Re: [Avid-L2] ISO advise on migrating an old project

Your media should still work..just copy your Avid MediaFiles folders
across. You don't need the Meridien hardware. Avid currently reads
Meridien resolutions without it. OMFI media is still supported, it just
needs to be separate from the MXF media within the Avid MediaFiles folder.
You should probably rebuild your media databases, by trashing them prior to
startup. Avid will recreate them when it scans your connected drives on
launch. Make sure your bins have an avb extension or they may not be seen
within Avid.
