I have MC 5.0.3 but I freelance around using different Avids, not hi-liting the text seems like the new normal

duh, never mind:) It’s duplicate not copy

[Paul Dougherty]

Michael when you say “duplicate the contents of the NAME column into that” you aren’t cutting and pasting one clip name at a time right? How does one do the copy in bulk?

Thanks,

Paul

Excellent Michael.

Thanks Michael,

This extra step seems so embedded in people’s thinking it would appear hard to dislodge. Makes me wonder if there was some defensible kernel of truth or utility to the practice.

Your 2nd comment about the bad habit of maintaining the cryptic file name. At its root there must be doubts about traceability. I guess it’s a classic hedge, the file *should* always be traceable but in many “should” situations, sh*t happens so there is caution. I’m guilty of adding my human-English clip name in front of the file name. Chalk it up to unreasonable fear of gotchas, welcome to my world:)

Not trying to be provocative but Michael since you’re already on this thread, Paddy has invoked the extra step of linking the .new files back to the original clips (please correct me if I’ve got this wrong). You were saying in an earlier thread, just use the ,new clips… which I’d like to do. On a big scale the extra step(s) is tedious overhead. When if ever is the linking the new media to the original AMA clip necessary?

Thanks,

Paul

I too hate h264 in post. I get the feeling producers are sold a bill of goods by shooters not appreciating how high-mainatince and high-overhead the format is in post = (costs) time and money.

Without a super fast CPU you can’t do the triage review (good expression Michael) and are obliged to transcode all.

Thanks Michael,

Though I haven’t done much of any card based off-line, I picked up this misperception or phobia about .new clips from tutorials about making lo-rez off-line editing media(and general workflow). Eventually I hope understand what that is about re. the off-line editing workflow.

One area where working with the .new clips was mandatory was when I built my (interview) radio-cut transcoding sub-clipped selects. It would have been a big waste to time to transcode whole interviews.

that’s “boosted” (ugh auto-spell)

[Paul Dougherty]

Thanks Michael,

This really hosted my confidence not to sweat the embedded Canon TC value and go with 00

Best,

Paul
