organising footage from a rushed multicamera shoot – workflow advice please
I did i shoot with 6 DSLR’s filming a classical quartet, schedule was very tight so our DIT and clapper loader had to rush.
I now have 250gb of footage from 6 cameras in folders sometimes being a1,a2 etc and some like box of cards, random etc.
i wondered if there was a feature in premiere or prelude or the like for watching through footage and tagging it something like ‘brahms movement 1 take 1 camera a’
i want to end up with folders in premiere like this
mozart>movement1>take1 a,b,c,d,e,f
letters for cameras to make sure everything is there etc.
i could go on but bassicaly its a mess what with DSLR’s needing to stop and start, not being able to clapper everything and backup organised.
i wondered what peoples workflows are, for sorting through lots and lots of footage for sound syncing and editing (using plural eyes) i wondered if i am missing something in prelude or a tagging feature in premiere that will allow me to watch tag and then search to build organised folders.
Thanks for reading through this rambled message!

Do you have Adobe Prelude?
I’d start there prior to PPro…

i do, but from the intro videos i have watched all i see is commenting on footage and nothing detailing how to ‘tag’ and then build folders, do you know of any?

Hi…
When you say folders, do you mean folders on your drive or Bins in your Project?
Also…
Inside PPro, you can add additional columns in the Project Panel for Custom Project oriented Metadata to assist you in tagging and sifting to find tagged material.
see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVvSZXUoGnc
Depending on the the type of source file you are working with….
You can set up Metadata schema’s in Adobe Bridge and tag the media via XMP and then the media will be searchable in bridge outside PPro. This method tends to work for things like unified .mov’s and not for material that rely on folder structures (like MXF from P2)…
