Finalizing My First Major Workflow

[Joseph Hung]

Everyone’s got their way of working. You can also check out FCPX’s feature Sync N Link X. Batch syncing sounds great.

I appreciate this detailed feedback and kinda like the work flow.

So how would you go about the preparation?

My time concern was 422 transfer each clip (original plan was to let MPEG Streamclip do this) then audio sync (all takes by hand with DualEyes). It will take 8-10 hours.

Revised and current plan – L&T very quickly throwing away garbage and setting in/out points on delayed rolls, etc. etc. then edit & sync master audio using PluralEyes take by take (two camera shoot, one master audio file) then whither it down from that.

However I love the concept of a master timeline. I really agree with that sentiment.

Что вы думаете?

Thanks everyone trying to learn as much as I can. Appreciate all the feedback/time.

Tough call. I used PluralEyes on music videos where shots are few but several minutes long and you end up with a dozen of angles multiclip. I have no idea how PluralEyes will handle a hundred of two-angle takes. Every feature I cut I sank manually on a clap.

I also needed EDL’s and KeyKode pull/cut lists on them for scanning or negative cut. You don’t need either so timecode doesn’t matter. If you’re comfortable with MPEGStreamclip use it. It has batch transcode (Command-B) and you can tell it to run several threads simultaneously. It will be fast. If you can set up a virtual Qmaster Cluster for Compressor it can be as fast too. Either will be faster than Log and Transfer.

I wouldn’t waste time weeding out delayed rolls and bad takes before editing. Doing it on the timeline is much faster than in L&T. What I’d do is rename every take from MVI-bla-bla-bla to the Scene/Take and spend as much time on it as it takes. It’ll pay back later during edit.

Удачи
