Re: [Avid-L2] XDCam EX Workflow nightmare

From my experience, I'd say that most varieties of XDCAM work well with AMA even on a moderately specced computer. Keep everything organised by bins if you need to. You can do straightforward cuts without any transcoding, then mixdown amd export SAS. Let a dedicated compression program do the final work.
