Welcome back to reality Bryson ;)
Glad to have your input, and its reassuring I am on the right track with the importance o folder and file metadata. I can see big shops needing individual file names, it makes sense but for anyone smaller a simpler system with CatDV doing all the heavy lifting should not run into too many problems. If anything the media folder seems to be a useful way to divide content up, especially when dealing with clip based tapeless media. So date, country, location, two word description etc
Does CatDV have a way of generating a continuos number? for example if I wanted to have a field for a unique asset set number (I am thinking of using the Reel field for integration into FCP).
So lets say I have a shoot on XDCAM EX or P2. I could take a cards worth of data and give it a number 1088 in the reel field (or similar user created one). Is there a way that when I come to do the next cards worth of clips I can go to that metadata filed and CatDV will auto prompt the next number in the sequence? I can probably see this manually using the drop down I was just wondering if it has an intelligent way of controlling those numbers?
