Organization Advice Importing BPAV to FCP

[Clint Fleckenstein]

Thanks a bunch, Daniel. I’ll have to look at that again. My big concern is that if I export a Quicktime movie title “Screaming Cheetah Wheelies” that I have a way to connect it to a raw XDCAM file back down the road. I’ll take some time to play around with it.

In regards to the Calibrated Software codec…I can’t install that on a Final Cut Studio system, can I? That’s why I figured I would export Quicktimes to the RAID that we keep online using this workstation, and archive the BPAV folders to XDCAM disc for the fire safe. Then I could use CatDV to catalog the Quicktime movies.

You can install Calibrated Codec on a FCP system. Just make sure you get the right one at the web site. This allows you to use quicktime OUTSIDE of the FCP for the MP4 files. If you use this in conjunction with CatDV, you can export an XML list from CatDV and associate your notes from the raw BAPV folder with the MOV’s that you have transferred into FCP. Pretty slick for projects with a lot of footage.
