(Solved... I think) -- Re: [Avid-L2] Please Help confirm: Avid MediaFiles folder on Windows 10 Internal Drive

Thanks J.B.

After my initial post I went back to see if I could improve my Google-Fu,

and I did finally find this: https://burgercamera.com/avid-media-composer-2020-4-update/

Media Composer v2020.4 Update New Features

Avid MediaFiles Folder Location

• (Windows) drive:\Users\Public\Documents\Avid Media Composer
• (macOS) /Users/Shared/AvidMediaComposer

I think this is now an _additional_ location on the internal _system_ drive for the Avid MediaFiles folder.  I was aware that there had been this change/addition on a Mac in order to contend with Catalina, but I was not aware of the change on the PC side (since I work 99% on Mac). So, I was a bit thrown.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Benjamin

There are two.  The one where your media goes is always at the root
level of the drive.  The other is in users\public... It contains files

Please Help confirm:
Location of Avid MediaFiles folder on Windows 10 Internal Drive


Hi gang!

Mac user here, and I'm getting conflicting information about the proper
location on the INTERNAL HD of a Windows 10 system for the Avid
MediaFiles folder.

I would have thought it was at the root level of the c\ drive, but I'm
also getting
word that it is supposed to go in this path:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Avid Media Composer\Avid MediaFiles

So, any experts out there able to chime in with the definitive answer?

I appreciate the help!
We're just about to create a Deep Freeze image that will be deployed
to about 50 systems . . .
so I'd hate to screw it up! ;)

Thanks again!

-B
