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

Drag all the MXF files from the card to your numbered folder. Let Avid
index it. Drag the database file in that numbered folder to the
corresponding bin in Avid and it will populate it with master clips for all
the .mxf media in that folder. Repeat with the next card and a new
numbered folder and new bin. Rinse, repeat.
