  • Question about sorting and printing contents of a sequence

    Posted by Chris Northcross on August 21, 2006 at 5:50 pm

    I’m in the middle of a documentary project and I need some help. We have about 65 hours worth of footgage that we’re breaking down into a footage library for our clients to use. The workflow we’ve used has been log and capture the entire reel, screen, and break down into subclips. Once we’ve gone through the subclips we assemble selects into sequences and eventually will lay them off to tape.

    Our problem is that we need to provide our clients a printed log of what is on the tape. We’ve got the subclips sorted into bins organized by location, not by selects. Is there a way to sort and print the contents of a sequence? Barring that, is there a way to copy the contents of a sequence into a bin, sort that bin based on the sequence’s timecode and print that out?

    Fake it til you make it!

    Chris,

    If I understand your question. It sounds like you want to export an EDL of the cut down sequences.

    If you need more info than the EDL or Batch List exports provide, you can also export as XML and use an editor to extract the stuff you need. If you are up to it, you could try using a scriping language like Python or Perl with XML parsers, which would allow you to produce just about any kind of report or log.
