Sequence names in batch list

Hi there,
I'm looking to take a series of clips and create a database from them. I'd like to export the names of the clips and subclips into a text document, so I can them bring them into the FileMaker Pro template I'm using. However, many of the selects that I've made are actually sequences, due to using the Belle Nuit subtitler program, which adds .tif files to the material as the subtitled text. Since Batch List will not export sequence names, how else can I get the text of everything I have in the Browser? Thanks.

didn't hear anything back, so just entered things manually

Exporting a batch list of a FCP Sequence

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to export a batch list of a sequence from FCP, with TC and reels etc. I've exported clips and subclips bins as batch lists without problem for import onto an AVID.
Is there a way, ANY WAY, to export a sequence as a batch list, EDL... ?

If you are transfering a project to an Avid, Automatic Duck is, without a doubt, the best way to go.
If you can't afford that, you can always go the EDL route, select your sequence (make sure all your video is on one layer, or if necessary, export separate lists for each layer) and select Export EDL...

Batch List: How to capture clips inc info, from disk instead of tape

We have a client's edit log on Excel, including reel no, in/out, scene, description, log note etc. Usually we import this batch list to FCP, then batch capture from DVCAM tapes, so all clips have all their info - great.
In this case, the material is already digitised and the client has logged from DVDs burned with timecode from the digitised material being placed in FCP sequencecs with timecode generator filter.
Is there a way to 'batch capture' clips from the digitised material, so that we keep all the client logging info, as we would if we were capturing from tape?

Shane has got it right - we want to automatically build a sequence using that batch list. Or somehow have FCP make new clips or subclips from already captured footage... so if your verdict is right Shane, looks like we may have to go the manual route...
although - just occurred to me - for each clip, I could go to the digitised source sequence, duplicate it, open copy in timeline, enter clip's in and out tc in the viewer - and that will give me a copy of each clip as a sequence - rename that sequence as per the clip, and we're done.
But it's still of course more laborious than batch capture from tape; this is a concern going forward as we are switching to XDCAM EX, so of course the route to enable this client-edit-logging ( http://www.creationvideo.co.uk/info/timecode/ ) that we've always offered clients is no longer valid as the material is already online....
Any suggestions still welcome!

Log and Transfer : any way to import a batch list?

HI
Anyone know if it's possible to import a Batch list of In/Out points (ie a txt file from Excel) to automatically populate the Log and Transfer window? (as can be done in the Log and Capture Window)
It would help reduce the amount of data produced when converting from AVHHD.
There's a great little app called ProxyMill that generates small QT Versions of AVCHD file with Timecode Burned In ... so offline style capture lists are certainly possible, if only I could import the resultant data!
Thanks in advance

Importing a Batch List
You can import a batch list into Final Cut Pro and use it to capture clips to edit or to create a sequence originally done on another editing system. The frame rate of the batch list is determined by the currently selected sequence preset in the Audio/Video Settings window.
Note: A batch list must be a text file. In some cases, you may need to add the .txt file extension to your filename to ensure that Final Cut Pro can import your file.
To import a batch list
In the Browser, open an existing bin, or create a new bin to store the offline clips and open it.
For more information, see “Organizing Footage in the Browser.”
Choose File > Import > Batch List.
Note: The frame rate of the current sequence preset appears in the Import Batch List command name. For example, if a DV NTSC preset is selected, the command is named Import Batch List at 29.97 fps.
Locate the batch list, select it, then click Choose.
The logged clips appear in the Browser as offline clips that you need to capture.
You can capture the clips all at one time by doing a batch capture. For more information, see “Batch Capturing Clips.”
Note: Make sure you have all the source tapes associated with the batch list before starting the capture process.
If you’re having a problem importing a batch capture list, check the format of the text file. Final Cut Pro does not support importing RTF (Rich Text Format) text files. If you have an RTF file you need to import, open it in a text editing application such as TextEdit and save it as a plain text document first.

Reconnecting Issues with Batch List

Hello,
I am working with a client who created a ton of sub-clips and sent me a batch list of them. He is using FCP 7.0.3 and I am using 6.0.6. When imported, all of the subclips show up with the same name in the browser window (not sure if this is standard as I haven't used batch lists before).
I am having two issues:
- Since there are a ton of subclips, I am obviously hoping to reconnect all of them at once. However, when I go to reconnect, even though I highlight all the clips in the browser window and have checked off the "reconnect all files in similar path" box- it will only reconnect one sublicip at a time.
- For some reason when the sublips do reconnect (one at a time) they are converted to 4:3 from anamorphic- so I have to go into Item Properties and manually check off the anamorphic box to make them normal.
Obviously I can continue with the project, but it will take me a long time to reconnect each sublicip individually and then re-anamorphic (sorry for the made up word) each one manually. It's going to take a long time.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Michael,
Thanks again. I understand now what you are saying. When I reconnect, the dialogue box lists the files as coming from an "Unspecified Path." However, It's finding the files just fine- and it says it can reconnect the clips. However, when it does, it only reconnects one subclip at a time, even though I have highlighted them all. That's the issue. Since all the sublicips I am trying to reconnect have the same name in the browser (they are all named the same as the original clip), FCP will only connect one at a time (apparently it seems to think that the files are all one because they have the same names).
Same thing with selecting multiple clips and then going to Item Properties and clicking on anamorphic- FCP thinks all the clips are really one clip, so it only reconnects one at a time.
Hopefully I am being clear with the problem.
Thanks!

Can't import an Avid batch list, keep getting "heading error:

I'm trying to import a text file batch list into FCP HD from an Avid. I have the top line of the file with the headings NAME, DURATION, MEDIA START, MEDIA END, TAPE, and each subsequent line has the info deliniated with tabs. I thought this was the right way to do this. Anyone have any tips for importing this file?

got a feeling your headings are wrong ... change "Tape" to "Reel" and drop "Duration"
I would go with:
Name Reel Media Start Media End
cheers

Final Cut Crashes when I try to export a batch list - help!

I'm doing a very large documentary project and each tape has extensive log notes. I use the batch list function to export tabbed text files and convert them to excel - very useful in the creative process when figuring out story structure etc.
But now every time I try to export a batch list final cut crashes - any ideas on how to get around this?
please help.

Are you batch exporting the enrire project maybe?
Might try selecting just your capture bins and trying to batch export those. Could be a sequence or graphic file making it go kookoo.
If the sheer size of it is making FCP choke you could try selecting a single bin and then doing batch export. Do that for all your bins and assemble them in excel.

Error reading batch list

This used to be easy as far as I can remember last year imports. Now I cannot import a batch list and FCP 6.0.4 gives me the error message "One or more items on the header line do not match valid Browser column headers." The list is a tab-delimited simple text file with just four headers - Name, Media Start, Media End and Reel. They are exactly the same headers that are minimally necessary for successful batch list imports as described on page 311 of the user manual; no misspellings.
Does anybody have an idea?

Hi
I've received two responses to this problem on the Creative Cow. These suggestions didn’t work for me, but they did help me find a workaround.
In summary:
tab delimited text files do not work for my set up
cleaner text files do
I think one issue here may be that I don’t have Microsoft Office. I use iWork, which I like a lot for all the classic Apple reasons. As I suspect the number of iWork-FCP users in the world will grow, I’ve uploaded another zip file which contains batch lists that work, batch lists that don't work, a summary of what I think are the reasons, plus two Automator workflows:

Batch List Columns Confirmation

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to confirm something in regards to batch lists. Either myself, or the AC will be creating batch lists in Excel on set. My question is, can you create columns (as long as they are exactly as in FCP) for take/shot, angle, etc?
I know the standards are Name, Media End, Media Start, Reel. However, after reel, can I create a column for scene, take/shot, etc?
Thanks In Advance!

Preserve column headings in batch list export (FCP6)

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to preserve edited column headings in an exported batch list from FCP6. When I rename the Master Comment 1-4 and Comment A/B headings (Eg to Location, Weather etc) the exported batch list does not preserve these customised names and I have to manually rename the columns.
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers.

Exporting a batch list from browser

Hello,
I am trying desperately to get a list of all of my file info into a spreadsheet so I can take notes while we view the assembly. Everytime I try to export it FC crashes. It just closes the app. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Batch lists can only contain clips, not sequences as far as I know... so just select the clips leaving anything else (like filters or whatever) unselected for the batch list.

How to get key name from parameter list

hi..
i want string from parameter list.. i hv already created parameter list like
ADD_PARAMETER (param_list_id, 'EMPID', TEXT_PARAMETER,'123');
ADD_PARAMETER (param_list_id, 'EMPNM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'ABC');
ADD_PARAMETER (param_list_id, 'EMPADD', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'XXX');
i got value like '123' ,'ABC', 'XXX' using
eg. get_parameter_attr(param_list_id,'EMPID',aprmlist,avalue)
but i want key name like 'EMPID' , 'EMPNM', 'EMPADD' from param_list_id
is it possible to get this key name from parameter list ???
Thanks...

I cannot think of a way to do that. The code that reads the list is supposed to know the key names. That is sort of the point with parameter lists. If you need to have parameter lists that can be interepreted by some code that doesn't know about a specific list but knows how to interpret it by inspecting the key names, perhaps you can specify a separate parameter list with the key names as values and call the keys of that list something generic?

How to find which sequence name is used in a table - Redux

(The other thread was locked before I could respond, so I'm posting this here as a non-question.)
Beginning with 12c, there is now a way to associate a sequence with a table. It's a new feature called an Identity column.
create table t
(some_id number generated as identity --< creates a system generated sequence
,name varchar2(30)
insert into t (name) values ('Smith');
insert into t (name) values ('Jones');
insert into t (name) values ('Anderson');
commit;
select * from t;
        SOME_ID NAME
              1 Smith
              2 Jones
              3 Anderson
select table_name, column_name, data_default from user_tab_columns where table_name = 'T' and column_name = 'SOME_ID';
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_DEFAULT
T          SOME_ID     "C##SELSE"."ISEQ$$_91955".nextval
select * from user_sequences;
SEQUENCE_NAME
ISEQ$$_91955

There's nothing stopping you from using the generated sequence for something else, however you can NOT override it when doing an insert (as long as you've specified ALWAYS which is the default).
SQL> create table t
2 (some_id number generated as identity
3 ,name varchar2(30)
4 );
Table created.
SQL> select * from user_sequences;
SEQUENCE_NAME
ISEQ$$_91970
SQL> select ISEQ$$_91970.nextval from dual;
             NEXTVAL
                   1
SQL> select ISEQ$$_91970.nextval from dual;
             NEXTVAL
                   2
SQL> insert into t values (99,'smith');
insert into t values (99,'smith')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32795: cannot insert into a generated always identity column

Why can I NOT name a Reminder List the exact same thing as a Calendar?

Remember the good old days when ToDo Lists where automatically related to a specific calendar? I want that back. Why can I not name a Reminder List and a Calendar with identical titles? Why do I have to create a calendar named "Blue Project" and then create a Reminder List and name it "Blue Project 2" or some other iteration? This is totally asinine.

"You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29."
Precisely. How is "loss of functionality" progress or an upgrade? Why should I have to install an extension just to get a "reload" button? What a pile of crap. Why not have a "Use shit interface" tickbox in the Options dialogue so people can choose if they want their version of Firefox to have pants functionality?
