Re: [Avid-L2] Does dragging sequence from Interplay to Avid Bin copy it?

 

I've been on an Interplay Avid for 10 years now.  When dragging from Interplay into your bin, the links are still present to the original sequence.  If you change the sequence in any way and check it in, everyone else who uses that sequence will see your changes.  This is by design so that multiple editors can work on the same sequence and they will all see the same version once each editor right-clicks to 'Update from Interplay'.  If you want to make your own version of the sequence, after dragging the sequence into a bin from Interplay, duplicate it and make your revisions to the copy.  Once that copy is checked in, the original sequence will be as you left it and your version will also be in Interplay.  As far as I know, this is how Interplay was intended to be used.

I'm working on a job assembling multiple versions of sponsor idents. This involves dragging a sequence from the Interplay window into an Avid bin, editing/renaming it & checking it in.

The producers and I have noticed that sequences go missing in the Interplay and now we have proof why. If the Interplay search window is still open, you can see that the new sequence replaces the old! This is very shocking as I have always believed (and I work in a lot of different facilities) that when you drag a sequence from Interplay into an Avid bin it copies it, rather than remains exactly the same sequence.

Is this a setting? (to copy when dragging). Thanks.

(note: obviously the old sequence still exists in it's own Avid bin)
