Media Manager and Multiclips

[Shane Ross]

If I used Multiclips or Merged clips, I might, but I don’t…so..sorry.

I media manage all the time…but not with that stuff.

Media Manager cannot trim anything without a reel name.

Do the XDCAM clips have anything in the reel name column?

Hi, Kevin.

it should work.
as john mentions, you need a reel# on all clips.

one more thing to try would be a two-stage media manage.

when you “Collapse” a multiclip, the clip actually remains a multiclip, just collapsed (it can be UN collapsed)
in XMLs, the clip is still flagged as a multiclip,
so im guessing a collapsed multi would survive media management, and still be able to be un-collapsed.

however, in the Media Manager there is a check box to include other multiclip angles or not.
try that and see if it helps.

otherwise a 2-step plan would be to:

COPY
DONT DELETE UNUSED
DONT INCLUDE MULTICLIP ANGLES

and then:
COPY
DELETE UNUSED

all the best,
nick
