More Bricklayers and Sculptors from Oliver and Simon

[Brian Seegmiller] “I would create a multicam and then use keywords, markers, favorites and or notes. Simple.”
That works for the source clip, however, at that point you really have no advantage in X over other NLEs. Yes, you could reject and hide sections, but that doesn’t show you the re-arranged flow. Typically when I cut interviews, I do all of that in the timeline, saving and duplicating sequences for interim versions that I can revert to as needed. The re-arranging part goes faster, in theory, with the magnetic timeline (fewer keystrokes). But I find it easy to lose your place when moving a long distance up or down the sequence. Especially when dealing with the typical “frankenbites”. Hence, copy & paste/insert seems to be more accurate – at least for me.

As I keyword the footage I put in into the timeline and build the edit anyway I like. You are assuming I leave it in the browser. I can even divide my storyline into sections for other versions. I do hate the thought of managing tracks when it is time do finesse the edit. Oh wait, I don’t have to worry about that.

Thanks for the links but I don’t need them. The whole point of a Smart Collection is for organization.
Greg said he didn’t organize. He literally wrote “it eliminates the need to organize”
So I don’t see Simon agreeing with that unless he flipped flopped.

Or maybe his system evolved into a better approach ☺

I’ve inherited projects from others where it looks like they didn’t worry too much about tracks either. ☺

Or he maybe he forgot about the last approach : )

[Andrew Kimery] “I mainly use sequences for organization and with the pancake method (broll and interview sequences on top, editing sequences on bottom)”
How do you separate the B-roll?
Say you have b-roll from 6 different cities. Where is your b-roll kept? Do you just mix it all in together? Instead of Chicago b-roll separated from St. Louis B-roll and Missouri River Separated from Ohio River and so on?

They would make more sequences. I would just create a keyword.

I used markers to organize it and played back never chocked. The Marker Window is searchable so it’s pretty easy to narrow in on what I need.

Wow, that’s interesting. I can see how it could work.
I have never tried to load up a 14 hour timeline on my computer. It may be able to handle it but even if it did it would take longer than loading the shots in the browser after clicking on the Keyword because it would only be dealing with a certain group of shots.
do you label every every single b-roll clip with a marker?
