Re: [Avid-L2] AMA link to Canon C300 MXF

Thanks Mark. Alt dragging or going through the link menu give me the
same result which is, "Unable to link to any AMA clips..." I tried to
install the Canon Plugin but I get an error message saying that the
plugin is only for earlier versions of MC and is unnecessary. That's the
same as what the Avid website tells me. I can link to the individual
MXF files with no problem, which tells me that MC knows how to deal with
the files. I just haven't been able to get it to look through the
entire folder and grab them all. I appreciate your help. --J.B.
