[Avid-L2] Re: Stuff I wish they'd fix

I use clip names with suffixes to customize the color correction links for relational color correction. The problem with File based the clip naming conventions are too random for the addition of a suffix to work. Think of a traditional tape reel number name that populates the bin with the bin name, which is usually the tape name followed by .01, .02 etc... In online it's relatively easy to take the decompose bin and sort by tape and start time and scroll through in script mode and add the necessary suffixes before the .new 01, .new02 etc... to facilitate grouping certain shots with the same color correction need together. This falls apart in file based because of the less consistent naming conventions of the ama'd or imported clips. I hope for something like you have suggested but I'd just like to have the ability to base relational color correction on a comment field or some such thing that I could fill in with whatever I wanted to identify the shots color correction needs. Ideally there would be a clip name like file based metadata that incremented more like a tape based clip name did. Perhaps Folder name or Card name or Disk ID come to mind. I haven't been working on enough big scale file based show to know what would be the best choice but something like that seems easily doable.

A window would open and then we'd assign a user-definable tag-term to them. The same tag-term could be added at any time (from a tag list window) to other shots (if one was missed, let's say), or could be removed (so it could be tweaked individually without breaking *all* CC links).
