  logging: can you input numbers from a paper edit

  Posted by Bob Cole on January 17, 2007 at 12:21 am

  Call me crazy, but I don’t see how you’re supposed to enter a “paper edit” list of timecode numbers for batch capture. Does batch capturing really require you to scrub through the tape, hit the I and O keys, etc.? Or is there a way to input a paper edit list, type it up, and let FCP do its thing?

  Sorry if this has been covered — I did a search and maybe I am just not using the correct terminology.

  If you have the paper edit done in a spread sheet with the right column format you can import it as a batch list. Otherwise you can input TC numbers into the log and capture window and save the clip as an offline logged item.

  All the best,

  Larry Jordan has an Excel logging sheet that I have used with success in the past:
