This is suitable for AMA-linked files, or if you want to play the original media file rather than the Avid MXF version. When you import an ALE file CatDV will automatically do a quick import of the corresponding media file and create thumbnails from it, if that file is available online.


Only those columns which are shown in your current view are exported so it's a good idea to create a special bin view in Avid that includes all the available columns for export.
