True or False: Dynamic Media Folders (DMF) works together with
Background Services; therefore, Avid Media Composer must be
running in order to use the Background Services feature.
,False
BACKGROUND:
Avid loves to give things fancy names and/or acronyms. One example
is a feature they named "Dynamic Media Folders" (DMF). Rather than
that fancy name, another term that is much more commonly used in
post production is "Watch Folder." Here's the overview of how a
DMF/Watch Folder works:
1. You create a folder and place it in a convenient location (e.g. the
Desktop).
2. Using Avid's DMF Window you will give Avid's Background
Services some instructions about what process(es) it should perform
whenever a file(s) are placed inside of that folder. That's where it gets
the name "Watch Folder" — it's watching for someone to put a file(s)
in there. The specific instructions we tell Avid's Background Services
to carry out when a file is placed in the DMF/"Watch Folder" are called
"Profiles." So, to say it like Avid would: "You apply a DMF "Profile" to
a folder.
QUESTION:
What selection below best describes a Dyn
A folder created by the User that has a set of processing instructions
applied to it (such as 'Copy'), so that when a file(s) is placed inside of
it, it will trigger Background Services to perform whatever the
instructions tell it to.
What is the official name that Avid has given to the instructions that
are applied to a Dynamic Media Folder (DMF) which tell Background
Services what it should do when someone puts a file inside the DMF?
— My analogy is that they are the instructions given to/applied to a
folder, while the book's author makes the analogy that they are a
Script.

BACKGROUND:
The picture, above, illustrates one of the two (2) places that various
windows can be opened that relate to using Dynamic Media Folders,
and Background Services. The three (3) windows available to be
opened are the "Background Queue" window; the Background
Services Dialog window; and the Dynamic Media Folders window.
Before you can actually use Background Services you must "Start"
them.
Clicking this Background Services icon will reveal a menu where you
can do things such as Start/Stop Background Services; or view the
"Background Queue;" or even Quit Background Services entirely, as
seen in the screen shot, below:
QUESTION:
Which of the icons below is the Background Services icon, that can
be accessed even when Media Composer is not running??—— Note:
on a Mac the icon will be in the menus across the top of the screen,
while on a PC it will be located in what they call the "Taskbar."
the dotted lined arrows going right symbol
BACKGROUND:
The Dynamic Media Folders window can be opened by Right-clicking
the circle-shaped icon, as shown in the picture, above.
QUESTION:
, What other method for opening the Dynamic Media Folder (DMF)
window is mentioned in the reading?
Composer menu > Dynamic Media Folders
File menu > Dynamic Media Folders
Clip menu > Dynamic Media Folders
File menu > Media > Dynamic Media Folders
Tools menu > Dynamic Media Folders
Windows menu > Dynamic Media Folders
Avid Link > Dynamic Media Folders
Tools menu > Dynamic Media Folders
BACKGROUND:
When creating a DMF you first create a folder that will be "watched"
by Background Services. After creating that folder, you have to give
Background Services its instructions about what you want it to do
when someone puts a file(s) in that folder. Avid refers to the saved set
of individual instructions you create as a "Profile."
In order to add the individual instructions that make up the Profile you
have to click the incredibly small button with a "+" symbol on it (see
yellow arrow in the picture).
QUESTION:
I keep referring to "individual instructions;" that make up the overall
"Profile," however, what is the actual term that Avid uses for these
"individual instructions?"
