Loading First Playblast into the Edit

For each new task type, Anim/Layout etc needs to be added manually, then it can update the shot afterwards

Returning to your edit .blend file, we can now load the playblast from the animation file into the edit.

2. Select the Metadata Strip associated with your shot
3. From the Sequencer Side Panel select Import 1 Shot Playblast
4. Select the Task Type you would like to load the playblast from and an empty channel
5. Your new playblast will be imported with the same timing as the corresponding metadata strip
