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

The effects report *should* cough up the info but clearly doesn't. How
about temporarily taking all storage offline and seeing where it
points you? How is that for inelegant (I'm mostly looking for elegant
solutions this week).

Okay finally got a chance to try the summary source report and with no
slug underneath the Pan and Zoom the summary shows no imported
sources. 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.

other way that offline editors screw you is they import a still, then
change their mind and link Pan and Zoom to a different still without
reimporting that still.
