long term FCP project..World ChangingPosted by Trittles
Hi,
An online group called World Changing will be adding web content to their site. They will be shooting, logging, digitizing all kinds of different footage and want to be able to search through the logs for shots, broll, interviews, now and in the future. They want to setup a stellar archival logging system as well as editing their current segments. My question is, what is the best way to log footage that you can search at a much later date. Can you take your logs and export them as a text file? Should I suggest he logs the footage in Microsoft word? Does FCP have a search option? For example, I want to find an interview with Craig, how should I log and capture to allow this sort of search to be most effective. Now that I've asked the same question 5 different ways, does anyone have any suggestions/ideas? They are running the newest version of FCP. Thanks gang, Trista

[www.frameline.tv] Look at it carefully. My guess it will be a year before the rest of the world catches up with these folks. Then of course there are numerous good logging tools out there. [www.imagineproducts.com] is just one of them Michael Horton -------------------
The problem here as with all logging solutions is that folks just GOT to get used to typing in a lot of info. Until people do that these solutions will just be costly cool software waiting to be used properly. Watch the video tour if you haven't. Its very cool and very powerful.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all your suggestions and advice. I guess they have decided to wait until FCP comes out with the new server because it's supposed to have the capability to archive and keep track of footage and they want to get a server anyways. I thought the project was World Changing, but it's really for the Consumer's Union, my friend works for both. When is the new server coming out anyways? Peace, Trista
