[Avid-L2] Re: Workflow help

I'd agree that the FCP to Avid issue is the key. Automatic duck may work here.
But I'd have to say it's far wiser to stick to the FCP if that's where all the media and logged clips and sequences are.
There's a growing trend to want to jump around on different systems and platforms for little gain than availability or a price point but the loss in metatdata and sometimes quality is very frustrating and ultimately more costly in the long run than things need to be.
