MEDIA FILES – Revealing Media Files And Bins At The Finder Level
Did you ever want to find a Media File in the Media Files folder (to save or to move it)? This used to be a real pain in the butt (remember that the media file names by default are those crazy long strings of characters), but now there is a feature called REVEAL FILE. Here's how it works:
A - Select the MASTER CLIP for which you want to see the media file (NOTE: this works ONLY one clip at a time)
B - Go to the FILE MENU
C - Select REVEAL FILE
D - After a moment the Media Files folder will open and the media files will be highlighted and ready for you to move or copy.
- UPDATE:
- You may now also select a bin in the Project Window, go to the File Menu and select Reveal File.
- You may also Right-Click on a bin in the Project Window and select Reveal File.

It will also allow you to duplicate, delete and move the media. Check the Avid Help menu and "The Avid Handbook" by Steve Bayes & Greg Staten for more information on using the Media Tool and the "Consolidate" function.
