    finding related precomputes

    Hi, i am wondering if there is a way to find specefic precomputes.

     

    Example - Using timewarp, an effect was applied and rendered. is there a way to find the specefic associated precomutes to that clip in the timeline?

     

    thanks

    Damon

     Not from the timeline, unfortunately, but you could load the media tool with only pre-computes selected for the current project. Not in front of my Avid right now, but I think in the newer versions the media files have the effect type in the name. And if you know a specific day and time you created a specific effect, you could use that to narrow the search.

    You can also subsequence just the bit of the timeline that contains the Timewarp, and with Media Tool showing precomputes, select Media Relatives of subsequenced sequence, and delete what is highlighted in Media Tool.

    I'm not in the MC at the moment, but couldn't you set your bin display to show effects/referenced clips, select the Timewarp effect and do a Reveal File?

     Thanks kenton, you may be right, that seems to be the easiest way and it should work.

     

    Thanks!

    Re: finding related precomputes

    And if you want to load precomputes into the source monitor to check that you've selected those you want, type:

       subsys monpane debug

    in the console.  Then you can load precomputes into the source monitor....

    Re: finding related precomputes

    However, if you use the work around in this thread, unlike "subsys monopane..." the precompute will be loaded to the source monitor INTACT in a single layer, just the way you want it. You can then extend the clip in either direction to it's full duration, if desired. And it takes all of about 10 seconds to do.

    Re: finding related precomputes

     Thank everyone, the main reason i'm asking is because there are certain timewarp effects that we've rendered and converted to progressive.

    But we need to delete all those renders and re-render them as interlaced so they will convert fine in magic Bullet.

    so reveal file i think in a prior post seems to be the easiest if i'm understanding it correctly?

     

    thanks again
