Hey everyone,
Just started post on a film using the HVX and Firestore. I'm editing on a Windows Avid machine and was wondering something.
Do people generally keep a backup of their original P2 files or is it smarter to make a backup of the consolidated clips within the AvidMedia Files Folder?
I would think It'd be easier to restore your project in case of a HD failure, by just copying the files back to the MXF/1 folder and let Avid rebuild the database, than to do the whole "Import P2/Import Media" method. But no one seems to do this (backup mxf folder), so what am I missing?
Will Avid re-link all the media if you have to re-import and re-consolidate all your original P2 media? I'm just so used to re-batch capturing any lost media, that I'm not sure which of the two options is better.
Thanks,
ADam
