Not sure I understand the first point, like you have to have a v02 before you can bring in a v01?
I’ve never used it in batch but the media hub version doesn’t work like that.
Edit because I hit send too fast!
I use pattern browse clips when I’m working on longer form projects (to me “longer form” is longer than like 3 minutes). It’s always annoying in one way or another but works ok if the naming gets respected by everyone else.
Aren’t we just talking about doing this though? Or am I really not getting this?
EDIT: Ignore the .clip suffix, they are not clip files, it’s just an example of convergent evolution.
