Automated edit detection in AE !!!

[Joe Moya]

Good scripts (what few I was able to see)… but, this sites needs some serious help with his server and/or site provider/developer… it took me over half an hour to just see a page change of the site.

Based on 3 of the scripts I tried to evaluate… it took about 1.5+ hrs. At that rate, if someone wants to evaluate the various scripts… it would take a whole day or two.

I wonder if this is because of IE7’s phishing filter or his server is just WAAAAAAAY too slow?

Huh? No problems viewing/browsing or downloading aescripts.com on my end.

hmmm… interesting… I went back to the site and it seems to be working normal now…

… must have been something wrong at the time I had accessed the site….

[Joe Moya]

Nope… just went back to the site again… and it has the problem it had earlier… waaaay slow moving from page to page.

There is something wrong with the site…

Perhaps new for AE, but for Avid and FCP there is already a nice solution.
(Handy if you have to do CC’ing on a finished master without and EDL handy…)
By Automatic Duck to AE was already an option.
Dunno how fast this script is, my app. is app. 4x faster than RT… (depending on input, settings, cpu, drive speed etc.)

I know it’s not a novel idea, it’s been around in many packages. There are also ways to import projects into AE through xml. But when I receive an edited project for color grading I prefer getting a rendered output than a collection of various materials in a timeline. Less ways for things to get screwn up.

Barend,
Don’t get it. Are you suggesting you use AE for color grading?

Absolutely.

Huh?
Granted, AE has some nice feature set, but to CC an entire movie, being able to have RT playback to see noise, instant feedback on a client monitor and hardware scopes/waveform, i couldn’t live without. Outputting to tape without render is of course also a huge timesaver. (I CC on a MC…)
Besides, an average 20 min. show over here has about 200 shots.
having an 200 layer AE composition, combined with travelling mattes/wipes etc. for partial correction seems a bit impractical. How do you set up such a project?

Check out The DV Rebels Guide by Stu Maschwitz (https://rebelsguide.com/forum/). His blog (esp. his early posts) is worth looking at too (prolost.blogspot.com) In the book he details a FCP/PP to AE workflow for post production.
