I've just begun to realize the power of scripts as a new user to V-4. Very cool.... There are a couple of things that would speed up my editing life and figured this group would either know if they exist or someone might consider creating them (I'm not a programmer, unforunately!).
Idea #1: Ability to print selected columns from the Media Pool (or save files as .csv / .xls to be used from Excel). After batch capturing tapes, I like to have a printed reference of what's on each tape (Capture Comments, timecode I/O, clip name, etc).
Idea #2: This one is a little harder to describe.... I shoot videos for a web site. Often each clip needs to be trimmed, encoded 3 ways (.wmv, .mov & .rm) and uploaded (picture 10 sec action clips of racing). Is there a way to streamline this process (the batch render script is a HUGE help, but only does part of what I need). Essentially, if I put all of the clips that I needed to process on the timeline, the script would need to encode each clip in the three formats and ftp them off to the server (ok - the last part might be a stretch.... what would I do with all of my time....?). A workaround is to make a .veg file for each clip and use the batch project rendering script but that seems cumbersome (especially when dealing with 60 or so clips per race).
Thanks for your thoughts!
