Has 2.0 changed 1.5 import limitation on drop and non drop frame same time line?

[Jacob Rosenberg]

The short answer is YES.
There have been a NUMBER of EDL changes for 2.0. A number of them dealing with 29.97 to 23.98 conversions. And for me personally, EDL was one of the areas that we deemed very important to fix. Additionally, the new EDL exporter and Importer has the traditional EDL callout tags to denote which timecode values are NON-DROP FRAME and DROP FRAME.
I will export an example and paste it to my next reply.

Jacob-

So, are you saying it correctly id’s the type of code on the tape OR that it actually USES mixed types of code in the same project (that’s what I REALLY need). Also, when you capture from an edl does it now capture individual clips, or does it still capture from the first used fame to the last used frame on each roll (talk about a space sucking NIGHTMARE!!)?

slainte,

You can use mixed codes in the project, some timecode will open DF and others NDF. There is a preference to make sure you always display the source format. When you export an EDL, the EDL will callout the Dropness of the referenced clip.
YOu now capture only individual clips and have the option of assigning handles to those batch captured clips (you previously couldn’t do this).

Hi Marisu,

Wecome to the version 2 wake 🙂

Seeing as there doesn’t seem to be any more media management in 2 than in 1.5..

It seems I can’t consolidate from a timeline and as the trim project only works with all timelines in the project, I will have to reingest 33 hours of my material in order to move my one hour film from dv to HD. Fortunately my source is HDV and not HDCam. Lovely.

OK, this is better than I feared…but only if export to edl will recurse into sub-timeline layers. Does it?

This does suck, I will be the first to admit it.
However, if you need to trim just one sequence, COPY your project and delete all the sequences from the new project that you aren’t going to trim (nothing happens to the media on disk).
Then run the project trimmer. It is a workaround and it should be better, but that is an option.

Happy to help. I have been working intensley with the product for a while now and I want to make sure things don’t “spin” out of control. It certainly isn’t the end all be all, yet, but it’s a great step forward!

I think what he means is will the EDL properly find clips that are in a sequence embedded in the current sequence (nested sequences)?

Thanks,
