Currently there is no send to playback at 59.94P, so we have to file export to scan folder to get files to EVS for playout.
Advantage to this workflow was that we could use, for the first time in anger, ‘insert edit export’. This was great.
We had to fix our highlights show - 3 little paints in a 12 minute segment. Drop ins take seconds, rather than an 8 minute export.
Caveats:
Insert edit export always defaults to export all tracks - you can modify in options to 'selected tracks' but beware:
a. clicking OK in this option menu goes straight to exporting
b. the 'selected' video tracks are exported as-is (i.e. select one video track and that is effectively soloed, tracks below are not output)
c. Exported audio appears to *only* be direct out (limited to number of tracks in file being inserted to). So my accidental audio insert to stereo master was just fx (timeline tracks 1&2) without the commentary (timeline track 3). This would be ok in 5.1/5.1.4 workflow as we’d have had to do a multiple mixdown->direct out export for original file.
d. You have to choose ‘selected tracks’ every time, it always defaults to all tracks
Feature requests:
More visual indication on what is going on with export (what tracks are going to be inserted, what audio configuration is being used).
Remove ‘use marks’ from options menu as it is redundant
OK in options menu should labelled ‘export’
Cancel in options menu shouldn’t cancel whole export
Setting to always export using selected tracks
Selected video shouldn’t solo, should be all tracks below
Should be an option to insert edit export as mono/stereo/direct etc
Should be an export option (also for straight file export) for audio to be exported ‘as monitored’
