Options for Moving User Settings Files
You might want to move user settings information from one location to another on your system,
or from one system to another.
The easiest and most reliable way to do this is to take advantage of user profiles. When you
import a user profile, your Avid editing application finds all the necessary files and copies them
to the correct location. For more information about using and creating User Profiles, see
“Understanding User Profiles” on page 87.
Experienced Avid users, however, are accustomed to moving user settings around manually on
their systems. If you choose to take this approach, make sure you copy the entire user or user
profile folder, not just the individual settings files, and place the copied folder in your user folder.
