Re: [FCP-L] Raid Died - Reconstruct Sequences

Robin, you've got that all wrong.
so wrong, in fact i suspect there could be a language problem here?

simply redigitising from an original timeline, FCP WILL want to
recapture the entire clip.
this has always been the case.

other than EDLs, the only way to restrict the capture to what is used
in the timeline (with or without handles) is by using the Media Manager.

Media Manager WILL (generally) trim an offline sequence.
however, occasionally this function is broken.

from memory, it has worked more often than not,
but as i work on long-form projects,
it could be that my needs have synched with the working periods.

Re: [FCP-L] Raid Died - Reconstruct Sequences

Redigitizing *from the timeline* should definitely NOT require
redigitizing the entire source material, but rather allow you to
merely recapture only what was used with the addition of handles of
choice. The Media Manager is of no use in this case, since it's
intended for ONLINE material only.

good luck

Philip, It seems Nick might have a solution. The XML thing worked
for me way back when on what exactly I can't remember. It was
something like doing "find and replace" on the text file. Maybe it
was as simple as a reel name change. I thought if I could somehow
replace the old 'long' clip with the newly digitized 'short' clip in
the XML and keep the T/C the same. The effects data might transfer.

I know I'm probably asking for a lot. It would probably take more
time to edit the XML if it were possible, than to just redo all the
effects.

Thanks for your input and good to be back. You guys/gals are the best!

Re: [FCP-L] Raid Died - Reconstruct Sequences

 

actually the Media Manager should work.

at times in the past, it has not been able to trim offline media,
from memory, this happened twice in point zero releases,
but was fixed both times,
and in fact it works now in FCP 7.0

the problem as far as i can see is that the OP is NOT using the Media
Manager.

Peter, select the sequence in the browser,
open Media manager.

use "Create Offline" mode
Delete Unused
add handles to taste
base media file names on: Clip Names (my recommendation for "create
offline", makes it easier if subclips were used in the edit)

make sure everything with the word "included" is un-ticked.

it should work.

Yes, you can only media manager online media. When media is "offline"
the full original clips will be used.

Can the Media Management be done on the original system, with the
offline media available? If the Sequence clips had been made
"Independent" then the media management done with available media it
would work as you expect.

I'm not aware of how that might work, nor could Greg (partner/coding
genius for our XML-based software) work out how to make it happen.

Sorry, hopefully someone else has a better answer Bouke are you

[FCP-L] Raid Died - Reconstruct Sequences

 

Haven't been here in a long time. I have just been lurking
occasionally.

Anyhow, I tried to help a friend rebuild some lost projects. The
sequences are cut from several very long clips; entire tapes were
digitized. The clips have moves on them. Redigitizing from the
sequences seems to want to redigitize the entire tape as was done
originally. We tried to "make clip independent" but when it is
offline that is greyed out.

I exported the sequence as an EDL, reimported it and it worked fine
to redigitize. Problem there's hours of sequences and there are
moves in and out done in FCP. The goal is to not have to do that.
The only way is to redig from sequences. Problem seems to be as I
said before, we have to digitize an hour tape for a 20sec clip.

Question is can we apply xml data in some way to only digitize the
20sec needed AND keep the moves intact?

Thanks in advance,
