Hello,
When I started editing my feature I digitized my footage from tape using AspectHD v5 LOW to save HD space.
Having been misinformed at the time I thought I could just transcode to HIGH the footage used in the final edit.
I recently found out that I won't have upgrade if I transcode from LOW to HIGH from file and I need to redigitize from tape to get HIGH.
Since, HDlink didn't register the original tape Timecode while digitizing and just created a new one with 00;00;00;00 at the start of tape,
it scene cuted into clips. I didn't bother about that because I didn't paln to go back to tape and had backup of every medias file in case of crash or corruption of files.
Now I'm looking for a way to redigitize in HIGH from tape and having file that match. I plan to use ProspectHD to have 10-bit quality as well.
I got a few questions and possible worflow I'd be open on ideas to implement.
If I redigitize every tape in scene detect and then trash clips I don't require to only keep HIGH file of media used in final edit; since there always a slip of a few fram in between scenes, would scene detect cut exactly as it did on first digitizing session?
Could I batch capture in anyway possible? At least use batch capture per tape?
Can I create a batch capture log starting from a list of file (like if I create an excell document of clip used with an EDL) ?
Did ProspectHD implement cameras ? I interacted with a SONY camera that AspectHD didn't reconize.
I guess that I'll have to relink footage manualy in project file after ?
Any other possible avenue I could take that would minimize pain of switching medias?
