[Avid-L2] Re: Creating Folders for XDCAM HD

We use XDCAM HD all the time but because our projects always involve more than one XDCAM disk we avoid using AMA.
Our workflow is to rename the XDCAM disk (via Sony PDZ software) to the unique ID all our tapes and disks receive. Then we import each XDCAM disk into the Avid.
Composer maintains a rock solid link from your edited sequence to each of the sources. This is really a fast and no-brainer workflow. We have PDW-U1 drives connected to each of our editing suites.

If you decide to use AMA after all, the initial PDZ renaming is vital to maintain any readable way of retrieving the right XDCAM disk from your library in case of a re-import being necessary (ie to bring an old project online).
