Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Avid and P2

The first way, when they were on 2.7.7, they used the IMPORT P2
option. So they used the Avid to import the media. Last night we
used AMA and CONSOLIDATE. But the clip in question was done the old
way. It was there yesterday, now it isn't there.

Doesn't help that they footage is on two USB drives...
