Default Re: Field Recorder Workflow duplicating tracks

Unfortunately that won't help as the AVID media that is already in the session from the AAF will be matched and put on tracks again.

To avoid the mess some people manually remove the AVID media or take it online (by temporarily renaming the avid media folder) and then do the expand, clean up and bring the avid media back online for reference.
