I’m in the process of creating an Excel library of our raw SxS BPAV files and I’m wondering if anyone else has done this. Any tips, tricks and observations are appreciated.

I’ve got columns for the card number, BPAV number range, total items in the BPAV>CLPR folder, shoot date, client, etc. – but what concerns me is that just listing the number range really says nothing about the clips.

Now, I will put a general description of the shots in the range, but is that adequate? If someone needed to go back and refer to the BPAV files, they might be lost.

When I L&T into FCP I rename the files with our established naming conventions. I understand you can revert the clip title back to the original metadata name and then go hunt that file down, but is this all the most efficient workflow?

Also, if anyone has an awesome workflow process for working with SxS cards & files please let me know. I’m always looking to make improvements on my organizational structure.
