Create a Copy Job using an EDL

[ToddL (Todd Litchfield)]

Is it possible to copy clips from the source folder to a destination folder using an EDL?

I think I’ve got it figured. We had Avid DNX36 Media with the same clip names located in one of the folders.
Once I removed that, it copied fine.

OK. This feature is still pretty new and not fully battle tested. If you identify particular issues and steps to reproduce them, please do open bugs here so we can hunt them down
