Hi
I spent a whole day with speech transcriptions on several different clips from a Panasonic camera. After closing Prelude and opening it the next day, all the markers were gone.
The clips are basic Panasonic footage, where they are recorded inside a "Contents" folder, and inside there are different folders, like Video for video, Audio for audio, and Clip for the XML files that tie the both together, with additional metadata information. Both Video and Audio files are in the MXF contender.
I had read that Prelude, upon the creation of markers, would save those markers as metadata by creating a file with the same name in the same folder, but with extension XMP.
Upon realizing that this hasn't happened, as both the Video and Audio folder only have the mxf files alone, I confirm this by reingesting the panasonic clips and noticing that there is no markers at all.
I noticed another thing: If I copy a video mxf file from the VIDEO folder to a separate folder and ingest that file from there, although with no audio, by creating markers there will be now present a XMP file next to the MXF.
This won't happen if I ingest the MXF file from the original folder. I can add that all the content is NOT locked, and is read and write free, if I click on info for those files.
Also, when I'm about to ingest, as I'm in the CONTENTS folder, I can see all the clips ready to be ingested if I select on the separator above to show Panasonic P2 clips. Both by adding them this way or by choosing to show All Files and then Ingesting the video files from the VIDEO folder, in both ways I get the problem of no XMP files being created upon the creation of markers and transcriptions.
My questions are, is all my work gone or is it lying somewhere else in the disk?
And if it's gone, how am I supposed to create markers without copying all the video files to a separate folder, which will render my clips audioless?
thx
