  • redigitizing skipped clips in a sequence

    Posted by John Rogers on February 5, 2010 at 1:17 am

    Please help me out of a bind, as I am in limbo between cuts. What is the proper procedure for redigitizing those clips in a long (hour) sequence that were skipped for various reasons during batch redigitization of the sequence to a higher resolution? I find myself with a sequence with mixed resolutions, and I need the system to go through and identify the 10:1 clips, prompt for a tape, redig the clips at 1:1, and drop them into place. When I try to batch redig the sequence again, thinking it would redig only the media at the lower resolution if the new digitize setting is 1:1, it just wants to redig everything.

    Sort your bin by resolution of the clips. Select the clips you want to redigitize. If you still have media with the clips, delete the media (just hit delete and UNCHECK master clips – you want to delete media ONLY). Also check your settings in digitize settings – make sure the ‘ignore compression settings’ is selected (I forget the exact wording, but it should be apparent when you see it..)

    It is always handy to go to a new drive when uprezzing. Usually vision only. If something does go wrong it is easy to unmount your offline drive. This will show all offline material, to pick up the batch.
    It’s handy also to keep your low res cut till final approval.

    You could Consolidate the High Res over in media tool and keep going…Good Luck

    Sort your bin by resolution of the clips (apple E). Select the clips you want to redigitize, delete the media (just hit delete and UNCHECK master clips – you want to delete media ONLY). Then re-dig at the desired resoloution.
