Timecode Metadata

[Kit Garchow]

Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to copy and paste some of the metadata such as timecode start and stop from Redcine-X into say an excel file for data purposes. Sorry if someone else has already tried this before, but I couldn't find it. Thanks and have a good day.

Sincerely,

I use the ALE export since it is essentally a TAB based file that opens in Excel. Maybe that will work for you, or do you want to selectively select which clips?

I'm not actually too familiar with that export.

But what I'm trying to do is...hmm how to word it. I would love to be able to just select a roll folder and just copy all timecode information over to my excel sheet from that roll folder, for all the takes, but i think that is probably impossible haha, so I'm just trying now to be able to highlight or copy the timecode information without individually typing out all of the timecode. I'd like to find a way to highlight within the metadata bar or whatever you want to call it and copy and paste that into my timecode in and out or start and stop bars in excel. Is that possible?

I didn't really explain that all too well :banghead: but I hope you kind of get what I'm saying. Thanks

Sincerely,

Clipfinder would be able to do that for each selected batch, as well as REDRUSHES with an ALE export or comma delimited.

The Redrushes tools for Automator will do this. Specifically the redCSV tool. I've used it to create a CSV file of clips and their start timecode, then use A Better Finder Rename to rename folders worth of rendered clips with the timecode in the name.
