Re: [Avid-L2] Finding Still Image in Pan and Zoom Effect?

If I'm remembering correctly...
Avid's Pan and & Zoom plug-in does _not_ indicate the image to which
it is pointing/connected to in any way.
Avid's suggested workflow is to first import the file and cut that
clip into the timeline so that the name of the still will appear
rather than just using the plug-in on Filler. If you'd rather not do
that, then the only other solution I can think of is a locator which
includes the name of the still.

HTH... at least for the future, anyway...
