[Avid-L2] Re: HDSLR workflow

I see.

So, speaking only of a MC-based workflow ...

Minus the file renaming process (which is NOT done in QtChange -- but, rather, is executed using a batch application like Rname) ...

...It would seem the most compelling reason to use QtChange in the process -- is to make timeline dupe detection possible.

And if timeline dupe detection, for whatever reason, was largely not necessary -- than the original DSLR file name would probably offer equal utility in terms of EDL creation.

Would you agree?

Thanks.
