Chapter 14. Media Management
One aspect of Avid Xpress Pro that you'll need to master is dealing with and managing the media that you use. If you don't take the time to learn how to move clips, recapture media, and delete files, your system will get bogged down with useless files and your only solution will be to continue buying external drives to store media onto. Thankfully, Avid Xpress Pro is packed full of tools and options that can make media management a breeze . First and foremost, it's best to learn these tools well before it's time to use them. Deleting, copying, and decomposing material are serious issues. You shouldn't wait until you're working on a massive project to learn how to use the Media tool, how to sift a bin, or how to modify a clip's track selection.
