1. Re: How to use Prelude just as a logging program?
Hiddenpictures Ltd Jul 28, 2013 6:57 PM (in response to Hiddenpictures Ltd)This is what the on-line chat help person thinks - no go it seems!
John: So do you think it is possible just to log without re-ingesting the media
Vaibhav: No
Vaibhav: you have to ingest file and then would be able to log
John: yes but I have already ingested them and do not want to double the storage I would require or the time it would take to re-ingest - just want to add comments to the files
Vaibhav: but if you want to log and comment ingesting is must
John: Ah then that is a failing in the software - I have posted it on the forum - thanks anyway
Vaibhav: you are welcome
Vaibhav: you can fill in the feature request form
John: where is that?
Vaibhav: one minute

John: thanks
Vaibhav: Thank you for contacting Adobe. Good Bye.

michaelgoshey Jul 28, 2013 11:46 PM (in response to Hiddenpictures Ltd)Hi,
This is not accurate information. Prelude's ingest dialog has a section for transferring media. When checked Prelude will perform a file copy as part of the ingest process. If you uncheck this section then Prelude will IMPORT the media from where it currently resides without any file copy.
Now perhaps the online chat support didn't fully differentiate between "INGEST" and "IMPORT". That is a common misunderstanding.
However, Prelude can do exactly what you are asking for already. If you have any further questions please let me know.
Regards,
Michael

Thanks for your post. Here are some my comments.
If you don't want to make an extra copy you can try to disable the transfer funtion in Ingest dialog. Please see the picture below. Yet after ingest you will do logging directly on the original media if it is writable. Do you mind to do this?
If the media is written-protected, there will be another way to save the logging data. That is through menu File->Save Metadata as.... In this way the logging data will be saved as an .xmp file. It can be used at any time you want. The steps are below:
1. Open the target media into the Timeline panel.
2. Open Unassociated Metadata panel.
3. Import the .xmp file into the Unassociated Metadata panel.
4. Click Apply button to add all the markers to the target media opened in the Timeline panel.
However before send the media to Premiere Pro all things should be saved at first.
