Note: First ensure that you have a Frame.io Project mounted with Frame.io Drive.
Workflows
Open a new file from your mounted Project into Avid Media Composer.
Drag and drop any media file from the mounted Project to import into the timeline, or drag and drop your media directly from the Finder location into Avid. (Note: This requires no downloading onto your desktop as it's from the mounted Project based in cloud storage.)
Continue to edit on your timeline with the cloud-based media within Avid.
When exporting, you can render directly to your mounted Project which will upload automatically to Frame.io. The newly exported file will upload to Frame.io to that Project location. Make sure to monitor Upload Status in Frame.io Drive app to ensure file has completed it's uploaded.
Version Stacks
If the Avid project is being saved to the Mounted Project, each save will create a new version on Frame.io up to a max of 250 versions. Once max is reached, oldest versions will be moved to trash. Only the latest version is ever visible in Finder/File Explorer.
Bin Locking and Bin Refresh
You can work together in a shared Avid Project on Frame.io Drive with Mimiq by Hedge.
Mimiq tells Media Composer that Frame.io Drive is an Avid NEXIS Drive, which enables bin locking (red and green locks) and bin refresh (yellow and blue locks) so your team can work in the same Project on Frame.io Drive just as you would when working with standard storage.

Setting the Search Data Folder Location
Set Media Composer's Search Data Folder to Local Default or a local volume, not to a location on Frame.io Drive.
