[Avid-L2] Re: Speaking of AMA...

I've always understood and assumed that you'd use AMA to access your rushes quickly and make selects from. These selects you'd then consolidate to Avid media on local drives.
The main strength of Medic Composer is it's media management and for me AMA blows a hole in this. the "threat" that even QT could be accessed in this way opens the door to media management more like FCP.
No AMA is a neat solution to accessing media quickly to make selects but then I'd want to get back to a position Avid is strong in by converting to proper Avid media.
