Re: @Shawn Larkin

[Brendan Dillon] "I'd go for the flattened file (video mixdown in Avid) method too, with an EDL to split it up. As long as everything is on V1, the EDL will always slice the file frame accurately. I make a vision only CMX 3600 EDL and I've never had a problem with cuts in the wrong spot."

Again, at that point, we'll might as well go with Premiere Pro because it's much faster and supports many more native formats than anything else on the market. If the target is a flattened at the end, might as well use the tool that has the most flexibility on the front end, especially one that can read files with missing data.
