AVID PROJECT 03 setup for "Portland" using MC 2019.6.0_for the Emerson VM 376_Class.
The recipe for making and setting up Project 03...plus an example overview on a project named "Sue." This uses a slightly older Avid Project Selection window from 2019, but the demo shows you how to set-up your Portland project.
The Media.
The Bins.
The Scripts.
Plus, info on using a string-out sequence.
Navigating to bins, projects and media locations.
01) Via AVID: Make a new Project.
Call it: PORTLAND_Avid_Project_your last name.
Project format/project type: 30i NTSC.
In this demo the project is created in the “Shared Avid Projects” folder on the computer's internal hard drive.
02) On your computer: add the Bins (the .avb files) into the newly created Project FOLDER.
At the computer/Finder level move the bin files, I sent, into the newly made project -folder.
03) On your external hard drive add the Media to your Avid MediaFiles/MFX folder.

Addendum: Regarding this 2020 Spring demo.
-The Avid “Select Project” window has been updated in the last version of Media Composer.
-Also the naming convention I am using has changed somewhat.
I’ve also upgraded the quality of the Portland media, so the 08 and 09 folders are bigger, by about 9 gig. Plus I’ve simplified the names if those two folders.
At the end of the demo there is also info on the script.

STRINGOUT FYI via MC 110 Book:
Industry terms vary depending on the specific segment of the industry in which you work. The term stringout is a common term in broadcast news and many types of TV production. It describes a series of selected shots laid out in a sequence. In film circles, this type of sequence is also referred to as a KEM reel, named after the flatbed film-editing machine. Typically, a KEM reel contains all related items-for example, all of Mary's close-ups in a scene or setup, all the wide shots from a scene or setup, all the inserts, and so on. Note that our use of the term stringout should not be confused with an assembly edit, which is the first, very rough construction of the scene according to the script. An assembly is often put together by the lead assistant to save time for the editor. However, in some circles, stringout and assembly edit may be used interchangeably.
