Relinking to the master clips might have helped, but Job's trick with
duplicating the metadata from another column (in this case the RED-specific
"Filename") into Camroll worked perfectly.
And thanks for your willingness to dash off and code up a script :) Probably
wouldn't have been necessary I've got one somewhere (from the bad old days
of RED in Avid) and also I believe Resolve (or maybe Pablo) can conform from
the comments anyway :)
Cheers,
