[Avid-L2] Re: Importing an MXF Clip HELP

 

Question:

I am working on material from 18 camera cards, can I create a new numbered folder for each camera card and then a corresponding bin in Media Composer for each camera card?
Do I then move each ".mxf" file from the MXF folder on the card into the numbered folder?

Is there a way of doing an entire card at once?

Thanks in advance.
