Create offline using Media Manager?
Hello, I would think this would be a pretty straight forward process. I am trying to do an online from an offline project that was created from a DV clone of a Digibeta. The editor digitized in the whole DV tape and edited from that 2 hour clip. The cut is only like 2 minutes long. How do I create an offline properly so it doesn’t have to digitize in the whole 2 hour clip full res? I know it should be simple and I have tried it every which way in Media Manager but no matter what I do, it wants to digitize in the whole clip when all I want is the shots used with some handles.
Thanks,
Scott -

Select the sequence in the Browser. FILE>Media Manager. MEDIA drop down menu, choose CREATE OFFLINE. Then set the sequence to the settings you want to capture as. Delete unused media must be checked, use handles checked…base media on existing names.
The whole step-by-step is in the manual.

Yup, that is what I am doing… When I open up the new project, I see the new sequence and the new media folder but yet there is still the clip that is over 2 hrs in duration. I have also tried highlighting everything in the timeline and then doing a batch capture, still when the batch capture window opens the time capture is over 2 hrs. I have clicked on and off every different configuration possible when creating the offline in Media Manager… no matter what I do I still have that 2 hour clip to digitize. Just seems pointless when I only need a few minutes of footage. And just to let you know. The full digi is a final cut of a film and the sequence is a trailer that was cut… Oh yeah and I’m on the latest version of FCP…

First, I will have to admit that I have only done an offline cut with FCP once…and that was 3 years ago….different version.
Second…is that clip somehow used in a speed effect? For example time lapse of clouds or something? Or is that clips utilized for a lot of clips? Sometimes if clips in the timeline reference the same tape and they overlap or butt up against each other, then FCP will capture a larger clip that will feed all the smaller ones.
I dunno…speaking out of my butt here. Just thoughts.

Sorry, Shane, you’re skipping the all important first step: select all of the media in your timeline, right click and choose “Make clips independant”. Then the rest of the steps mentioned by Shane.
