HI, sometimes Media Composers relink funktion does not what you want. The rock solid solution I figured out is to give your old and new clips exactly the same tapename. We do not use Tape names in our workflow at all but sometimes when Avid does not relink we change the workflow. AFAIK (Pleas correct...

Just upgraded from MC6 to 7. On a shoot this week using a RED Epic. Can someone please help me with the RED Workflow in MC7 Interplay. I heard tale of lots of improvements.

Just last weekend I participated in a 48 Hour Film Project contest. I edited the film over the course of a monsterous 27 hours straight. The scenes were filmed on a Canon 5d mark II and a Canon 7d mark II. This was the first time I've dealt with dSLR footage. Time management is of the upmost importance...
