1. Re: Sorting Interviews
shooternz Dec 22, 2013 2:45 PM (in response to Jack Banatoni)Only way I know is to roll through the footage (real time) ...logging it and pre selecting useful parts. Selects.
Select takes can be accomplished many ways and every editor has their systems.
eg sub clips or timeline set ups.
Some edit selects from the time line and in the sequence. eg Move Seelt Parts up a video layer
Others edit from the Source Monitor and create a Selects Sequence. or Sequences from I and O's
Some would use a combination of both.
Whatever...I always start by logging my clips in "Description" Column in the bin.
Tedious... but always pays off as the edit progresses and totally familarise me with the available material.
Keeping notes in Script, Stickies or pen & pad is a great aid.
Time code is your friend!

2. Re: Sorting Interviews
Steven L. Gotz Dec 22, 2013 6:27 PM (in response to Jack Banatoni)As I watch in the source monitor, I set the in point. If the interviewee backs up and starts over, I just hit the in point again. When I get to the end, of a usable section, I hit the out point and save a subclip.
But yes, I have to watch, and listen to them all.
With some interviews, I tell them that we will staop and be quite a moment to help them collect their thoughts. That way, I have a visual clue as to a point where a do-over has taken place.

Hire an assistant editor.
