Analyzing Media Files

Once you've clicked the Analyze Media Files button, MediaMover begins examining every media file it finds in the media folders you've selected and building a list of the projects that are associated with them. The Project list that is displayed in the Online Media tab contains useful information about the media files stored on your system, including the number of media files associated with each project and the total amount of disk space each project's media occupies.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Avid software does not always embed the project name in all media files. In some cases media files, such as imported files, do not have the project name written in them. MediaMover will always group these files under the name "No Project Name" in the Project list. They can still be moved or backed up like any other media file, but care should be taken to be sure they are kept with the proper project.
