Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Self Promotion and Yet Another Pitiful Plea to Avid

On some shows I've done in the past that are P&Z heavy I've also made a
point of dropping Video Mixdowns of the effect on a higher video layer -
just one more level of "safety" in the event I lose a link or need to
restore the project from a backup later. I don't think it ever actually
became an issue, but it seems like a good idea at the time :)
