Thanks Charlie,

I will try this. I tried another piece of software by Andreas, but it was not running correctly on mavericks.

Thanks,
Battistella

Hi David, I just ran it on 10.9.2, works fine. EDL X will also do this, but isn’t free…

I can not see why such a meta data rich piece of software can not “reverse view” the data. I mean, all of the clips in used in a project? It’s a no brainer to be able to create and display that list of sources.

User should be able to sort, color code, print, etc. at some point (generally at picture lock) all of the work in the editing room becomes administrative. The software should have the administrative component, especially since it is so powerful at the ingest stage.

I’ve submitted feedback on this. I encourage other to request this from apple.

I regard it as a top priority item in a professional tool. The consolidate and bin sifting features in avid comes to mind.

Please submit.

Here is something close to the text I submitted

View source list.
When I have completed my edit and am doing prep for other departments, sound, picture, vfx, etc., I want to be able to see a source list (much better than the timeline index. I want to be able to generate a printable list of every piece of media in the timeline. Have it show used media with fields to sort by name, type and timecode. I should not have to go outside of FCP X to do this.

As a follow up.

myFiles is an excellent little utility that works well and serves the purpose.

I still think it would be great to be able to do this within the software.

Agreed. Send feedback to apple, and encourage others to do the same. I have. 🙂
