Re: Organization Advice Importing BPAV to FCP

Hi, Ron. If you just transfer straight from the cards, are you not archiving your footage? If you are doing so in a separate step, you would benefit from using the Clip Browser. It does CRC error correction as it copies the clips, for one. It allows you to easily create and manipulate new BPAV folders, too. I'm a backup neurotic, so the idea of not archiving anything makes my eyelid twitch.

By the way, archiving the files you convert from the raw BPAV folders is NOT the correct approach. There have been discussion threads ad nauseam on this forum, outlining why that's exactly the wrong thing to do. If you backup only the converted Quicktimes and later on have to make MXF for Avid or something, you're in for a more painful conversion process.
