It would be great to be able to drag the SD card folder onto an application that opened the stream folder so you can access the raw mts files. In automator you can use a process called Watch me Do and this basically records your mouse movements and menu options. I have basically run through the usual way, highlighting Private -show package contents, etc. It seems to record all the entries but when I run it, it barfs and falls over at the first Show package contents. I think this would be really useful for the Mac OSX folks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, in getting some sort of automation set up

]]> My 5DtoRGB Automator app http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2439/my-5dtorgb-automator-app Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:41:26 +0000 Brian202020 2439@/talks/discussions I made this Automator app to help me with the copy and prep of H.264 and AVCHD clips for batch transcoding with 5DtoRGB 1.5.3b. I use it with my AF100 and GH2. It will also work with 5D, 7D, etc.

Things you need to utilize the "Launch 5DtoRGB Batch Script" feature:

  1. Rarevision's 5DtoRGB 1.5.3b. http://rarevision.com/5dtorgb/
  2. The Modified 5DtoRGB Batch Script (supplied). The original version was made by Remi SELLO for Noside Production company in France. The modified version also imports .MTS files and not just .MOV files

In order to use the "Launch 5DtoRGB Batch Script" feature of "5DtoRGB copy and prep", "5DtoRGB 1.5.3b" needs to be in the "Applications" folder on your main drive unless you want to modify the 5DtoRGB Batch script. Also you must have the the the "5DtoRGB Batch Script" somewhere on your Mac, preferably on the main drive where Spotlight can easily find it.

What 5DtoRGB copy and prep does:

  1. It will make a 3 folder directory structure based on a card number you input.
  2. It will copy over both upper and lowercase .MTS and .MOV files to the right folder.
  3. It will change lowercase .mov and .mts file extensions to uppercase for 5DtoRGB.
  4. It creates a READ ME.txt file and puts it in with the original clips folder.
  5. After the files copy over, it hides all other open Applications and opens 2 finder windows.
  6. It opens the "Modified 5DtoRGB Batch Script" and is ready to drag over the 2 folders

This was made with my limited Automator experience, so feel free to modify this to your needs or for more efficiency. I believe you can just open with Automator to customize. Enjoy.
