This IS the Avid L2: [Avid-L2] Re: [FR] Facial Recognition for CC

I've been asking for years for them to add the ability to have relational color correction based on a custom column. As it is I still use src clip name and I add suffixes to break up clip names that cover multiple setups. I agree with file based clips the naming conventions do not liken themselves to src clip name like they use to. Yesterday I duplicated the tape name column to the name column after they had added tape names to Alexa footage. It was a simple show so it worked well and then I added suffixes to the clip name to break up different setup from the same tape named clips. Had they not added tape names I might have tried the source file name column but I think usually the source file names are unique to each clip so it doesn't really help for color correction like the traditional clip and tape names have in the past. Hence if I could create or use an existing comments column and then base color correction on that I could add alpha numeric text into the column based on clip content which can be relatively quick when viewing clips in script view.

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
