This is a very thorough video about roles.

And I stumbled across this one by another reputable group, which I have not watched yet.

John, I’m not totally clear on what a keyword collection is. If I create a new keyword collection in the Event browser, it just creates *a* keyword. I don’t see what is collected, about that. How is that not just a keyword?
I understand that a smart collection is a live search result for keywords and all other text.
Thanks!

It didn’t. Hence the raw DV files. I’m originating it now in FCP X.
By the way, if it’s not possible to do what I’m asking, here’s a followup question. And I’d want to know the answer anyway. What’s the best way to cut up a super-long clip, such as these 60-120 minute DV files? The Event browser is small for that, isn’t it? Or is it good enough? Do I need to drop my giant master clip into a Project timeline, razorblade it into many subclips there, and then drag them all back into an Event for logging (keywords, etc)? And then I can start the editing process as per normal, in a new Project timeline.

What’s the consensus on these techniques, after more usage? Is it still authoritative? No new gotchas or alternatives?

By the way, if you have any question about data integrity on any system, you can create an MD5 checksum of the source and target files. On Mac OS, you use the ‘md5’ command.
dtm$ md5 dorymonster_test1.mp4
MD5 (dorymonster_test1.mp4) = f3ed1559874599d26fddc5802d65266eDo that before and after copying them, and you compare that the result is still the same. In the example of my particular file, it’s “f3ed1559874599d26fddc5802d65266e”. There are free MD5 apps on Windows or on any other OS, and I don’t know the names but they’re the same algorithm with the same results.
