Re: [Avid-L2] Red AMA EDL data

I'm not at my Avid at the moment, but I seem to recall a column that retains that data.

Select a bin (make sure it's in Text View) then go to Bin Menu
Bin Menu > Headings (or Choose Columns, depending on your version of MC) >
Click the All / None button to select ALL.
See if there is any useful info in one of the columns.

HTH!
