digital rebellion details on the new xml format

We’ve got a tool called Quick Bins in our Pro Media Tools package. It’s not exactly the same as keyword collections but it’s a similar concept and it’ll work with FCP 7 and Premiere.

I gave a demo of it at LAFCPUG a couple of months back:

My software:
Pro Maintenance Tools – Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise
Pro Media Tools – Edit QuickTime chapters and metdata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more
More tools…

Looks great Jon! I the other tools look useful as well. I will definitely give them a try.

Does Gamma Shift Detector work with h.264 files?

It works best when the codec and frame size remain the same. It’s primarily designed to catch gamma shifts when you roundtrip to another app.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “From Larry jordan’s article: “Retaining In and Out points for clips in the Event Browser is undergoing a raging debate in Apple. It’s a raging debate?”

[David Lawrence] “Seriously, what on earth could they possibly be debating?”

I think it’s a little bit of identity crisis.

An NLE should retain in and out points, but a DAM (digital asset management) system has no reason to (although it would be nice if it could tell you what ranges in clips were used in various projects).

FCPX is an NLE, but its event browser is a DAM. There’s some very interesting power and flexibility possible there, but the paradigm clash needs to be resolved.

yeah but that gets to the heart of the issue – how do you resolve this? they’ve wedged something directly into the ribcage of editing there, and while its cool, it is physically taking up space. I don’t feel that there is enough space in this environment for all the stuff they’ve wedged in in the top left. I’m not being fancy, but as a monoloithic single window app running down to, and designed for a 15″ laptop, in order to get the kind of asset management approach they wanted in, they had to kill the source monitor, they didn’t just kill the source monitor because they thought it could be expressed directly in the canvas as an alternate – they needed the space to insert the asset management scheme they feel is more broadly appropriate across their applications. And even then – the environment up there is incredibly cramped, split filmstrips, tiny twirl downs, half unusable scrubbing, it looks ok in stasis on a page grab, but as a place to go and deal with footage its not good at all. Its very poor.
I think it is anyway.
