Yeah.

I figured the footage was shot in 4K, scaled, and those movements were keyframed.

Thanks.

Sandeep,

Awesome. I think I have a pretty good grasp on everything now. Thanks again. One last question. When a card has filled up, do you always dump both the video card and the external audio device card and start fresh on both?

Sandeep,

I have been making disk images of my cards for awhile now to make sure that the entire Directory Structure is kept intact. Should I be labeling the disk images I make as such: A001_130504 and next disk image A002_130504, etc? Is there a way to copy to 2, non-Raided, small field drives at the same time (maybe daisy-chain)? And lastly, when it comes to external audio devices, which are placed in a separate folder, how do you label them so that they are matched up with the correct Reel?

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Sandeep,

Thanks for sharing your workflow man. I am definitely going to implement these organizational tools on all the shoots I do from now on. I haven’t watched the video yet, but I definitely will when I have a little more time.

One question, do you just treat your cards as a Reel? Once a card fills up you call it a reel and the next card, or the same card formatted, as the subsequent reel?

Thanks,

Scott

Thanks a lot Sandeep. That was really helpful. I do have a few questions though if you don’t mind.
How exactly are you striping Timecode and Reel information into the footage?
What is the quickest way to input additional metadata to clips within FCP X?
How would I go about transferring MovieSlate data into FCP X?
And, lastly what do you mean by “the device identifiers start at Z,” with regards to audio?

Scott.

Definitely. I have already started using the sparse disk image organizational workflow and using good naming conventions for my backups. I have also used the FCP X Event Browser to organize and rate all my clips. I just thought there might be a more “professional” way to do what the FCP X Event Browser does (ala Lightroom or Aperture).

So in your opinion Lightroom and Aperture are better for dealing with just photos and not particularly necessary for organizing media that will be placed in a FCP X or Premier scratch disk?

Thanks.
