We use Neofinder as well. Anyone working from home can just remote-in via TeamViewer to one of our shared, always-on workstations and access it that way (and do a thousand other things as well).

You don't need cloud services or VPN's if you have a well-managed TeamViewer ecosystem - it does pretty much everything, and cross-platform too (Mac, Windows, Linux). Like Timbuktu used to be, only better.

My company has been using NeoFinder for the past five or so years to index our project and archive SATA hard drives.

It works great - launch the program, drag in the drive and presto! The hard drive gets indexed and cataloged. Now it's searchable and anyone in our office with the NeoFinder software can search all the drives to find old jobs, project files, raw media, etc.

BUT - it really only works when connected to the in-office server. VPN from home? Nope.

There is a ton of DAM software out there that can search a DAM server (or cloud server) but doesn't work for removable / external SATA hard drives.

I have a library of more than 200 SATA drives (plus backups) sitting on a shelf that I want to have a cloud-based updatable catalog, that is searchable through a web interface.

Anyone heard of something like this?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Avid-L2] Changing the frame rate of a QuickTime file #workflow

Hi Pierre,

It depends on the software to make the DCP.

Some packages make an image sequence first, and once it's an image sequence, you can of course assign any frame rate you like.

For QTchange, you're using the old version. The latest one does not have the frame rate option anymore. (I'm contemplating on bringing it back, but now as Cinematools style.)

Another option is to roundtrip in MC, in a 24 project you can import a 23.976 mixdown, and have frameflex do the 0.1 %  change (a frame is a frame)

Recently worked on a low budget film and it got selected in its first (big!) festival, so we're pretty happy.

The film was shot at 23.976fps, but the festival only projects DCP. To keep cost down, we're trying to do a few things ourselves before the DCP is made. The re-recording mixer provided us with a 24fps harmonized mix and a simple 5:1 expansion. Now I need to provide a 24fps QuickTime. Back in the days of FCP7, Apple provided the CinemaTools apps and it could do this in a very simple manner. One click and your QuickTime would display 24 frames each seconds instead of 23.976. Easy.
But I don't have a Mac which can run this software which EOL'ed... 10 years ago?

Then I remembered that Bouke's QTChange could do this. and I have it on a partition of my MacPro, an older partition running MacOS Sierra or something similar. I launch it, import my QuickTime, I see that there are local menus to choose my new framerate! I change it to 24fps, and hit the Do It button.;; And I get a warning telling me that this operation is NOT like the old CinemaTools function.
Damn.

I've been googling a lot and nothing came up. 
And then I thought, someone here might have an idea!
Thanks in advance L-ers!
