This tutorial explains how to use Media Creation settings to prevent offline media in Avid Media Composer. Avid Media Composer’s Media Creation settings allow you to set what drive and resolution media is created to.

TL;DR set this drive and resolution when you first open up a project so the next time you open the project none of your media is offline because it was created to the correct drive.

Music used in this video, “Back To My House” by PALA, was purchased and licensed through my friends at Soundstripe (affiliate link). For 10% off a subscription use the code EVF at checkout.
