So i don't know if i've spoken of this before or not but i'll go ahead and explian it just in case i didn't. When i captured all the footage 2 years ago in final cut, i followed the file path that the window suggested. so all my files where named according to Scene, Shot, Take. The file path suggested is this SceneNumber_Shot/Take. So in example, this is the file for scene 283 shot 4 take 2: 283_4/2. well most technical people know that back splashes are file path and programing formating or something like that but i guess i'm not most people. after all it was suggested by final cut! anyway, so these files worked absolutly fine for 2 years....until...Sound track. when i worked in sound track, after spending days and days making the project files, whenever i alted a file, the / in the file caused an error and it wouldn't save. IT WOULDN'T SAVE!!!! Grady and I figured out that if we went into the operating system and altered the name of the file to something like 283_4--2 and then reconnected the file then saved, closed the project then reopened it, we could then save our progress for that particular file. Well, with 1180 somewhat files that got really really really annoying, so i decided to fix them all. It took me 9 hours. I had to go and manually change the file name for all 1180 somewhat files so that none had a / in them. then i had to manualy reconect each file in final cut to it's original source file with a new name. after that i had to sent the sequenses to sound track and cut and paste each of the new sequences with the correctly linked files back into the original project files with the ADR synced and such. it was a giant pain in the ass. i'm only half way done right now with cutting and pasting but it's not that bad. so FUCK YOU SLASHIE!!!
