Mick Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Am I missing something? Why do I have to scroll through every scene number I've Ever entered into the 788 in order to enter a new one? Hard to imagine why they Wouldn't at least alphabetize them making them easier to find, or is there a procedure I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Anderson Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Are you always "adding a new entry" or "renaming"? Personally, I keep a list of episodes as that's how I label my shots. So I'll have 101-33G, 102-4K, etc. Each representing the last shot we filmed in that episode. If we go back and reshoot a previous episode, I just rename the last one for that episode.

Mick Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah but they still dont group in any chronological order, I dont think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Yeah but they still dont group in any chronological order, I dont think I think chronologically is exactly the order they sort in, but not alphabetically. But I haven't resaerched it... I just use the last scene name that was in the same format and rename it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't use the scene numbers, I do, but not that way... I name once each day and let them count up one at a time. But... if I did, I would look at the scenes we were to do at the beginning of the day... take a moment to add those to the "list" then pull them up as we did them that day.... I would NOT keep a ton on the list. I would clear them each from time to time..... Or, simply rename as you go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkautzsch Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Did the "add new entry" way when I started out, giving me a loooong list. Now my list has exactly three items: standard scene-take, wild take, background/roomtone. Each gets renamed for whichever scene we're shooting. It's even faster when using a keyboard shortcut.

That's basically what I do. A few files, one with just number, a few with FX, WT, etc. It's so fast to edit them, I don't even think about it any more.

studiomprd Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Mick: " Am I missing something? " Have you asked about this on the SD users' forum ?? have you contacted SD tech support ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bralleput Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Mick contacted JW forum. A good start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Anderson Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Mick contacted JW forum. A good start! Definitely a good start. Why not start with the more popular choice than the SD forum? I would think you'd get many more opinions here. Maybe even an opinion that you shouldn't bother utilizing Jeff's site. But to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark LeBlanc Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Every day I delete the previous days scenes and start fresh every day. If I need to reference something in the past it's in Movieslate app or still on the main drive. keeps my main scene list nice and quick.
