Way to get Batch Conform list?

[Trevor_Asq]

When on lining a PP sequence is there a way/tool to strip out the source files used? Currently I’m having to export EDLs and parse the data therein.

Why do I want it? To copy the required media from full res backups to conform.

thanks

If I understand correctly, you're wanting to create new, full res media matching only the sections of the original media actually used in a sequence?

Hi Jim

I’m actually after a Conform list of used source files.

I can then use a program to batch copy those file, with folder structure, to a fast drive for the Conform. (Not sure why iPhones capitalises conform!)

Be great to be able to do it with timecodes and just copy relevant sections with handles, but current manual method works OK and has advantage of being a good archive of the show in case of future revisions

I’m actually after a Conform list of used source files.

The only way I can think of to get that is via XML, AAF or EDL.

Mmm thought as much. Get the list if you ‘link files’ on the sequence but no way to capture that info that I can see.. maybe with extend script?

I've no experience with that.  Sorry.

I’ve managed to get close hacking with extend script but this looks like it would work.

Adobe could offer something similar pretty easily - essential for conforming and handy for music reporting / archive ordering & reporting / checking speeds / frame rates / frame sizes etc. Basically a csv export (rather than have to pay a third party to parse the info from an xml)
