Help! Export All Clips to Separate Folder -- HOW?

[Chris Conlee]

Hello Everybody,

I'm pulling a gazillion VFX plates using an EDL from Avid Media Composer. Redcine-X is perfect. It quickly accepts my EDL and links to the R3D files on the drive. So far so good. But what I want to do now is have every single clip on my timeline (each one represents a different VFX plate) save into a consecutively named folder, ie: folder001, folder002, folder003, folder004, etc.

I will manually reference the EDL later and change the folder names to my VFX reference numbers. But right now, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make Redcine-X do this. Instead it saves all clips into bins named with the R3D fille name, and if multiple plates are pulled from the same R3D file they end up in the same folder. Man, that adds tremendously to my work, if I have to go sort them all out.

Please, somebody tell me it's possible to just simply save the consecutive shots into consecutively named folders. Surely it is, and I'm not the only person in the world who needs this functionality?

thanks a million in advance.

I'm having a similar problem, in that in older versions of Redcine, when using the 'sub-folder per clip' option with the Unique name option, it would correctly put two different clips that used the same red media in two different folders. For example, it would make A027_C001_05121P for the first clip, then A027_C001_05121P_S001 for the second clip. Now, it puts everything in one folder A027_C001_05121P.

How can I get it to go back to the way it was before? This is very annoying when doing DPX outputs, since instead of having a folder with each clip's dpx files in it, there's now one folder with all the DPX files in it.
