Dropbox Replay and Avid Media Composer
It is essential to make Dropbox Replay compatible with Avid Media Composer Adobe Premiere Pro is very useful for small and medium productions. DaVinci resolve is mainly used for color grading. Sometimes in editing. But when it comes to large productions, involving multiple collaborations such as VFX and compositing houses, using softwares like Nuke or Silhouette, we enter a different league. They all, without exception, use the MXF file format. So far, MC is the only software that does not use linked files. Everything is imported into a specific folder, transcoded into MXF, separated from the sources, which makes it the most stable system in the world. A solid rock. For all these reasons, I strongly suggest that Dropbox Replay include Avid Media Composer in the list of compatible editing softwares. Thank you, guys! Martin Julien - Senior Post Production Editor
Replay Version Stacking
Version stacking process should be simplified. Currently, you have to select the file > go to the drop down menu > select "new version" > choose the directory > select the new file > click "upload." This is very time consuming when working with 100's of images with multiple versions. Ideally, I would drag and drop all the revised files into the web browser > wait for the upload to finish > sort by name > click and drag the new version over top of the old version. Frame.io does a great job of this exact process. Could you please replicate it!
Copy/Reference Comments On Older Version in New Version
Something that would really be helpful would to be to optionall overlay/copy the comments of older versions onto a new version. Here's the use case: I'm working on a video and we get some comments from a client to change a specific shot or edit something at a timecode. We make the change, and upload the new version. We need to continue talking about or reference this comment to keep the conversation going about this specific change. As it stands right now, all old comments are lost with new versions – you can switch to the older version but clients aren't going to do that and it doesn't really make sense. So currently we have to go in and find that change at the specific time, make a new comment to keep the conversation going. When you have very long videos this gets tedious. It would be great to somehow copy over that comment from that specific user or reference it somehow, instead of it completely being locked in older versions. This would also be useful for times when a new reviewer steps in and has no idea what has been done or why. Or when we have long videos and just need to pinpoint a specific time. The ability to reference older comments/notes would be great. Basically we need to be able to compare old/new versions in one place.
