Avid Naming

I did a major housekeeping of the Avid that is not on shared storage, and thus not on Interplay, so media deletion is a more manual affair.

As I was digging about the media folders looking for orphaned clips I was glad that Avid added less cryptic naming conventions to their software. I am old enough to remember the time when every file in the media folder would be named something like:

"172JJD88222JJSD9923ISKDKD992ID90SA00DKD"

At least now the files are named something like:

"ProjectName11289R89FJF9F9OFFK"

It's the little things.
