My Editor responds:
My response to his comments would be: Did anyone notice the word **BATCH** In the option to "Batch re-import…"? One of the main functions of doing a batch re-import should be avoiding the need to locate the media files individually. I understand (and in many cases agree with) the comments about "intentional pauses", but the checks on metadata should be automated in this case. Avid should be able to tell when there is a conflict with a different duration file, different color space import setting, different timecode, different frame rate, and other metadata. In Premiere and even OLD FCP 6, the "reconnect" function would see all of the media in the folder after you selected the first one, but an error would pop up for each file that had mismatching duration metadata:
This way, if you were reconnecting 300 clips and two of them had been altered in some way, you could reconnect 298 automatically and then manually take care of the two that had some sort of mismatching metadata. To be honest, in my opinion (and this might ruffle some feathers), this is a basic feature that should be working. If 10 year old versions of FCP can do it, the current Avid MC should be able to do it. I'm constantly trying to promote/push Avid when working with Premiere/FCP editors. On more than one occasion we've come across the need to batch re-import media in Avid, and my Premiere/FCP friends were floored that you had to click on each file to specify the new location.
Thanks!
