Re: [Avid-L2] Re: .MTS require Clipwrap to get into Avid SNDX 6.5.2?

John,

Try this:

In Finder, right-click the AVCHD volume and Show Package Contents
Navigate to the folder you were previously able to AMA link
Go up one level so you can see this folder as an item in the Finder window
Go back to MC
Link to AMA Volume
Drag the folder from the Finder window into the Link to dialog box
It should navigate the Link to dialog to the folder you want and let you
link.

I'm pretty sure this is what I've done and it's worked.
