Re: [Avid-L2] P2 Media File Names Bin Column

 

Not sure what version you are on, but AFAIK, you can change the clip
names in the Avid and it will not destroy the AMA relationship.
There is a column (Source File ) that indicates the the original file.
In version 5.5 there is also an additional bin heading called Source
Path the indicates the exact AMA file directory.
