Master Comments in clips within a sequence
Hi everyone….I’m just about to finish up a longform project, and I’m about to make EDLs for our online/DI. Within the EDL, I wanted to write comments about certain clips. (I am making these comments after the fact, after the project is already edited.) I noticed, though, that if I go into the Browser and type in comments on a certain clip (I tried both the Comments A and the Master Comments 4 columns), when I go into the cut Sequence, highlight that same clip inside the Sequence and check the Logging Info, that comment is not in the comments column (and therefore, not on the EDL).
Is there a way to “reconnect” or “relink” the clips in the sequence to the comments information in the Browser, so the comments show up inside the clips in the Sequence? (It would be too much of a pain to highlight the clip every time it shows up on the sequence and re-type that same comment.)
Thanks,

Unfortunately you can’t relink to your browser clips once the masterclip to seq. link is broken 🙁
That’s exactly why I had to change my normal workflow of having all footage in one project (50 hours+)
and the seq. in a 2nd to keep files sizes down. Because the masterclip to seq. clip link only works within a project, NOT across projects I now have to have both in one which creates huge project files (but it works)So only workaround I can think of for you is to use the mediamanager to create a new project from the master seq. and ask to create new master clips. This way you get new masterclips in the browser which you can add comments too and by sorting by tape-tc your able to see related clips so you can quickly copy comments to a group of clips if necessary.
As this new project is always a copy you can’t mess up the original if somehing doesn’t work (still backup though)

Frank,
I sure liked IN THE BEDROOM. That must have been a good experience.
