Hi y'all,
In the olden days, I used to color shows like lightning using tape-based color corrections. You know, you'd get 6 interviews, 2 cameras each and if the production people named their tapes well, half the show would be graded in a matter of minutes.
But of course now there's just Clip 1 of each interview, Clip 2 of each camera, and so on. So Source Tape, Source Clip Name, etc are completely useless. Now it's just saving a grade into a bin and applying it the next time you see it, and hoping you grabbed the right one.
I've thought about making a custom column in a bin and then color-coding segments based on that but it just seems like more work than it's worth. I'd be curious to know if y'all have other strategies for working with this problem.
Anyway, if Avid wanted to up the ante a bit on coloring, I would love to see them try to make a relationship between clips using facial recognition. Then we could apply a correction and have it apply to all other segments in the timeline that have a similar image. Ideally, there would be some kind of verify Yes or No on each segment. Heck, I'd bet the offliners would love to see color coding segments in the timeline based on the image.
My $.02.
Warmly on a warm day,
Seth
