Thanks Jon, that did the trick.

Michael, I respectfully disagree. It is not cheaper to capture as one huge clip. It always adds to the time somewhere down the road. Plus, logging is the first step in editing. I see it as my introduction to the footage. Captureing whole tapes is to me like grading and saying that all clips need x amount of desaturation.

Mark, I could not agree more with you. In fact I have taken what you wrote and put it aside to send to people. One of my mentors put it this way. He said that you need to “let the footage wash over you”. To not judge it. To not think “Oh this will go here, that will go there” Just watch and remember. And then when you need it, it will come to the surface and be there for you. I see it as respecting the footage. Listening to what it is trying to tell you. I rebel against anything that forces footage to meet my ideas. Aside from that subclipping is always a huge pain in the a** somewhere down the road. I do not like doing it this way but it is where I am at. Thankfully it is a small project with not much footage.

Yeah thats what I want to do. Get close on location (its not really in the field, its just out of town and not in my suite) and then finish on the big system.

It does look awesome. What I am foreseeing using this on is DV though.

Primarily most of the people I am working with are working in DV. I want an external monitor mainly so they can have something to look at. I have a DSR-ll I could use as a DA/AD to go out for monitoring. I would probably take it along anyway for loggin and diging. I am using a 2 drive (JBOD) Firmtek SATA drive system with the Express card adapter. Works well.

SC, I don’t like the Porsche drives. Seen to many crap out. I picked up a LaCie d2 250G the other day for $143. Take into account the format you are working with also. I know you are uder budget constraints; but to buy cheap drives is to invite disaster. Save a nickel now, pay a dollar later.

Chaz, I’ve done this with the duck but it was about a year and a half ago. Then it was pretty seemless and everything we did came over to the Avid. Media had to be re-captured though.

Thanks Rick. I do have it but never thought of using it. Wow so simple and right in front of me.
