rtwomey Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi, Over the weekend I shot a short film using the Magic Lantern raw hack on a 5D mk III. Everything went perfectly and now I want to make proxies for the director to start his edit. The problem I'm running into this time is spanned 4gb+ files. I used automator to rename all of the files in each card with a naming scheme of r001c0001 and so on. R for roll and C for clip. When I dump all of these files into RawMagic it only see the takes that are in smaller than 4gb or unspanned. I assume by messing with the file naming I've broken the link between the spanned files. Can anyone think of a solution for this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtwomey Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 My solution was to have the director email me screen grabs of his back up so that I could rename the files as they were. How do others deal with renaming their files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtheory Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Why do you need to rename the files? Just drag the raw files ( spanned or not ) from the CF card to RAW Magic and it will extract everything to individual folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtwomey Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Oh I know. I was just trying out the workflow linked in my original post. It gives the files a more standardised naming scheme. One solution I can think of is to format cards is exFat so that they're single files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickHitRecord Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Try this: Then rename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxotics Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Combine first, then rename. Ditto, and I'll elaborate. If the footage is important to you, archive/save the original files. Then develop a workflow from there, always considering you might have to go back to a certain step and start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
