- Main Trick:
- Set your Media Creation settings to filter out the system drive
- then open your Site Settings box (under the Special menu)
- drag the Media Creation setting from your Project window to the Site Setting box.
- All new projects should now respect your Media Creation settings (although old ones won’t – this will only affect all new projects you create).
- Safety Net:
- … create the folder AvidMediaFiles on your [C:] drive and then create a text file called MXF (take the txt extention off of it) inside the AvidMediaFiles folder. Then if you try to digitize or import to that drive you get an error, because it wants to creat an MXF folder but can’t. …useful in helping editors remember where to digitize, and to always check their settings.

- Under the drive Filtering and Indexing tab make sure all 3 boxes are ticked.
- This will prevent media being imported, captured or rendered to any drives that cant handle the selected resolution (Filter Network Drives Based on Resolution). And filter out the System & Launch drives (these are the drives where Avid and your OS are installed usually the same).
- Under Media Creation you can also specify which drives different types of media are stored on. So for example, you might have a Unity Partition that is just for Renders etc.

- How to separate media by project
- The [1] folder under [MXF] can be called anything, e.g. a Project name, and reserved for media associated only with that project. Once renamed, if Avid needs to import anything else, it will create a fresh [1]-folder.
