Field Recorder Workflow
Quick question, does it matter how many folders deep wav files are buried for the indexing to drill down into them?
I've just received a new AAF and field recorder workflow is not working correctly on this one. When I index my Sound Rushes folder the indexing is almost instant. Can it really be looking at all the files in that time? This is a feature film, so a lot of files. Thanks Ps I'm using 2018.1 (not in my sig yet)

Re: Field Recorder Workflow
It tends to be quicker with match criteria than with timecode. Not sure though as far as I know it will search which ever folder you index.

Re: Field Recorder Workflow
Thanks Melloj,
Hmm, So if you change the match criteria to just timecode, will it re-index based on that?

Re: Field Recorder Workflow
To be honest I'm not sure, but it seems to do a more thorough search. If you've not seen it I'd suggest Paul Maunders video on youtube he covers the work flow in detail. You might find thd answer your looking for.

Below is a copy paste of a tried and trusted workflow. The relevant bit is the first bit. It's best to start with a fresh index without any session open. If that doesn't work there may be an issue with your files. With no session open, delete the index of the soundrolls folder in the workspace. Then index the soundrolls folder in the workspace and wait until it finishes in the task window (This should not be instant) Then open the AAF Delete all fades (Edit menu) Make one new blank track and make it a "field recorder guide track". Name the track "1" Make the "Match criteria" Scene and Take ticked. Other productions may require different settings but this works 99% of the time. "Select Areas to Search" and add the soundrolls folder then "Save" (Not "Save & Index" as this can cause a crash) Wait whilst it thinks for a while Move up the contents of track 1 of the AAF to the this new track. Again, Pro Tools may need a while to think about things here. Expand to new tracks by match criteria Repeat for the other tracks Save and close Temporarily rename the Avid media folder so the session cant find any Avid media Reopen session. All Avid media will be offline, good, don't relink "Select offline" in the clip list then "Clear selected" You're left with just the soundrolls on the timeline Tidy up a bit (Delete all automation) Some productions may require a "fix sync" (using Titan if you have it) depending on the recorder used Cherry on the cake - Use "Defaulter" plug-in

Re: Field Recorder Workflow
Interesting Simon thanks.
There's a couple of steps there that I've not used and I have done this on several films with great success, but not this one for some reason. Thanks for sending the thorough step by step, I'll give it another go when I get a minute. Cheers
