We have noticed our work flow increasing greatly with the ARRI Alexa but find ourselves not needing all of the media when ingesting into our system (Baselight). I know that Rubber Monkey Extract works directly with R3D to copy only selects from an edl and source drive to whatever the destination drive is. Is there a program for the ARRI Alexa as well that is currently being used? It would be great to cut down on the excess footage and allowing us to just utilize the selects from an edl. I searched high and low to find any information regarding a program for such a task and unfortunately I was unsuccessful. If someone has already posted regarding this issue please let me know where I can locate that thread.
Thanks,
DJ

Hi, DJ.
What kind of media are you working with? ProRes or ARRIRAW?

We're basically looking for a program much like monkey extract that will only copy the select files based on an edl from one drive to another...

As long as you are working with ProRes, which is the only supported/official workflow as of today, I think that a media managed project from FCP will give you a folder with the source material used in the edit. I donīt know Avid very well, but I assume that it can also consolidate used media to a new directory.
For a ProRes to RAW finish, the GlueTools solution (in FCP) seems like a solution worth looking at.
Cheers,
Fred

You can use resolve to export the selects you manually put into your time line and carry over the source file naming. I don't think it will sub divide it into separate reel folders, although I could be wrong about this and just missed the setting.
Silvertack will only allow you to manually select clips to copy, so that's not an auto process.
Have you tried to use rubber monkey to select the source quick times to copy from the edl? Maybe it will work?

Hello DJ,
I would recommend Resolve Lite. It's free, you are able to conform from EDL and as Micheal mentioned above you can also make selections manually and export everything to dpx.
A sub divide into reel and/or shot folders is possible with Resolve. Just select "source" and use the "commercial workflow" in the rendering mode.
The Resolve lite version really is a great tool for conforming pretty much any Format in Post like Alexa, Phantom or even RED files.
We use it all the time here in our Posthouse...
Florian

grep -o '\<[[:alnum:]]\{8\}_[[:alnum:]]\{6\}_[[:alnum:]]\{4\}' /Volumes/Video/completeEDL.edl | sort | uniq > /Users/johndoe/Desktop/EDLFILES.txt this terminal command will give you a unique list of the filenames in the edl. you can feed this to a find and rsync command instead of the txt file... anyone finding the rest of the command?  rainer |
