Archival footage list for big documentary
I need to compile a list of all archival materials in a 4+ hour documentary project with probably around a 1000 unique pieces of archival media (footage, stills, music).
I need to have clip name, starting TC in sequence, ending TC in sequence, duration of clip.
Does anyone know of a way to generate a list out of FCP that I could import into Excel?
Thanks in advance for saving me hours and hours of tedious work,
Scott

is this from a timeline or just from your browser?

Jeremy, It is from a sequence.

What I would try then is to select all in your sequence and then drag those clips to a new bin. You will have to do some manual deleting and sorting of items you don’t need, but it should work. Once you get it to where you want it, then Export > batch list and open that in Excel.
You can also check out Final Print which will give a printable list, but I don’t think there’s Excel support.

That works. That won’t get you the timecode for where in the sequence it falls. This is what an EDL is for. I’d put all the archival footage on one video layer, or two if you layer your footage, then export an EDL of ONLY that video layer. That is what I do for my Clip Clearance people.

David Heidelberger sent me off list an absolutely fantastic program called XML Analyzer which has worked out beyond my wildest expectations! Fantastic and has saved me hours of tedious work.
Thanks David!!!
