Dear Mr Dave, I'm not an assistant editor, I'm a well seasoned editor with some mileage unfortunately, and I wish I was in my twenties assisting an editor, even a fascist not democratized one. I'm fully trained and sorry that my experience is not the same as Yours. TC is not an issue with good old file import and batch re-import, think of it as a "replace footage" command; and I rarely have had mismatching frame rate with stock library footage, eg Getty Images, while I sometimes did encounter clips with a slightly different duration, usually for a bunch of frames, and especially with library music, but nothing that couldn't be taken care of, and this is why I suggested to make a reference videomixdon or consolidate before online. I do agree that archive or file footage digitized from old film or video, eg Movietone with burn in TC, might be troublesome, but this was also true back at the time of tape, and to be manually taken care of, today like yesterday, and again this is the reason why I suggested a videomixdown or a consolidate before going online. I find that Batch import is still faster than manually replacing each and every shot, even if the cuts have to be double checked and eventually slightly adjusted.
Regards with no anger, Luca Gazzolo
