[Avid-L2] Re: Is there an elegant way to locate a pan and zoom still?

Wow that appeals to my inner geekdom and programmer wanna be side. When I have time I'll try that. So far the subsequence to laptop and have the effect ask for the still is the least non elegant solution. And I'm not gonna do no more sessions this weekend, except for the ones on Saturday and Sunday day and night. Man even my dog is asking for ID when I come home. Hope Rubin understands I'm doing it all for his treats. ;-)

To get back to my original request the pan and zoom effect definately knows to ask for the still by name when it is offline to the effect. How do I access that info when the still is still online so I can find out the source for the pan and zoom effect. Seems like the metadata is in the effect so why not let me see it? This is a bug/shortcoming of the Pan and Zoom effect, one of many unfortunately.
