Guide:<br />
• You can now reset your login count in <strong>EditShare</strong> Connect. See “Resetting<br />

• The Avid Launcher has several UI changes and now allows you to choose<br />

Avid Launcher.”<br />
Avid-Style Sharing<br />
While <strong>EditShare</strong> pioneered the first non-Avid system for sharing bins,<br />
sequences and media, we now offer a second way for collaborating with these<br />
assets. Called Avid-Style Sharing, the new system provides bin-locking and<br />
media sharing that works the same way it does with Avid's Unity storage.<br />
Each approach has its advantages. For example, the original <strong>EditShare</strong> way of<br />
sharing bins via User folders is probably much more secure for schools and big<br />
organizations where editors want some guarantee that their bins and sequences<br />
cannot be modified by others. Similarly, deleting files and rebuilding media<br />
databases is both safer and easier with <strong>EditShare</strong>'s Avid MXF spaces.<br />
However, for Avid editors who are accustomed to the way Unity works, now<br />
there is no need to learn a new way of doing things. With <strong>EditShare</strong>'s Avid-Style<br />
Sharing, you get both Avid-Style bin-locking and the Avid way of associating<br />
media files with the workstation that created them. In addition, with Avid-Style<br />
Spaces, you get a small performance boost on Windows workstations that can<br />
be important when ingesting or outputting sequences with six or more audio<br />
tracks.<br />
