What gets saved during an autosave in Avid Media Composer?

In Avid Media Composer, the autosave feature is designed to help users recover their work by saving specific components of a project at regular intervals. When an autosave occurs, it primarily focuses on saving the current state of the bins, which are the containers for organizing media files, audio tracks, and sequences within the project. This ensures that all recent changes made to bins, such as the addition or modification of clips and sequences within those bins, are preserved automatically.

While autosave may seem to encompass other elements such as sequence edits or project settings, the critical function is that it specifically ensures the integrity and availability of the bins. This focused approach helps streamline the process of recovering work, as it allows for easy restoration of the user’s organizational structure within the project, facilitating efficient workflow management.
