Naming the clips take time. Most offline editors don't spend the time
to do it. It's not cost effective for me to spend the time naming clips
in finishing just to save time when I CC. I did a show lat week where
the editor actually had named her clips and did a very good job of it.
She was amazed at how fast I was able to do my first pass of color
correction. It was just like the old days.
It's actually not awful applying the CC shot by shot in source segment.
What IS awful is trying to remember which bucket goes with which scene.
I will take this opportunity to repeat for the I don't know how manyeth
time my feature request for the CC buckets to take on a thumbnail of the
frame Symphony was parked on when the bucket was saved. If Facebook can
stick my face on everything I say, seems like avid should be able to
grab a thumbnail.
One other request... I lost back some of the time I gained on the show
I did last week because of the color corrector defaulting to "clip name"
when I was making a second pass. I know that's what it does but for the
last few years I've spent almost all my time in source segment. I
forgot a few times and wound up making unwanted adjustments all over the
timeline. How hard would it me to give us the ability to lock the mode.
