Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Quicktime Alpha and AMA

I concur with Terry on this - I very often Batch Import Quicktime files with
alpha and have never had that problem (aside from the odd occasion when the
graphics guys supply a revised graphic with no alpha). I can remember doing
this at least back in the v1.x series of MC Adrenaline.
