What you did was change the format of the sequence. That would likely have
altered the included clips. You then batch captured and batch imported the
referenced (modified) clips. Right?
You mentioned you would be doing this for unfinished projects. So there
might be much more than just sequence, and you would basically want to have
all source clips for the entire project batch captured in order to have full
editing flexibility. In the last week of editing, you may still need to
change to that one other take.
My theory on the BWAVs is that if you can get the clips to open in the HD
project, a batch import should work. Even thought the clips may have a
different TC, Batch Import AFAIK does not look at TC at all, it just
imported the file it is pointed towards, and does so bit-by-bit. The
metadata, at that stage, is not imported from the BWAV, it keeps the
metadata of the original master clip, which will be "filled" with media.
So what happens if you perform the same test, but rather than batching the
reference clips, you bring over the bins with the original master clips for
picture and sound, and try and batch those?
Or, what happens if you make sequences per shooting day of all footage, open
those in the HD project, batch all referenced clips (ergo: all clips) for
all those shooting day sequences? That should work, but what happens if you
then take any current or old sequence, will it link or relink to the HD
footage?
