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. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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 - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
