Sure. Of course you’d whittle them down. However in long scenes, I’ve often used a little something from every take and every angle available. I don’t necessarily know this until I start cutting the scene.

[James Ewart] “o you put thirty different takes in one string out?
I think we can make some decisions from logging no?”In their example, yes, in the first pass. Note that Baxter mentions reviewing this and then pulling the possibles he likes as the next pass.
As far as logging, yes, that would be done in conjunction.

“But of course. That’s where Auditions shine is when you actually start cutting the scene. And they can be finalized! 🙂

yeah because previous workflows were based upon previous software solutions.

Again – entirely personal preference. For me, I tried it and it was largely useless.

[Oliver Peters] “entirely personal preference”
So… we seem to have established that individual editors work in different ways. Weird. 🙂

No. Previous workflows were based on what editors felt was best for their operating style. Sometimes in spite of the software. For example, Avid offers Script Based Editing, commonly referred to as ScriptSync (the automatic portion of it). Many Avid editors would consider this to be a vast improvement because of the software solution it offers. Yet, many other Avid editors never use it, even when it’s available to them and often even after they’ve had their assistants set up the bins for it.

That’s how I feel about Mixers in NLE’s. 😉

I cannot entirely agree with but understand the point you are making. If the option is not there you cannot make the choice whether to use it or not or whether it will come part of your operating style.
And part of the problem with shifting to X from any of the other NLE (only my personal opinion of course) is you have to make some changes to the way you work if you are going to reap the benefits. I didn’t use Auditions but decided to make myself do so and now they have become something I use all the time (albeit for best takes).
I don’t think I am alone in having an inclination to become set in my ways and Apple gave me a good old kick in the arse. If they had continued with FCP7 in parallel I never in a million years would have made the move to X if I am honest. At the time is was a little painful but it did me the world of good.

“That’s cool. I find them to be very useful. I can store more decisions with easier access in one single timeline than I ever could in any other NLE.
