How to continue your project at home?

hi guys. I'm confuse on something.

I'm in college and we have a video lab with 15 avid computers. The thing is that I'm editing my video project over there but now I want to continue editing my project at home. So, I check my drive (because every student has a drive connected to a network, so it doesnt matter where I sit, I will always use the same drive) and I copy the only 3 folders on my external drive:

1 - OMFI folder
2 - A folder with the name of my project
3 - Unity Attic folder


I came home and copy those folders to my computer. I open Avid, load my sequence and as I suspect, all the footage and everything is offline. I check the Superbin and it says the media is in the drive "P" (which is the drive I have in my college)

I guess that my question is how can I make Avid detect the media files that is located in my computer drive (which is the "J")? I have never done this before, that's why I can't figure it out. I try Relink, consolidate, media tool, etc...but nothing seems to work.

thanks in advance.
 
it's been a long time since I had to manage my own media on a media composer (that's what our beloved ae's are for). but it used to be that you could trash the two directory files in the OMFI folder to force a rebuild.
 
Thanks guys, it worked. :):thumbup:

I put the folder that has the name of my project inside the OMFI MediaFiles folder, launched Avid and still all my media were offline. So, I delete the msmMMOB.mdb file then launched Avid (again) and it detected almost everything.

After Avid detected my media, i found another problem. In my project I have 3 video tracks and 6 audio tracks. I can play my project and all 6 audio tracks and the V2 (for B-roll) and V3 (for titles) works fine, but in my V1 track, only the first clip shows, but the rest of the clips (7 of them) in my V1 track are offline, but the audio for each clip works fine. I check my Superbin and those 7 clips are in my "J" drive.

Any idea of what could be the problem?

thanks again.
