[Avid-L2] Re: MXF folder structure (mac)

the folder MUST be correctly named for the system using it on unity, or for a LOCAL configuration in order for that system to be able to update or rebuild the media databases.

Create media on the volume, then place the files you can't see in that folder, and re-build the media databases- AFTER that point you can re-name these folders. But without a good database, you might as well have word documents in your media folders.
