Hi Euri,
Did you ever get an answer from Blackmagic? I’m debating the exact same workflow and would love to know any of the pitfalls upfront. -
Hi Dougal,
I’ve been following everything you laid out in your post with no success until we tried changing mymov.xml to mymov.mov.xml and suddenly CatDV started picking up the xml files. Nothing I read said it needed the .mov in the xml filename. It also won’t associate xml files after a file has been loaded unless unless they contain the .mov or have the media path listed.I’ll open up a ticket with you in a bit to talk more about this issue since while working it still feels a little iffy.

This week I tried setting up a watch folder to put both the xml and the video file and it imported them as separate assets but it did at least apply the metadata in the xml file to xml asset just not the video one.

Hi Dougal,
I do have everything in your screen shot selected including the import all types of documents and recursively search options.
-
My xml files have been validated on another installation of CatDV so I do know it has something to do with this particular installation. Hopefully that helps someone come up with an idea.

Haha a good forum is a like a take one leave one penny jar.

Tanks for the info everyone!
Proxies are now working perfectly for me. I ended up using two different automations to create the proxies. The one to handle mac files adds its proxies to hierarchy that the windows machines create. Then for playback I needed 4 path mappings. One to map pc proxies to pc clients, one for mac proxies to pc clients and then one to map mac proxies to macs and one to map pc proxies to mac clients. Here are the mappings I used for future reference for anyone else. Oh and for the PC mappings I used UNC mapping.
PC
* ->\platform1PlatformCatDV Proxies
/Volumes/Platform ->\platform1PlatformCatDV Proxies
Mac
D:Platform -> /Volumes/Platform/CatDV Proxies/D/Platform
/Volumes/Platform -> /Volumes/Platform/CatDV Proxies/D/PlatformNot sure if this the ‘proper’ way to do it but it is working well for me so far.
