Media Manager not working for “non-controllable device” captured clips
Our project has roughly 300 hour-long master clips, 95% captured w/ device control. MM works perfectly with these. However, MM is not functioning for master clips captured with “non-controllable device”. I’ve skimmed thru a number of posts relating to MM, and I know that its buggy generally. But for those out there who do believe in this tool, as I do, I would love some specific advice. THanks!

Are you trying to uprez? When you capture anything without timecode, you cannot recapture as there’s no map to tell FCP what to capture. Make sense? you will have to manually recapture and reedit those clips into your uprezzed timeline.

I really don’t need the timecode for these clips (its coming from dvd, & being patched thru deck). I want to be able to extract what I want from these clips, and delete the rest.

i got it, so you digitized a bunch of clips uncontrolled, and now you want to trim those clips down, correct? What I would do is copy and paste those clips into a separate timeline. Then in your browser, i would right or control click on this new sequence and choose “make sequence clips independent”. Then right or control click on the same new timeline and choose media manager, then use the trim function and make sure to turn on the proper options (I don’t have FCP in front of me at the moment, but it’s something like checking the box that says delete unused media and Unchecking something about the affiliate clips). Then the media manager should do it’s thing. It should leave you with new clips in a new project. Copy and paste those clips into your original project and then re-edit them into your timeline. Make sense? Are you uprezzing your project? If so, then it’s a little different workflow.
