[ re tape logging / scene detection ]

Yes, and ideally what I want is software that will capture without scene
logging,

You mean (suede) scene splitting, some don't split the capture into
separate
clips and non of them log the tape [1] - they just give each 'clip' a
unique
name, unless there is RT user supervision.

[1] logging is giving each clip / 'film' rush a unique name, an in and out
point (and hence a running time) together with a description of the clips
content and any other comment such as the video track is crap but the
audio
track is good.


Yes, sorry I'm mixing up my terminologies, and I do mean not actually
splitting the clip into smaller physical clips (which is a pain in the arse
as soon as it goes a bit odd) but simply referencing each 'scene' in the
master clip somehow.

Anyway, after a couple of hours play on Premiere this evening using a 'non
scene detected' clip I'm well impressed with the interface and means of
editing and don't think that scene detection would add anything or save
time. I've been using a trial of Premiere Pro but I'm assuming that the
interface will be similar to Premiere Elements (which I'll download to try
tommorrow).
