AVID - Renaming an AVID Project

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 3471

This is how it should look

Go to Downloads and open each expanded folder go to AVID MediaFiles>MXF>3471 and copy the files into the folder

This is how it 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
