What Is the File Extension Avb?

Avid Xpress is a software program that allows you to edit and create videos and films on a computer that uses Windows or Mac OS operating systems. Avid Xpress uses a number of files, including avb files.

Identification

A file with the avb file extension is known as an Avid bin file. The avb file extension serves as a marker, allowing your computer to locate the avb file when it is needed for Avid Xpress.

Function

As you create videos from clips on Avid Xpress, the program creates avb files that detail what clips you have selected for the video and in what order as well as where they are located.

Benefits

The avb file allows Avid Xpress to quickly locate the necessary clips for your video, even if the files that contain the clips are located in multiple locations on your hard drive.

Features

When you back up a movie using Avid Xpress onto a CD or DVD, you must save not only the avb files but also the media clips used in the file because the avb file does not contain the actual footage or video information.

Use

To load an avb file that you have backed up elsewhere, select "Import" from the "File" menu.
