batch capture subclips in higher resolution
hi
after a unity crash and transfer to another one the master sequence which has already been color corrected and was completely online before now has a lot of clips in lower 15:1s resolution.
my question is how can i batch capture without having to import whole master clips (which would be 9 hours of material) and keeping the cc data? whenever i batch capture subclips new files are generated and the sequence still uses subclips with lower resolution.thanks in advance!

You could duplicate your sequence, consolidate it, then sort your consolidated bin by resolution and recapture only the 15:1s clips. When uprezzed they should be reflected in your consolidated sequence, which will still be linked to your consolidated high rez material.

If you’re on a Symphony and you’ve applied the color correction to the source clips–I have no idea. I’ve never used a Symphony so I don’t know how it works.
However, if you’re just using the built in Color Correction in Xpress Pro and Media Composer then no, you won’t lose the correction. The COlor Correction is actually an effect that’s applied to the clip when you open the COlor Correction toolset and you start adjusting things. If you delete the media the effect will stay but the clip will display Media Offline. Recapture the clip and it replaces the media in your timeline, which has the Color Correction applied to it.
Unless you remove all the color correction effects in your timeline, they will still be there when you recapture. If you’re really unsure just make a new bin and save every effect to it. You could label them according to shot number in the timeline–00001, 00002, 00003, etc….0758. Then reapply when you redigitize.

I’ve never worked on a Symphony so I don’t know how it handles color correction applied to source clips.
Let us know what you figure out and whether you lose your color corrections when you recapture following a decompose or consolidation (or however you end up doing it). I’m interested to know how it works.
