  Reconnecting Issues with Batch list

  Posted by Smith Glover on February 12, 2011 at 8:24 pm

  Hello,

  I am working with a client who created a ton of sub-clips and sent me a batch list of them. He is using FCP 7.0.3 and I am using 6.0.6. When imported, all of the subclips show up with the same name in the browser window (not sure if this is standard as I haven’t used batch lists before).

  I am having two issues:

  – Since there are a ton of subclips, I am obviously hoping to reconnect all of them at once. However, when I go to reconnect, even though I highlight all the clips in the browser window and have checked off the “reconnect all files in similar path” box- it will only reconnect one sublicip at a time.

  – For some reason when the sublips do reconnect (one at a time) they are converted to 4:3 from anamorphic- so I have to go into Item Properties and manually check off the anamorphic box to make them normal.

  Obviously I can continue with the project, but it will take me a long time to reconnect each sublicip individually and then re-anamorphic (sorry for the made up word) each one manually. It’s going to take a long time.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Not sure about the anamorph issue, but can’t you select a bunch of clips and set the attribute on all?

  Or, if the metadata is in the batch list, use a text editor to alter the list.
