I think that MovieRecorders ‘classic’ mode works better than segmented for growing files.

Do you need to be so close to live though? I do sometimes work in auto split mode where the files are in 10 min chunks and are not growing. Saves the PEK redraw and is easier to media manage afterwards.

Where I need to be very tight to live I’ve always used EVS to Avid/FCP/Pr solutions – usually in a shared storage environment.

I’m pretty sure you can acheive that with fcpx – you’ll have to ‘add edit’ then use inspector to change audio source.

Or you could use Avid. AMA actually seems to work pretty well for this.

[Trevor Asquerthian]

What are you using to capture the growing files? (EVS, Softron or PictureReady or another?)

I think the refresh is related to redrawing waveforms and storing them as PEK files, I’m not sure there’s much you can do about that.

In testing, what slowed down editing for me on PPro was how awful picture update was when shuttling (jerky, skips, unusable). Workaround for that was to set the ‘shift & jog multiple frame’ value to 50 frames and then hold down shift and jog in the direction I needed to shuttle.

I didn’t notice the refresh as an issue (I was using Softron in classic mode) but this was only a proof of concept test. I did find that it was very impressive that I could ingest/edit & output all on my laptop.

Is it a motion adaptor? Could be a frame flex or colour management indicator too… right click on clip and check that all the source settings are correct.

Gamma shift is part of QT with DNX I think. Might well be full swing v video levels thing, or a gamma issue

[Neil Goodman] “whats so much faster”

I’d guess quite a bit of it would be audio moving WITH video, without even thinking about it.

Linked selections don’t work so well everywhere else, once you get beyond very rough assemblies.

CatDV also has scene detection – and is much more able to log and provide subclips to various NLEs

[Trevor Asquerthian]

I’ve done this successfully with Resolve as the Scene Detector and Avid as the destination via AAF.

I take only the ‘Cut’ info (i.e. Edit Decisions) via AAF, not the media, and use an effect in Avid that will subdivide one Video clip based on a different layer to notch the flattened master.

I’ve tried this with Resolve to Premiere – and found that I could only rely on the ‘Cut’ info with this route and had to manually slice up in a similar way to notching in Avid (in fact using a macro to do the manual work)

Here’s the potted workflow & where the problems were:

In Resolve:

Create new project (or new folder in Media Pool so your clips don’t get confused with any others)
Find clip in Media Tab | Library
Right Click and select ‘Scene Cut Detection’
Click ‘Start’
Save SceneCut (in case of crashes) via the top right 3 dot menu
Refine the edits as necessary (use – to remove them, or adjust the purple ‘threshold’ for where it detects cuts)
Save SceneCut again (just in case – it’ll save you doing that work again)
‘Add Clips to Media Pool’
Switch to Edit Tab
Select All Clips in Media Pool (or folder)
Right click and ‘create sequence with selected clips’ (they should be sorted correctly and now be a timeline of your full clip, but notched)
Right click resulting sequence and export as:

AAF – doesn’t work well into Pr – cuts in right place but sequence clip always starts at beginning of source clip. Also audio is ‘nested’ for some reason.

XML – again cuts in right place but source clip always at start

EDL – not linked, no audio, no cuts as presumably optimised – not much use

FCP1.3 or 1.4 XML – will not import

SOLUTION:

Export from Resolve as AAF

Import that AAF to Pr and delete audio tracks
Import full clip to Pr and ‘create sequence from clip’
Put AAF timeline on V2 of this sequence
With V1 & V2 selected:
step to next edit
add-edit
repeat

I’ve not used this in anger in Pr though. Oh and the Speedgrade scene detection was a lot slower

[Trevor Asquerthian]

No need to ‘select all forward’, no overwriting of clips in timeline, no need to ‘add new tracks’ before moving and the fact that connected clips move together are all features I would love to see in the other NLEs….
