Re: [Avid-L2] Re: AMA behavior

I've had issues with Nanoflash MOVs getting mixed up. AMA files into an MC
project, transcode, then send to Avid DS. Edit project and send for
approval - project remains on the system.

Now I get a batch of footage for a new project, also Nanoflash. AMA into
MC, transcode, send to DS. Work on new project. Hey we have changes on the
first project. Open it up, and some of the clips in project 1 now carry
video from project 2. Problem is solved by moving project 2's footage out
of the indexed path.

Nanoflash clip names in the two projects are unrelated. Timecode may be
similar, though. It's just weird.

This shooter never gets negative comments on his Nano footage for other
clients, so I assumed it was something on my end. Now it looks like it's a
Nanoflash/AMA issue.
