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

That's what I have been doing on my laptop. I wanted to know if there was a better/elegant way to find the still source without having to take things offline. Fortunately my laptop is an easy workaround. I think the current real solution is take the offliners involved out to a field in the desert. ;-)
