Organizing captured footage
When you capture footage in PPro you would usually name your tape, clip add some details etc. I was wondering if it was possible to do all this (plus cutting clips) after actually capturing everything. Essentially using your HD the way you normally use a deck/camera and a tape.
The workflow I am trying to achieve would be as follows:
1.Capture your entire tape onto your HD
2.Review your tape while cutting it into named clips that go into your bin (basically chopping and renaming the original file containing the video that was on the tape or Re-capturing your tape from the HD instead of the tape)The advantages of this would be:
1. Much faster and more responsive scrubbing, Fforwarding, Rewinding etc.
2. If for some reason you only had the tape for an hour or two, you could capture the whole tape and not have to spend hours (which you dont have) logging everything correctly while in possession of the tape itself.Is this possible? Is it easy to do? If its not how can a feature like this not be?
Forgive me if i’ve been slightly redundant but I’m trying to be clear ^.^
Thank you!

Take a look at a demo of the latest version of ScenalyzerLive. It may do what you need and more.

Theoretically, this can be done exactly the way you describe, and then you use the project manager to trim the project, thereby creating true subclips using the new names. I have had troubles with this because the project manager recognizes that the clips are contiguous. But give it a try – the Project Manager is only in Premiere Pro version 1.5 and higher.

Part of the solution for you may lie in ‘Scene Detect’ which captures the whole tape and breaks it up into clips for your project bin. Each clip is recognised and separated in the capture by the start /stops on your camera.
Scenalyser does this (as does PremPro Capture).

that’s what I swear by.
I use it to load everything up, and then rename files to what’s inside of them. All before even opening Premiere (I have 6.0)
Makes editing much easier for me.
