FCP 5.1 – imported EDL – can u set batch capture to capture using record TC as oppose to source?

[Bouke Vahl]

There are a zillion ways to do this.
You apperantly know about my cutfinder application (www.videotoolshed.com)…

Next ways:
Export your show as an EDL. The format is now
(besides event numbers, cut or effect and track numbers)

Source In Source Out Record In Record Out

On your T2T master you have source and record the same.
So open the EDL in a text editor, convert to table and paste the record In to Source In, Record Out to Source Out. Set table to text again and save as UTF8 (plain text)
Import that in FCP and batch dig.

Voila.

(if that does not work out, just overlay the fresh ingested master over your old work and let a macro go cut by cut and razor the new master)

Hi Bourke,

thx for your response – I can’t actually find any mention of ‘cut finder’ on your site. The software i was referring to was one made by another place – it pretty much did what I want – just had to pay for it.

I am aware of what needs to be done – was just looking to find a free option to do it automatically 🙂

thx though.

Justin,
Application is called “recut”, and it ain’t free either.
What did you use? (always good to know the competition 🙂

However, the EDL route i’ve described is free and should work just fine.
Won’t take you more than a few minutes to get it going.

(btw, my name is spelled without the ‘r’, it’s my first name…)

thx again for the suggestion –

well, this does exactly what i’ve described when using a word processor.
Totally overpriced IMHO (althoug Martin isn’t a bad guy)

My software does way more, it can actually find cuts if you don’t have an EDL, based on the video file.
