<<Before I record on my miniDV tape, I would stripe my
tape. I find it easier to import my whole tape as one
big file, then go back and splice out the scene I
don't want with the Razor function in PP.>>
---If, by using the term "striping" you are referring to the process of
recording black on the entire tape, you are wasting your time and wearing
out your heads for nothing. Everything is erased as the camera records a
fresh track.
If you are referring to the process of laying down black at the BEGINNING of
the tape, great idea....about 01:30 is sufficient.
<<My problem is if I want to save some of the smaller
clips that I've spliced to reuse later, say in a
different project, how can I save them without having
to save one big file?
Or should I not stripe my tape, then import them in
little clips while letting scene detection help out?
I find scene detection looses track of the time code
if it encounter scene with very short time code, say
two or three second long. Two to three seconds is how
long people are willing to pose for a photographer to
say "1, 2, 3, say cheese!" [Click!] I like to use
these in my movie because they looked almost like
actual photos.>>
----If you are going to do this, you still need to do some "pre-roll" and
"post roll" for the shots.
You might want to try rolling the camera as you get the talent ready to pose
instead of starting the camera just PRIOR to making the shot. Then let the
tape roll for a few seconds AFTER the shot as well.
