    Hello all COWers,

    Quick thought: When conforming multiple edits from tape that have lots of overlapping footage, how do you make it easy to capture the material that is common to all edits and the extra shots ?

    As it stands, I have to manually figure out what goes where and capture with handles hoping nothing is outside. This is a bit laborious !

    Any thoughts ?

    Thanks in advance

    Make one big sequence and put all the sequences you want to capture for into that one. Then media manage that sequence. Recapture. Then break up the sequences again.

    I had to do this for a show that had 4 deliverables. A 2 hour show cut to time, same 2 hours but with no breaks, and 3 min of extra footage. Then a 1 hour version of the show, cut to time, and again with the extra footage and no breaks. Worked great.

    Will give that a try, makes sense though.

    Did you need to manually reconnect media afterwards ? Or are the sequences all ready to roll ?
