Render Checklist / Workflow and Color coding clips in timeline?

[jaydw]

Hello,

I am curious what workflow people use to ensure all clips have been checked for all render eleme the and color corrections/filters/audio sweetening/etc etc

So far I have been exploring with color coding individual clips in the timeline to let me know which clips have been double checked for filters I want to apply for a sequence but curious if anyone uses a particular spreadsheet or what method in general to ensure each clip has been reviewed for all ’needs’ before a final render.

Thanks,

Jay

So far for this project and moving forward as a video hobbyist I am creating a workflow checklist to make sure I have covered all basis, so my plan is to

Make a change to the color of the clip to *blue* for each clip that has been double checked for

-Color correction

-Lighting correction

-Full steady / Warp stabilized

-Audio levels in great shape.

Continuously saving as I go naturally by name1 name2 name 3 etc.

Then saving project as a new name1 new name 2 etc and move to a different color of the clip since premiere crashes on added other effects I decided create the new color *red* for all clips that were double checked for

-Vignette (if desired)

-Overlayed (if desired)

I am looking for peoples workflow for accuracy, I can't tell you how many years I have created videos and said whoops I forgot to do that or adjust that, is there a spreadsheet for projects anyone uses here to double check for accuracy in what all clips are needed before your final render?

Thanks

That sounds like a good way to do stuff.

I made a sheet of paper using columns ( using Word or Quark Express, forget which one ) and it looks sorta like this...

Looks like it should end up being sorta neat and accurate, but in reality I make notes and all sorts of stuff and it sorta becomes full of other info etc.  But this at least gets me through the initial scrubbing and decisions about what clips to use ( or portions of clips) and so on. Rarely ended up using the timecode columns, cause I don't share with others and I can just scrub to find stuff.

Then I also use bins to keep track of what's been totally used ( no portions left to pull out ) and that sort of thing...

I use a different NLE cause I only have CS6 .. and now use Resolve. To see what's up with color and effects I can just go to color page or fusion and see what nodes are there for each clip...

I name the nodes so I know what's been done.

I'm sure things will change as needed... re: using paper lists and colors and bins and whatever works is fine.

I use DaVinci Resolve rather than Adobe software.  Resolve is designed with a logical workflow in mind.

Media (Import and Organize) - Edit - Fusion (Effects) - Color - Fairlight (Audio) - Deliver

I move from left to right through a project, performing each step on it's appropriate page.

On each page, I move through the timeline from beginning to end, making the needed adjustments.  For example, I color the first clip, then the second, then the third, etc.  Once all coloring is done, I move on to Audio work.

You can use a similar work flow in PP, taking advantage of the Workspace Presets, or even creating your own.
