Having grown up with Tape and Timecode being the reason Avid was bullet proof I never found the file side of Avid nearly as robust for relinking. In the traditional sense of capturing tape I had always thought it was the media database that made Avid solid. Is there an element of UMIDs happening under the hood with the media data base? Given when I add a tape name to something I break the ability to ama link back later where do UMIDs come into play in those situations?
I recall Scott F pointing to the source file name as something Avid was using to track various non tape based assets I never recall mention of UMIDs in those threads but perhaps I'm just not remembering.
AMA has been working well on my 4K workflows but they have been very straight forward projects with relatively limited source material. I am always waiting for the bombshell when I work with ama but that's based on past experience and not so much what I see now.
