We recorded 8 tracks of field produciton audio simultaneously. The recorder saved them as 8-track WAV files, and the recordist added metadata with descriptions for each track (boom, lav, etc...). When these files import to Avid (MC 6.0.3.3 on OSX), I can see that the metadata is imported. The bin shows custom columns for TRK1, TRK2, etc... and for my WAV file, I can see that these tracks are assigned boom, lav, etc.
However, I can't seem to get this metadata to show up on the timeline, where it would actually be helpful for editing. Is there any way to get the track names to show up on the timeline, or is there some other workaround I need to do to be able to see which mic each audio track contains?
In FCP 7, it's just changing some metadata in the Logging window, then it shows up on the timeline. I thought it would be just as easy in Avid.
Thanks in advance!
