Undocumented changes...?

varius 20 Sep 2008 10:16
Been a while since I had the time to submit new stuff, but I'm kind of missing the documentation to some changes. How do I tell the system that two files are the same footage just in different format (used to be associate files)? And what is a dynamic template?

No answers in all week...?

Sorry about that, forgot completely.

We explained the association think rather badly so it has been used in all sorts of ways ranging from its intended use to something that resembles public clip bins so that data cannot be used and we removed the functionality.

The associations will be (and https://www.pond5.com/ko/stock-video-footage/item%3A134044%3A134345.html) handled by Pond5 in the future.

Best regards,
Marcus

That's what I had hoped it would be like... So basically I'll have to go through 3000 clips again and re-associate them once the funtionallity is back?

No, we'll do that.

Best regards,
Marcus

About the dynamic template -- this is just like applying a template, but you can edit it on the fly (so you don't have to create the template, then apply it). We're probably going to change the terminology to "batch tag" soon.

Sounds nice, gotta try that. Thanks Tom.

Marcus, if that does help you: I have only ever used the association of clips for those that actually had the same source (i.e. same clip, different format). Obviously going from 16:9 to 4:3 the framing is somewhat different, but that's it.
