This is how it should look



Go to Downloads and open each expanded folder go to AVID MediaFiles>MXF>3472 and copy the files into the folder

There are also the two .mxf files that also have to be copied from your downloads folder to the

Hard Drive > AVID MediaFiles>MXF>3472 folder

This is how the MadMen Media should look on your hard drive

Then open Media Composer


and open the project.

At the Media Composer project screen choose the folder ICON to navigate to your project

Click on the project you want to open and choose open.

The project should open and all media is online




 
 
That is it your media should open in the project and you can edit.
