[Avid-L2] RE: Back on MC

Well, I already can see how my memory has slipped! Is there a good, concise, alphabetical list of keyboard shortcuts that is readily accessible? Thanks.

You can open the project from ANYWHERE, including the drive it sits on, without having to move it into the Shared>... folder. That's what the "new" External option is for, though you can simply point the Shared folder path to the external drive as well.

Hey all -

It's been a LONG time since I have had a gig on MC...mainly because all the MC houses in my region went to FCP and then to Premiere.

Anyway, a client is bringing over a drive with material and a project file for a gig started on Symphony (not sure what version). I have MC6.5.2. So, a couple of "old brain refresher questions" (not in front of the system right now):

Will there be a version/platform issue?

Avid projects live in the Avid Projects folder and I believe that is in the Library folder on my Mac (10.7.5), correct? So I can just copy his project file over and it will show up in Shared Projects?

As far as media goes, if I have to copy over his media how does on relink in MC? Will the system look for the media files on available drives on start up?

I did a really down and dirty audio cutdown of a 13 minute piece to 6 minutes on (yes, really) iMovie on my iPad in my hotel and on the plane yesterday. Exported as an m4v. I am assuming that transcoding to a ProRes file via MPEG Streamclip is needed so I can have this cut as a reference?

Thanks in advance. Actually really looking forward to getting back on the Media Composer and test my memory and muscle memory!
