    Prelude for Documentary Filmmakers

      *******Clip Markers summary*********

      Unless that function already exists>>> I would like to have the ability to create a printable summary of all the markers associated to a clip or a group a clip in a folder.

      As a documentary filmmaker that would allow me to review my clips side by side to fine tune my storyline.

      I'd like to hear from any documentary filmmakers out there who have already integrated prelude in their workflow.

          Hi, I am testing a Prelude / Premiere workflow for a documentary projects these days.

           

          True, a printable list of markers might be useful, especially if you have a lot of footage and not three or four screens to have a complete list of all markers opened every time.

          So what my workflow is (and I am interested in others' opinions and workflows, too!):

          In Prelude I make a subclip out of every pontentially usable clip and name it with tags, something like: TYPE OF CLIP / Location / Action / People involved / number

          This way I don't have to rename my original files, which might end up pretty messy if you are ding offlined editing.

          Also these names that I give the subclips make them easy find with the search function in Prelude and Premiere.

          And then I use the comment marker to indicate "special events" inside the clip, like zooms, quotations, actions ...

          This why I don't handle with the original clips at all in Premiere but only with the tagged and commented subclips. If i look for something I just put in any of my "self-made" tags into the search function, like a person's name, a location, an action or a combination of all. This just requires that you use the exact same names for people, places etc. while making the subclips in Prelude.

           

          What do you think? Any better suggestions?
