I am working on multiple HD projects. When I use the media tool to import master clips, it finds all of the clips (from previous projects). Is there a way to just say "bring in clips from MXF/2 etc, or do I have to look at each clip individually and distinguish which clips I want to drag where...?
It's completely crazy when you work on a big project to have to look at each clip and rename it !!!!!! We should be able to import from one folder only, say subfolder 3 of the mxf folder. How to to this, I don't know ??? I have a workaround, but it is complicated and easy to mess with everything !!
Anybody know something about this important organization issue ???
When I copy the videos to mxf with the sony viewer and then link the videos in the bins, they ALL have the same name : SONY VOYAGER. Ok, now I know it is a problem coming from Sony, so we'll have to wait for a solution.
In my cam, the shooting is separated in folders properly identified, but when the transfer to mxf is done and the clips are sent to the bins in Avid from Media tool, gone the good organization work
For now, here is the best workaround that I found :
1- you copy MXF files in the folder MXF/1 (or 2 or 3, ...)
2- Open Avid
3- Open Media Tool, search only for master clips and drag them to a well identified bin
4- Close Avid. Copy and paste another bunch of MXF files from another folder.
5- Re-open Avid and the media tool.
6- Select all the clips from the first bin. Select MEDIA RELATIVE so these clips will be highlighted in the media tool (so you know wich one are already in Avid).
7- In media tool, reverse selection.
8- Bravo now you know which clips to drag in another well identified bin.
!!!
What a pain in the ...
Another solution ?
Also, how do you keep the timecode? It seems each clips have a timecode reset each time ???
A+
