What is the modifier key for dragging AMA footage into the bin?

The correct answer is the Alt + drag combination. When working with AMA (Avid Media Access) footage in Avid Media Composer, holding down the Alt key while dragging the footage into the bin allows you to import the media properly while maintaining the link to the original source files. This method ensures that the media is not copied into the project but instead creates a reference to the original files, which is important for maintaining workflow efficiency and storage management. The ability to reference rather than duplicate is a key feature of AMA, as it helps editors work with high-resolution footage without filling up storage space with unnecessary copies.
