Scene Detect Capture Renaming Workflow

[overnighttolondon]

Usually when I capture I manually set in and out points and name my clip properly. More and more I'm tempted to just capture the whole tape with Scene Detect (for efficiency as well as guarantee of clean 24pa cadences).

How do you guys then go about properly naming your clips? I'd prefer to have both the actual filename and the name in my project window match for organization's sake. The Project window is no problem, but is there a way to get Premiere to rename the actual file? Or is my best bet just to go into Windows Explorer, view each file, name it appropriately, and then import it into my project? If so, is all of the capture information (Tape name, in and outs, etc) saved in the avi's metadata, or is that info just in my project (in case I find dropouts and have to recapture, etc)?

EDIT: P.S. Using Ppro2

Im interested in seeing what everyone says on this. You may find that the traditional way of logging clips is fastest and safest in the end. For no other reason, having the log backed up and ready just incase something insanely bad happens to your project is a nice peace of mind. Example...One time I had both my primary harddrive and backup drive stolen. The only thing I had left were my tapes and my log file I had sent to myself in an email.

Renaming captured files and importing them into a new project preserves all of their metadata - the Tape name ("reel name"), tape in and out points, etc.

Actually I had kind of a similar experience tripleAAA - my hard drive slowly crashed but before it did I managed to save everything from a project except the captured files, so I just recaptured from the .prproj (which I always try to keep a backup of anyway... you can rebuild a hell of a lot of your project from that one ~10Mb file...)

Are you having any issues with scene detect and premiere 2.0 properly removing 24p 2:3:3:2 pulldown? It doesn't seem to be working quite right for me. (A few clips from the first tape I've tried have wrong pulldown....)

Morgan: Haven't noticed any problems so far, I'll let you know.

The Windows Explorer renaming workflow is working pretty well for me. I pop each clip open in Media Player to see what it is (I use Media Player Classic for its slim profile, but anyway...) and then apply my naming conventions to the filenames. Then I pull those files into a new project, with all the capture data intact should I ever need to recapture.
