deleting all affiliate clips tied to one master – How?

[Jerry Hofmann]

Export an EDL of a copy of the sequence after you’ve removed the HDV clips from it. This will end up with a list that contains the TC of only the HDCAM footage.

i think they want a quick way to first delete all the HDV footage.

it would be great if you could do an intelligent timeline search, looking for just one flavour of footage,
or, as this is all in DV res, all clips of a certain reel#.
but you can’t
so here’s what i’d do:

copy the sequence, place it in a new project
tools menu: create master clips
figure out some way to separate the HDV from the HDCam shots in the browser.
gotta be reel# i guess, as everything is still DV.
select all the HDV shots in the browser, and make offline.
timeline HDV clips also go offline.

now do a Media Manage on the sequence
chose RECOMPRESS, and choose an HD flavour
tick Delete unused,
and there;s your media usage.

if you dont have any HD option in hte recompress list you may need to download some drivers & codecs from blackmagic or kona.
otherwise do a Media Manage without recomporessing, and do the maths youself.

seriously. given the time spent figuring this out, and up-resing the HDV,
would you just as well off to capture everything, HDV included, at the facility?

Can’t the browser finder search by specific columns? Isn’t there something like the codec that distinguishes the HDV material that you could search for all items?

yes, but the thing is that at then moment, all the media is DV, as they’re cutting off-line.

even if they had the HDV & the HDCAM in the timeline, it wouldnt be too easy to figure in the browser:

you;d have to make a new bin,
copy or drag all your timeline clips to there (so you had them with in/outs)
sort by type, delete all your transitions generators, graphics, etc.
then sort by codec.
and even then you wouldnt have any handles on the clips that had transition on them.

(although now i read your post again, i don’t think this is what you’re suggesting… still… it;s all DV)

cheers,

That’ll teach me to read the whole thread first. You’re quite right, there really is no simple way to do what the writer wants.

In the browser, you can use “Find” to search for all clips from a particular reel name that’s used in a specific sequence.

In your timeline, you can use “Find” to search for all clips that have the same name.

Of course, you would have to have logged the footage with proper reel names & not renamed the affiliate clips in the sequence for this to work.

yes, and had something very identifiable in that reel name – not us the letter “a” for instance.
like (HDV) or ^ or something.

and as you point out, every time you make a subclip, you;d have to remember to include the reel# in the name.

roll on intelligent timeline search!

I think the last post nailed it on the head. Probably didn’t work the first time I tried it, because I didn’t have the sequence hilighted in the bin when I tried the Find funcion.

I had the clips labeled according to its acquired format, so I’m able to extract only what I want.

Thanks!!!
