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.

Ans: 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
Ans: 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.
