I actually got a solution from elsewhere so no need to put time into this, but if anyone is interested, this script solved my issue, although it does not trim the in and out points, it changes the opacity of the layer at a certain point in the comp:

t = thisComp.layer(“HMS05 Erski.json”)(“Data”)(“Outline”)(“Sheet1”)(“Sheet1 0”)(“in”);

var f = 0;
for(i=0; i<4; i++){
d = t.split(“:”)[i];
try{d = d.split(“:”)[0]}catch(e){};
f += parseInt(d);
if(i<2) f*=60;
if(i==2)f*=(1/thisComp.frameDuration);
}

s = thisComp.layer(“HMS05 Erski.json”)(“Data”)(“Outline”)(“Sheet1”)(“Sheet1 0”)(“out”);

var g = 0;
for(i=0; i<4; i++){
d = s.split(“:”)[i];
try{d = d.split(“:”)[0]}catch(e){};
g += parseInt(d);
if(i<2) g*=60;
if(i==2)g*=(1/thisComp.frameDuration);
}

if(time < (framesToTime(f) + framesToTime(g))/2){
ease(time,framesToTime(f),framesToTime(f)+1,0,100);
}else{
ease(time,framesToTime(g)-1,framesToTime(g),100,0)
};

Excuse me? What do you mean by that exactly?

[Jonathan Bierman]

I’ll answer the question myself: Change it to a 3D layer and flip 180 degrees along the x axis!

Hey John thanks for the tips – media management and file naming conventions etc is one area I have very well covered with regards to this… but you are right to bring it up nonetheless.

[Jonathan Bierman]

Absolutely right. Wise words. Thanks for your help with this.

So far, it’s been done directly from the cards, interfaced through the camera.

Why is this bad? This is new territory for me.

Would the ideal work flow to be to only back up the card media to the hard drives and just do the log and transfer once they get back?

[Jonathan Bierman]

Thanks again to the both of you – wish I could be in the field now to check this for myself.

Will be necessary to make a disk image of these folders containing the card media, in order to be able to ingest when using Log and Transfer? Or can you simply browse to the folder location within the L&T window?

[Jonathan Bierman]

Thanks Shane – as expected, makes sense.

[Jonathan Bierman]

Thanks for the response John, and greetings from East Van.

Good news re the EX1 and 5D, Do you happen to know if this applies for the XF100 as well? My only concern is that I have seen some mention of using the XF Utility software to copy from the card to the hdd, although I haven’t seen any evidence that it is essential.

so in other words, perform a pitch-shift on the post-confrormed audio, retaining that audio’s overall length? yeah that sounds like it could work, and surely with this approach I wouldn’t encounter any timing problems over the 23 minutes of the doc, just a slightly artificial sounding warble on the audio… the conform from 23.98 to 25 results in a 0.7 semitone increase in pitch I believe? So it would simply require a pitch down of 0.7 semitones to compensate?

Thanks all for your responses. I feel better about this now :p
