NOTE: The target drive will default to your computer's hard drive. It is VERY IMPORTANT to switch this to your hard drive, ensuring all of your media is there.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: When converting this footage, Avid will create a folder called Avid MediaFiles at the root level of your hard drive. DO NOT (under any circumstances) move or rename this folder. This is where all of your converted video files will live. If you do anything to this folder all of your footage will unlink and you'll have a bad time.Finally, select all of your footage and then click OPEN. Avid will convert all of your footage to a constant frame rate of 23.976 and bring it directly into your project.
