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. -CORRECTANSWER 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 -CORRECTANSWER 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:
