Hey Jeremy,
Agreed that markers are a good way log specific items on clips. It’s just that, with interviews, I prefer to have ranges, so I can quickly add an entire bite to a timeline. In that scenario, my only choices are favorites or adding more keywords.

when you keyword the answers, do you include the interviewer’s question in the first range pass?
And then you would further refine with more keywords – general summations of the answer/topic the interviewee is discussing, correct?

Say I’ve created my interview keywords and favorites. I’m watching an interview select and for whatever reason, I want to go back to the original full clip. Shift-F doesn’t do it. Is there another way to go back up a “level?”
Also, is there an easy way to increase the range length of the keyword in a clip without having to go back to the original clip?

Hey Loren,
Thanks for that. Do you have some screen grabs or would you be interested in making a short screen recording tutorial? I’m curious to see your method in action.
Thx!

Bill, I’d like to echo Tony. What are your methods? I have a fairly decent grasp of X and have been studying it since day 1, as well. That said, I see that that there is not one right way to get the job done. By that same token, if you are not careful, I see potential for a project/show/library/etc… getting horribly messed up.
I think that, with 7, Avid and Premiere, people are using time-tested, proven workflow methods. Those methods are currently in formation with X and I’m just trying to get a general consensus from the pros and those who’ve had success with it, such as yourself.
Looking forward to you response and thanks!

Agreed. I’ll look back into using markers. My reason for staying away from them was because of the lack of an out point. But it really does seem like it’s the best way to keep it all together. Perhaps a combo of marker and favorite might do the trick for soundbites i know i’m going to use.

You bring up a good point about favorites. It’s very easy to hit U to deselect them. It feels like the software doesn’t really “want” you to name them. I always feel uneasy about spending a lot of time adding specific info to favorites since they can easy be deleted and you might not be able to bring them back if you didn’t realize you hit U.

Thanks, Jeffrey. Much agreed on the limitations. Good to know that I’m not crazy and that the issues I am experiencing seem to be echoed in the responses so far. 😉

Hey Tony,
Thanks for your insight. Yes I am aware of the right to untwirl. But you have to select all and do it each time you select a keyword “folder”. Grumble.
