He created a masterpiece, artfully executed. He painstakingly went through editing his videos often using the same clip over and over again, using segments from these clips in various places, adding dissolves between each, along with keyframed colour correction, and various other methods of video routing in layer type fashion using the Blend effect, and even implemented various croppings and pannings to make the video feel like a magazine. He was a master videographer, and did the shoot in minimal takes, mostly long clips that just needed some editing. Scenario: Joey Photo has just completed a video shoot for a high end magazine commercial.

After all is said and done, he may just have been better off re-rendering it. In addition to reapplying all the effects, and keyframes, his newly added clip wasn't routed correctly, so he now has to go into the video router and re-route all the wires. Re-import the clip, remove the work he already completed, and do it all over again. He is left with only one option at this juncture.

Dreading the 4 day render again, he proceed to make a new edit, then exported it as an mp4, only to realise that his original clip was an image sequence. After much trial and error of adding more keyframes and an additional 3d DVE effect he realised the only way to solve this problem was to either re-render the entire scene, or to bring into a new edit, apply a mask, or 3dDVE effect to the clip, taking the particle out of the clip. After exporting for preview, he noticed that in 0.29 seconds of the clip, one of the particles was out of place.

After the full render, he proceeded to import into his timeline, and added 20 -30 keyframes into various effects. Scenario: Johnny galaxy just spent 4 days rendering the milky way in a 3d program, which on average took about 10 minutes a frame to construct over 7 million particles. I went ahead and photoshopped these into the interface in the hopes it may be easier to grasp. It would take me considerable time to explain the current need for this, and how it can drastically effect workflow, so for the time being I will simply leave that open to inquiries and discussion if needed below, but will also provide 1 example scenario per feature solution.Ī couple ways to implement came to mind, that I hope would be very easy to integrate.

I think this ability/feature which is commonly found in audio tracking/editing software would not only translate well to a video editor, but could be a real time saver for many editors such as myself who are making image sequences and videos in non competing alternate software, such as Blender 3d, Maya, 3ds Max, and others. I would like to propose an easy way to replace individual media files, that upon execution would simply replace the source media with a new file, while leaving all edits within the timeline, effects, references, edits, etc.
