Re: [Avid-L2] AMA Media Database folder on a PC?

 

Worth noting that turning off AMA Management only turns it off temporarily, and it eventually turns back on (and subsequently corrupts itself again). I keep that folder path handy in my shortcuts and just click and delete, often.

Not able to confirm the PC file path, but I trashed them on Mac and had no problems linking.


In fact, it's possible to turn off managed AMA completely, reverting to pre MC 7 style management, using the console.  It's been stated by Avid that managed AMA provides little benefit except in certain workflows that involve Interplay, and may improve performance to disable it.

Hi Gang,

I'm hoping to obtain the file path on a PC 
to the AMA Databases, which Avid places inside a folder named "AMA Metadata Folders."
Based on the Mac path (below), I could make an educated guess, but if anyone can verify
the path on a PC, that would be über helpful!

The file path on a Mac is:

Users >
Shared >
AvidMediaComposer >
AMA Management >
AMA Metadata Folders.


And on a related note:
Has anyone trashed these and had success with relinking AMA media?
Do they rebuild like we're used to in the Avid MediaFiles folder (I'm asking before I try it)?


Thanks in advance L2ers,

B
