Re: New blog post from Philip Hodgetts. Worth the read.

[David Lawrence] " "Maybe, it depends how much task overlap you'll be able to squeeze. I'm with Walter in that those three prep days still need to happen at some point. It's a question of when and who does it.""

[Jeremy Garchow] "I disagree."

[Jeremy Garchow] "FOr instance, a current project I am working on consists of about 30 hours of interviews on two camera (so double that in real time). We have to go through the 30 hours of footage when we receive a paper edit from the client. I would much rather feed it in to a system than have me go through and sort all 30 hours of material. "

OK, so how does metadata tagging help transcribe that 30 hours of interviews? Somebody has to listen it to it, log it and select from it. For the types of shows I typically work on, that's always a critical and time consuming part of the process. How do FCPX's organizational tools change this?
