Introduction
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to integrate and use Moments Lab within Avid. This integration enables you to search and import content directly from your Moments Lab hosted media library without leaving the Avid interface.
Installing the plug-in
Download the Plugin: Visit this page and click the link for your operating system (macOS or Microsoft Windows).
Install the Plugin: Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the plugin.
Activate the Plugin:
macOS: Open Avid, go to the Extensions menu, and select the Moments Lab plugin. The panel will open, and you can position it as you prefer.
Microsoft Windows: go to Tools, and select the Moments Lab plugin. The panel will open, and you can position it as you prefer.
Getting started
Login: Enter your usual Moments Lab login credentials.
Choose Geographical Region. This is the region where your Moments Lab workspace is deployed. If you are unaware of your region, you can contact our support team to help you find out.
Select Workspace: If you have access to multiple workspaces, select the one you wish to connect to. You can change your workspace anytime in the panel settings.
Configuring access to your media
Choosing a Project Path
When you open the plugin, you will be prompted to select a project path. For "Bring Your Own Storage" customers with a direct connection to on-premise storage, this allows you to access your media directly, eliminating the need to wait for high-resolution files to download. If you are accessing content stored in the cloud, you still need to choose a project path, which should be set to your local library. You can always change your project path later in the plugin settings.
Enabling proxy workflows
If you're working with high-res assets stored in the cloud via Moments Lab, you can enable the proxy workflows. Proxies are lower-resolution copies of your footage, making them much easier to work with, resulting in smoother editing and faster response times.
