[Avid-L2] Re: Convert DF to NDF TC on am imported clip????

Are the files the client originally imported still available? I assume the clips they converted are low res but that's just me guessing. Even if they are low res if you had access to them would it let you modify and get past the snag that says the media is offline? Just guessing. Of course the obvious question is how did they get them in with drop frame. Did they just import them into avid like any other qt import so they started with 1;00;00;00 time code or are the clips reflective of the time code on the original EX files? What codec did they convert the files to for offline ingest?
