  • merging metadata (column info) from different project versions?

    Posted by Philipp Hahn on December 1, 2009 at 4:10 am

    hi everybody,
    i’m looking for a way to send out a fcp-project or batchlist (as excel sheet) to someone, so he can fill in slate info in a specified column. then i want to reimport the modified project/list into finalcut and add the new info in said column to my already existing clips.

    i tried to do this with batchlists but it’s quite tedious and not as foolproof as i need it to be so i’m wondering wether there is an established workflow or any other, more clever way to do this?
    all clips are xdcam ex and were imported via xdcam transfer.

    any help is really highly appreciated!
    ideas?

    I don’t think there’s another way other than batch lists, but you can set up columns in FCP so that only those in use will be exported. Just right click on a column header and hide it… Other than that it’s very fast and efficient as well as the ONLY way to do it…
