Your best bet would be to make the timecode correct within the spreadsheet, using the concatenate function, most likely. Then, you could export a csv, open it in a text editor, and, do a find and replace to add any consistent spaces or symbols.

Got a test clip back, exported as RGB instead of the 601/709 he normally uses. It’s a huge difference, much better, and matches the footage I import from XDCAM. Problem solved. Thanks!

Neither clip shows anything in the Gamma Level Column, or with a CMD-9.

I sent an email to see what his settings are.

I did some looking around, and the file “Alias.xml” in the root folder seems to be the file that controls the order. However, it is a read only file. Perhaps a sudo from the terminal?
Once it’s writeable, someone with a bit more scripting experience than I could easily make a tool that would reorder them according to name. Would save a lot of time.

[David Hartnett] “In what way did it mess up the order of your clips? I just did some duplications from XDCAM to XDCAM with the PDW-U1 using the “copy .MXF files to HDD method”. After copying back into the clip folder on the formatted disc, the xml and proxy files regenerated. XDCAM Transfer then read the disc exactly the same as the old one. Did I miss something?
Even if the clips are out of order, can’t you just sort them by name? After all, they are just files on a disc and not shots on a linear tape.”Yes, you can sort them by name… but if you ever try to play them back on a deck, you’ll get a timecode break between every clip. I can’t say for sure how these will be used in the future, and if I needed a time code accurate deck to deck dub to say HDCAM, I’d be in trouble.

I’ve verified that copying over multiple clips at once will mess up the order of the clips. So I’m stuck doing it one at a time in finder, or one at a time in Final Cut.
Any other ideas so I don’t have to babysit it through the process?——

Thanks, Andy-
It is HD, and sadly we don’t have the Matrox box. We have a local place do our captioning, and they have never touched XDCAM. What they’re proposing is they would make a HDCAM master of the show, and then we would take over an XDCAM deck, and we’d play out of the HDCAM and record on the XDCAM. I’m just seeing if there is an easy way (that is available to us).
Thanks again,

Or razor blade where you want the flash, and add a 5-10 frame Dip to Color Transition, set to an almost white (remember Broadcast Safe).
