In a perfect world,
every client who brings me a project would have every media file perfectly organized and placed in logical folders on one drive... perhaps they asked me before the edit
in the real world I'm not always a part of the workflow until I'm hired
and of course I get jobs spread out over many drives, USB sticks, and dropbox (shudder)...
so being able to track down Offline Media is very important
but currently the tools are sparse and in some cases broken..
I do like being able to see all my clips in the lightbox (yay!)
but there are other ways we might need to find materials (and different kinds!)
1- there is no column listing for media being Offline
this means I can't search for it in a project, no smartbin can be created ...
--> offline media smart bin -- yes please..
2 - there seems to be no way to understand if any non video media is off line..
so no way to know if audio is offline or not...
this is very important if I'm working on a conform and color correct job...
( I'm a fan of having an audio tone for offline audio media - as FCP7 did )
(or what would the audio version of lightbox look like?
3 - Buried away in the "Edit Index" there is a selector for "Show Offline Clips Only"
currently in 12.5b3 if I select that I get nothing in the created list - even though I have offline clips.
this seems to be a BUG...
perhaps I'm not understanding how that works..
thanks
and thanks for letting us (the rabble) at least have a place to bring sme of these issues up
peace
