Re: [Avid-L2] Blow Up Effect

Job,

Thanks as always from you it's profoundly useful.

I've got to admit it's the only time I've ever seen the effect used, and the
editor is question is profoundly old school

It's my first job on MC5 and I inherited it on Monday, and was left
wondering whether it was some new effect that I'd never heard of!

Thanks.

Any more tips from any more people?

Aidan
