  • redig timeline clips only

    Posted by Burt Holland on May 5, 2005 at 3:14 pm

    I have 6 hours of interviews that I cut down to 5 minutes. I digitized the entire original clips DV, now I want to redig to Blackmagic only the protions of the interviews I’m using. When I select the timeline and say batch capture selected items it wants to redig the entire original clips (6 hrs). How to I get it to dig only the selected portions? I’m sure this has been covered but I couldn’t find it in the archive.

    Use the Media Manager to create a new offline sequence with the proper settings.

    Select the old sequence and CNTRL+click on it to choose “Make Sequence Clips Independent”.
    File>Media Manager>Create new offline sequence.
    Recapture.

    I’m close but still not quite getting it. One thing I didn’t mention is that the offline edit was on another computer, so the files are off-line at the moment. The original full interviews were named “int 1” and now have names that reference what is being said.

    In Media Manager I’m selecting

    Media: Create offline
    Set sequences to: Blackmagic NTSC 8-bit

    Include master clips outside selection: unchecked
    delete unused medis from duplicated sequence: checked
    Use handles: checked 1;00
    Include affilitae clips outside selection: unchecked

    base media file names: on clip names

    Project: duplicate selected sequence is grayed out.

    These setting create a new project for me that includes the sequence and a bin with all the clips. The clips all now have numbers added to them which I do not undertsand. When I then ask to batch capture it gives me the “Duplicate Item Filename” stuff. Why is that? What are the random numbers it added to the clip names? What should I select when I ask to batch capture? Thanks for the help.

    I think you should have base on file name not clip name. As well Try this one. Select the sequence and make clips independent. Then go to Tools create master clip. After that open the bin and make sure there are no in & outs. If there are clear them. Then select all the clips and batch em.

    This should work.
