Seeking advice on plugin development for syncing and binning
I would like to work on a plugin that will help me sync and organise my drama rushes but I’m not sure about the best way to do this, or if it can even be done. Audio files are all named with episode, scene, shot and take. All audio and video files were recorded with jam synced timecode. The way I envision the plugin working is as follows:
- Audio files are sorted into bins based on scene number.
- Video files with timecodes corresponding to the audio files are pulled into the relevant bins, too.
- In each bin, video and audio files are laid out on the timeline, arranged in order of shot. Files which are of the same shot but different take are separated by a small gap, in between file groups of the same shot there is a larger gap.
- Video and audio files are synced by timecode. (Or perhaps 3 and 4 could be flipped, with multicam source sequences being created first before everything is arranged on the timeline?)
Does anyone have advice on the best way to accomplish these 4 tasks, or if it can even be done?
Many thanks!
