Archiving 6K BRAW project
Is there a way to get the project manager to just take the bits of the clips actually used in the composition with handles? I don’t think it’s working like it should – maybe because of the BRAW?
At the moment project manager just copies entire clips from long interview takes across in their entirety.
I’ve set it for individual clips, and to exclude unused clips. I’ve messed around with a test project, and no matter what I try, the ‘Archive’ version of the project is actually bigger than the real project, so what’s the point? It matters not if the files are transcoded to DNxHD, Goprocineform, or H264.
Makes it kind of hard to archive a project. I think there are frame size limits to those file formats anyway – maybe that’s the issue – but then what do I do?
Only workaround I can think of is to Transcode all the BRAW files into another format then relink everything. But then whatever file format I transcode to has to have the bit depth and resolution of BRaw for all the FX and grading to work.
I’d be happy to archive the project with the reframing and scaling I did in post to be baked into 1080p files, but I can’t think how you do that.
Render and Replace gives bad results either way. If the original clip was ‘Scaled to frame size’, you’re losing resolution. If it was ‘set to frame size’ the clip gets replaced with a clip that respects the position, but ignores the scaling. So, if for example you’ve punched in from a mid to a closeup, the frame just shifts way down so there is a little head at the bottom and a huge black space above.
I’m scratchin’ my little head here.
Thanks, oh brainy ones, may your edit suites all come with minibars.

Thanks for the reply Antoine – I’ve got both, but I recently uninstalled the Autokroma plugin as a troubleshooting measure.
Cheers

Project manager doesn’t work very well. With hard drives and cloud storage being cheap you’d be better served just backing up the original media.
