Re: [Avid-L2] XDCAM metadata

Perfect! That's exactly what I'm looking for. What's the process to create
the custom bin columns linked to the data? I'm familiar with creating
custom columns, but only for manually entering data. Also, if I directly
import the material (and not AMA), will the metadata still come through?
