Hi Grinner, thanks for the detailed information. I’m wondering what the difference would be between a post-production assistant and an assistant editor?
-
thanks a bunch for the info kevin! especially for explaning the YUV->RGB process.
-
Thanks David! I’ll give the editorial team your contact information.

if I do a video-only QT reference export, it’s still large, almost 1 GB in size.

If i highlight and do multiclipping from that, then i’ll have a 20+ ‘angle’ multiclip window. Our editors do NOT want to be working with that as it’s extremely to focus on all 20 (even though only 1 or 2 will be active at any given moment).
When making reference files, shouldn’t they be extremely small in size, as they ONLY contain reference data? On my old Avid, much more complicated reference files wouldn’t go above one MB in size, and referred to audio and video files on my hard drive.

….. and i just totally didn’t answer your question, sorry shane! I was recently brought onto this project because of it’s immense complexity, so i’m not 100% sure on the entire workflow. It was shot on DVCPro50, being digitized at DV NTSC. I’m not 100% familiar with format technalities either, but I did hear that the final edit is being up-ressed to a higher quality.
Also, because I synced up the individual clips, I now have a synced sequence for that camera’s tape. To my knowledge, you can’t multicam with sequences, only actual clips 🙁

thanks for the tip. for some reason, when I try to make a quicktime reference movie, the file is VERY large (self-contained unchecked). the timeline is one hour in length, but only ~40 individual clips (that number is video clips + audio from the video x 2 for stereo + seperately recorded audio). when making a reference for both video and audio, the file is 4 GB!!!
On an Avid i’ve made quicktime references before and they were only a couple hundred KB for a sequence with hundreds of cuts.
Also incase anybody asks, i’m synced each camera’s footage on it’s on timeline with the intention of eventually doing only a 2 ‘angle’ multicam edit, rather than highlighting all the clips and doing multicam edit with 10-20 ‘angles’.
Also, ‘old fashioned’ editing where you overlap the two angles and cutaway from one to reveal the other will be VERY tricky since there would then be 12+ audio tracks on the timeline at any given moment.
as a halfway solution, is there someway i can create a merged clip from 1 video track, and 2 different audio CLIPS that are on the same track (there is a gap between the clips)? and of course the merged clip must link back to the master files, thus know it has 5 source files (1 video, 2 x 2 mono audio files)

defineitly not an anomaly. i’ve had around 5-6 tapes that were untranscribable because of that setup :S
-
hey debe, you were right!! more or less lol. i called and spoke with the guy doing the dubbing. they have multiple setups for dubbing and one particular deck doesn’t have a black stripe behind the timecode. but here’s the bad news:
he checked all the settings on the Beta deck and the VHS deck and everything was A.OK, the tape should be recording in SP mode. he also did extensive testing on the recording and checking the tape on multiple decks and everything was fine. so we think we found the general ‘source’ of the bad tapes, but still stumped on what’s actually causing it.
unfortunately my professional SVHS deck has no option to play EP/LP tapes :(.

Just found this out: I removed all the buttons for a menu and it previewed perfectly fine! Hopefully that gives you guys a clue as to what the possible solution would be :S
