Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid and P2

I know Terry, we don't use AMA and then just edit from the card dump
folders. Actually, we used AMA for the first time yesterday. Before
that, we were running Avid 2.7.7 and they imported the P2...meaning it
was consolidated from the folders and put in the Avid Media Files
folder. ALL of the media I am using is in the Avid Media Files
folders, in either 1 or 2 subfolder. The footage has been imported,
and the footage is on the Avid media drives. And the footage goes
missing.

Now, When I use the MEDIA TOOL, I can SEE the file I am missing, but
it is in Yellow, as if it were in the AMA window, but the duration is
8 hours, and the original file is only 40 min or so. And I hit REVEAL
FILE, and I see it. But I can't just import that MXF information into
Avid, not like FCP, drag and drop. The media is corrupt and needs to
be replaced...but FINDING that to reimport...that's the tough part.

Frankly, I'm amazed that the Avid media management for P2 is this poor.
