Re: [Avid-L2] AMA frustation

 

Curtis,

I don't know all the intricacies of AMA on shared storage, but the AMA
logs contain drive paths, and when the path changes, or the point of
view changes (as in the case of the 2nd machine opening AMA project for
the first time) then offllne clips and relinking should be expected. At
least, the first time,..
