I think the shooter is unaware of the issues that seem to plague ama workflows in general and in specific to nanoflash recordings. I think it's more likely he just has been unaware that issues exist that probably have nothing to do with his work but the nature of the beast. I haven't had to deal with nanoflash directly but I've certainly read of enough glitches that it must not be as robust or straight forward as it seems. I'd be curious to know if the cross pollination of media like I've read about in this thread is unique to nanoflash ama. AMA seems to have a certain iffyness to it no matter what. Look forward to seeing if the indexed AMA of MC 7 will solve these issues. So far no one has been able to tell me where the new media database for AMA MC7 is located. At NAB and the editors lounge the question was asked but no one had the answer where this new index file exists. It's got to be somewhere right?
