-What’s going to happen:
-Tell Flame what the sequence is going to be (bring in the metadata - XML, AAF, EDL, etc)
-Tell Flame where the footage is - start with the camera raw preferably to get the most metadata
-Organize the footage in the timeline by setting the resolution, color science and naming things
-Make governing timelines - Sources Sequence then Shots Sequence
-Link the footage to the timeline
-Export to create media for use in the job (never Original Camera footage!)
-Reformat the exported footage and create the first versions to enable deeper links with the publish metadata and the project
-(2 archives are created - one is shared one is for your box)
