[Avid-L2] Re: Clip Colors Reappear Quandry?

I actually am dealing with the color of the master clips changing. Many of the editors cut from sub clips that may be the source of the color reverting back to something. I think having both bins open including the sub clips might get everything in sync but it might be buried in the sequence metadata and if a mob updates or the sequence gets relinked by someone else that might also be the culprit. Not a big deal but in makes me scratch my head and wonder. I think it all might fall under the blanket of MOB conflict that Steve Bayes use to talk about. Of course he found the solution to MOB conflict, work for Apple and FCP. ;-)
