Re: [Avid-L2] Red AMA EDL data

Job, 'love' is probably too strong a word, but I'm very appreciative of your
help on this :)

This is just the sort of lateral thinking I'd been lacking! It worked
perfectly. Initially it was slow going as each "roll" was in it's own bin
(over 120) but then I realised I could just use Media Tool to gather them up
and copy them all into their own bin, and applied the Filename into the
Camroll of all 2500ish clips in just seconds.
