[David Mathis] ” Lounge X”

I second this hahaha

[Tony West]

too bad it’s taken, that’s a cool name and seems more like what goes on here.

You bring up some very interesting points Franz.

Any thoughts on what you would like to see it changed to?

[Tony West]

No, I was really talking about just being able to see the HD Icon in the event browser window.

See how I could see TB 1 and TB2 icon below?

Now you can’t tell by looking what drive things are on unless you label it that in the name, but that’s extra typing.

Not the end of the world, I just liked it better the other way.

I like the crop tool, it just seems a little jumpy for me at the start of the move. I like how it stops.

I liked the smoothness of KB but I didn’t want it to go the length of the move, so I would blade it and add a freeze so I could hold on the pic a little longer.

I saw the guys from ripple doing it.

[Bret Williams] “Seems to me that freezing a KB move right in the middle would be jerky though.”

I know, I thought that also but it looked very nice. My only complaint was how many key strokes it took me to do it.

I have run into a problem when I blade a Ken Burns move with sections not rendering.

Doning a doc this is really a pain since I do so many moves on pics.

I don’t like to keyframe because the moves come out kind of jerky.

The blade, freeze trick was working fine before the update.

Just looking on this forum there seems to be a ton of bug complaints

[Oliver Peters] “Currently I would suggest to group events by type. So events for Footage, Graphics, Music/SFX, Sequences.”

I actually have done that,

Music
B-roll
VO
Motion

and such

but I still like the subjects in their own events, the reason is in this doc there are a lot of files that come along with each person such as government documents, case forms and their pics and such.

(I first started this when people were complaining about events getting corrupted and I wanted to separate them. Have not heard about that happening in a while, knock on wood)

Let’s look at Denise for an example below.

She has over 150 elements in her event alone and she is only one of 40 subjects so far.

I simply click on her name

Then I click on work history and I’m there.

I measure speed in number of clicks.

I can run through over 1500 files in 2 clicks with no typing.

For me it’s working great and the system has had no problem handling all these events.

[Jeremy Garchow] “that was back when there was typically one Event per job”

I’m up to 42 events in this documentary and I find it faster to…..

1. click the Event (for me the person’s name)

2. click the collection (interview or pics)

I can make those two clicks faster than I can type the name out.

At most 3 clicks if I have to twirl it down.

Since they are in alphabetical order I go right to them visually.

[Tony West]

I do miss seeing the HD icon in the window that showed what drive my event was on.

Not sure why that had to go away : /

[Jeremy Garchow] ” I just want more.”

I like that you keep pushing.

[Jeremy Garchow] “How’s the Library performing with all your clips?”

So far it’s working pretty well for me but I’m still trying to get reorganized with it.

I was already organizing in a admittedly unorthodox way : )

But everything transferred right over.

I still have all of my subjects of the doc in their own events that contain their sit down, pics, documents
and such. I like seeing them in order by name and I can just select that event as I get to their section.

Out of all these files I have I have not had anytime wasted looking for anything so far.
