  clip break downs

  Posted by Joe Huggins on July 30, 2007 at 9:43 pm

  Men,

  I’m digitizing an hour HD tape for color correctioin. I have the matching EDL. Is there a way to automatically have the hour-long file broken back into each cut as shown on the timeline for scene to scene correction? We hate to do each one manually.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks, Film Joe

  You have the Matching EDL of a one hour long clip? Or you have a matching EDL of an edited timeline and the original source tapes? Why can’t you capture the original source tapes?

  I do have the matching timeline of the original edit. I do not want to batch digitize (over 300 tapes) as effects have been added in Avid, etc. I only want to color correct from the edit master. But I need to breakdown the master hour tape into the cut points for color correct.

  How about importing the edl to make a sequence.

  Then capture the video that need color correction in one long quicktime file.

  Put that captured video on a video track about the edl’s video track. Use the edl as a guide to razor cut the captured video, after syncing it to the edl timeline properly. Then your captured video will be split into segments to match the original edit, but you won’t have to recapture.

  Steven,

  I’m not sure I totally understand. We will import the edl and lay that above the imported QT of the movie. When you say ‘razor cut’ is that an automated process/technique? I’m trying to avoid going to each cut manually to create the break, I know I can do that, I’m looking for a faster “auto-cut” or breakdown technique. What do you mean by ‘razor cut’? Joe

  Thanks, Film Joe
