Re: HDV Indie Film Workflow suggestions...

Yup, it's no problem to rename audio (or video) tracks in premiere pro. Just right click on them and Rename. One toggles between tracks by highlighting the track by selecting it on it's left hand side. You will see that one Video or one Audio track is generally darker when selected.

I was making each scene a separate sequence, and had originally wanted to then have the master be consisting of each of the sequences dragged to the timeline. Yes this works fine off the external maxtor 300gb no problem, however, I did have some trouble getting the transitions to work well between sequenced scenes in the master as I hadnt given enough pre and post roll in each sequence.

So I ended up just making sure all the track names matched between sequences and then just cut & pasted to the master (not ideal as if a scene changes it would need to change in both places). and that worked.

My finished product is DVD (but since it's edited in HDV I can burn to HD-DVD or BluRay when that becomes available to me too).

Just wondered if anyone else is having similar issues workflow wise and wanted to see what others do...
