Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FEATURE REQUEST: Drag and Drop Toggle

FCP allows you to change the filenames to match your re-named master clips
and vice versa.

command that did something like that IIRC. Can anyone confirm I'm
remembering FCP and not Avid?

involved from the start obviously I'd have set it up to better fit my
workflow, but I wasn't so this is what I have to deal with. That said, I'm
90% of the way there using AMA Volumes, I just wish Avid would recognize
more folder hierarchy than just one level, and I don't think that's an
unreasonable request.

see updated. I understand the benefit of having all the Avid assets in the
format and folder that Avid wants, but give us a little slack on
sub-folders inside there and more human-readable filenames...

Avid. I am working on a project that has 70 different travel locations,
broken out in folders by location and then folders for the types of shots
(events, interviews, food, etc). Right now I do a AMA Volume Link at the
location level, with the shot bins created by subfolders, then I create a
Folder with the trip name, then I drag all of the bins into that folder. It
doesn't sound hard, but multiply that by 70 and it gets annoying. That, and
because Avid can only recognize one level of subfolders, I can't do all of
the trips at once.
