Thanks for your response, and I get what you are saying, but that’s not what it’s doing. It’s recording clip number 0576xx and then restarting at 0001xx. it’s a total reset. even the data in the LASTCLIP on the second card shows 0001xx as the last clip and 2 as the next. This can’t be normal.

Sounds logical… But how? I don’t remember seeing any options for encoding.

You’re da bomb! Works great! Thanks, Alex! 🙂

OK, I’ll look into P2CMS. Thanks.
But your response brought up a very interesting problem I just started running into… When I import (for example) clips 1-5 into Premiere, it will import 4 instances of clip one and then clip 5. Is this because of the 4 Gb limit?
I expect that it is… Why then does premiere not simply import the fully composited Clip 1 once? Why does it import 4 Clip 1’s?
Let me show you what I mean…
I import multiple files…
And Premiere imports some files multiple times. Yes, at least one of all replaced files are 4Gb.
But why doesn’t Premiere just import one composited clip instead of 4??

Thanks for the links, Alex. Unfortunately, thanks to workplace network restrictions, I can’t get to them. I will have to look at them some time though.

Ok you lost me… Please elaborate.

[Tom Daigon] “the set up and timing for my response was to good to resist.”
Agreed. Virtual high-five… Nice!

HAHA! I suppose you may be right. But I don’t know avid, nor can our studio afford it. FCP 7 did a pretty good job on most fronts, even with their transcoding of P2. But Adobe is where we headed, and now we need to make it work to fit our needs.

[Alex Udell] “So you really have 3 choices…”
Thanks for the tips, Alex. Though I kinda wish there was a 4th option of “have complete control over your assets so you can manage, control, and organize them in whatever manner works best for your workflow.”

[Alex Udell] “This doesn’t handle the file naming though.”
Ok, I just tested that out. It does indeed give the option to rename the source clip to match project names.
But here’s the catch: I opened a different project and imported one of the renamed clips… and the imported clip was the original serialized name!! Grrrr!
Why can the original metadata not be touched?! I am totally baffled by this! It’s not a strange concept.
