It’s interesting that CATdv is popping up on many people’s “buy list”. I bought a single license a few months ago just to test it out and now have found many, many more uses. Now we’re considering a much more extensive client/server install. This is a product to watch (or buy if you need it).

Are you aware of this?

Check it out. Does multiclipping automatically based on audio. Very cool.

[Shaun Gish] “but it doesn’t really accomplish what I’m trying to accomplish – mass archival with an easy web interface for review/asset search”
Shaun,
You’re making some sweeping assumptions there…
There’s a CATdv forum here on the cow. Contact Bryson. I think you’ll have a rather interesting
conversation.Mark

Good luck finding something that meets ALL of your requirements.
Meanwhile, check out CATdv. It fulfills MOST of needs.

Award winning or not, there are many ways to skin the cat.
Personally, I’m NOT a fan of subclips. Don’t use ’em. Don’t like ’em. Don’t think they’re necessary.
I’ve seen too many editors spend too much time “organizing” and NOT EDITING! I’d rather see an editor with a terribly sloppy project , yet great creative instincts than one with Subclips up the wazoo, but a BORING timeline.
I prefer using the Apple finder level to organize my projects. I don’t see the point in subclipping. It’s MUCH easier to scan top to bottom of a long clip than to load multiple clips into a viewer repeatedly. To harken back to to old film paradigm, there a certain serendipity that comes from constantly scanning your “select reel” or long clips searching for something, only to discover a completely unexpected solution.
Spend your time EDITING, not subclipping.
Just my opinion.

You realize that you’re posting in the FCP forum, don’t you? Perhaps you’ll get more of a response in the Avid forum, eh?

This is why you spend $1300 on a HD-SDI option for your Panasonic Professional Plasma screen.
There is no free lunch in this area. Whaddya expect?

Matt,
If you buy Shane’s DVD you’ll understand what he’s talking about. 🙂
Large projects use the basic Apple file/folder structure for organizing… and NOT FCP bins. So, when you
use, “reveal in finder” it will reveal the “bin” in which it lives at the finder level. If you’ve done it right, this “folder” will be the exact same bin in your FCP project. See it in the finder, navigate to it within your FCP project. Hint: It probably will NOT be the same project that your sequences live in, but a different “media only” project. FCP can have MULTIPLE projects open simultaneously. Use that to your advantage.Mark

[Michael Gissing] “Once the RED scarlet hits the streets, XDCam is going to fade anyway”
Dream on! Sure, every format has it’s day, but the notion that RED is going to drive it to an early grave is crazy.
