How do I Batch re-digitize video only?

[John Pale]

Duplicate your sequence. Delete all the audio clips from the duplicate. Media Manage that sequence.

Thanks!

I guess I was expecting a more practical way to do this. Perhaps FCP can take note and tackle this for the next release?

have you tried creating a bin with the used material and with those clip offline you should be able to into clip settings and adjust accordingly. its a long and tedious process. in previous versions form 5 you could do it at the bin level. Just curious though, audio doesn’t take up all that much room. So why the need to dump it?

YOu need to unlink your video and audio in your ‘offline’ sequence, media manage, then select and relink the audio with the original files, then batch capture the new video.

A more PRACTICAL way? That sounds like a very easy and viable way. That is how I online using an Avid. Duplicate the sequence, remove the audio tracks, decompose (a feature I miss in FCP) and batch digitize. Then add your aduio back to the ONLINE cut when done.

Presto!

I’ll give it a shot!

Thanks,

Mainly because I’m working with tapes that don’t have bars and tone on them (thanks, cameraguy!) I’ve already adjusted all the audio. If I re-dig, My mix depends on where my levels are set on the deck. I’d rather bypass it altogether, frankly.

I’m a Media100 guy, and on that platform you can select to re-dig audio or not at the click of a button. Simple, effective. Thought there might be a similar feature on FCP. Maybe next update?

You do have a decompose-like feature…select your sequence then

Tools/Create Master Clips

a bin is created with master clips for every clip in the sequence. This is very similar to the decompose function in Avid.

good answer…. makes sense i was just curious on why. best of luck on your process.
