Frequently Asked Questions
Product
Do I have to leave my NLE environment to use Chop Chop?
No, Chop Chop runs within Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. You don’t have to leave your NLE or import .xml files or anything like that.
What happens to video files which have no corresponding audio files, or audio files which have no corresponding video files?
Video files with no corresponding audio files will be placed in the ‘Not synced’ folder (Premiere Pro) or the ‘Episode None’ folder (Resolve). Look in this folder for things like pick-up shots, drone footage, underwater shots and so forth.
Audio files with no corresponding video files will be still be placed in the correct folder and timeline, so as long as they are named correctly, atmos tracks can be easily located.
What happens if I have footage filmed with varying frame rates?
Each timeline will adopt the framerate of the first video file to be placed on the timeline. When filming, framerate affects timecode sync. It is thus recommended that all cameras jam synced to a piece of audio adopt the same framerate. Shots taken with different framerates can be recorded separately and, if not tied to any audio files, can be retrieved from the ‘not synced’/’Episode None’ folder.
Is there a workaround for wrongly named audio files?
If information such as episode numbers is missed out or wrong, use a free bulk renamer (Windows) or the native rename function on a Mac to quickly add or change multiple file names. Or, use Chop Chop Sync and Bin’s ‘manually enter identifiers’ function to help it along!
Can I place different days’ footage on different tracks?
Yes. Chop Chop Sync and Bin uses source folder names to create tracks. To place different days’ footage on different tracks, place the files in source folders with different names e.g. Day1/camA_day1 and Day2/camA_day2. To place them on the same track, place the file in the source folders with the same names e.g. Day1/camA and Day2/camA.
