Hi Everyone-
I just wanted to take the opportunity to fill you in on a feature of SCRATCH CINE that was very well-received at NAB this year -- ALE export.
Once a timeline [CONstruct] has been set up in SCRATCH CINE, it can be laid off directly to tape from SCRATCH CINE and then an ALE file is generated.
This file includes all of the metadata for timecodes, clipname, reel ID and other information that is then passed to an editing system such as Avid Media Composer. The editing system can re-create the individual clips along with all the metadata and then batch capture from the SCRATCH CINE generated tape.
This gets you all of your source material within the editing system already broken out into separate clips along with all the metadata; without the lengthy transcoding and ingest steps.
This follows a very well-known workflow that has been used in telecine for many years and is familiar to editors used to working from film-based material.
This capability is available in both SCRATCH CINE and SCRATCH.
I hope this gives you some additional information and options for your RED workflows.
cheers.
