Thank you.
Of course, this doesn’t work because the descriptions aren’t in the metadata. In addition, you would only see that there was a file with the description, but you would not be taken to the position in the arranger window where the clip is.
Also filtering markers does not replace a search. Because I can find the marker number through the filter, but I can no longer see what is in front of and behind it.
A text search doesn’t filter - it shows / points out the position without removing the other markers in the view
So I’m right when I say that the “search” is missing. Filtering doesn’t replace a search because I can no longer read what comes before and after it in the other markers.
Confused here: Then what is the source of the text you are showing? Iirc any text added to description is instantly embedded and therefore searchable in mediabay.
Perhaps you could make a screen capture-video so we can better understand what your workflow and problems are.
That would be very complicated as a film.
I try to explain:
We digitize tapes, vinyl…
For example, a hundred tapes with arround 10 titles per tape are recorded one after the other in a project into a single track. The 100 tapes are then cut into approximately 1,000 titles.
Then the titles are revised/restored.
Each title receives the ISRC number and the title as a description (= Event-Name) from a excel list. To do this, we copy the contents of an Excel table into the descriptions. We mark all audio clips - go to “Rename Events” and simply copy the Excel list in.
So we have 1.000 Event-Names (Descriptions) and 100 marker with the tape-number.
Problem:
Now if the customer says that he wants to have a change to ISRC “GB4TD2200201”, I would have to search for this number in 1.000 Event-Names.
The EventName is not in the MediaBay because it is only a portion of a file that has been cut multiple times and edited multiple times with DOP. This is just hidden in the depths of the project file. I also don’t see a solution using the Logical Editor.
The only way out is to search for the ISRC number in the Excel list and find the tape in the markers.
What we would need is a reworked version of “Rename Events”. So you can basically search in the table.
Addendum:
In Nuendo all events are then marked and played out in one go with “Export - Selected Events”. With the naming scheme “Event Name”, we get all 1000 files with the ISRC number with one click.
