I don’t know Avid but would love to learn how it factors into the equation, as well!
My specific goal is to organize documentary projects that have 60+ hours of footage. I imagine I’d set up tags and filters for place, shot type and movement, character(s), theme(s), notable dialogue, etc. Such that if I searched for Bob in Honduras discussing crime, I could see at a glance all of the moments involving that character in that place and in that context. I’m just not sure which program best accommodates the kind of metadata flexibility I’d need.
The bigger question, here, is how one should organize projects with hours and hours and hours of content. Hmmm…
