Re: P2 Content Management Software

For (1), yeah, just do one folder at a time. The QT ref file creation is so fast, it won't add any time to the workflow (last batch I did was 65 clips, took maybe 3 seconds).

For (2), same here, I was at first, like "but I don't NEED all those (empty) audio tracks!" Just wasted space. But, compared to the video it was nothing, and since my archive workflow holds all the clip data (A+V) anyway, it wasn't worth spending time figuring a way around it. (Since I don't save my "working" MXF files - only the "camera master" files.)

One tip I think the guys at Raylight should stress more is that's it's a good idea to save the QT Ref files along with your project archives. That way if you need to re-load the project, you don't need to run Raylight again, and perhaps change settings from the 1st time, thus mucking up what would otherwise be a smooth, painless, media relink.

The one thing I REALLY WANT is an easy way to edit the SD card metadata file when shooting. If I used a cell phone that took SD cards, that'd be an option, but my iPhone won't.
