Re: [Avid-L2] MC4 - Wrong, Disappearing KN values

Thanks Job,

Exporting ALE is an excellent idea. This struck me after re-entering KN
values to all the 22x7 tapes for more than 8 times over the past 2 months.

now what i did was make a copy of the entire rushes in a separate bin. made
sure the KN values were correct and exported the ALE. this means all i have
to export is a single ALE file and if there is a missing KNs in any of the
other bins, i simply open this consolidated bin and import the ALE back in
and this sets the KN values in the other bins right too. then i select all
the duplicates and delete the master clip only.

so.. there we are with yet another workaround.

Regards,
Vishal Alex
