Replace Footage - limits: no [Cancel] and not [replace the multimedia browser]

Unless I missed something (quite possible)...

It would be good to see the following improvements to the first CC:

  • [Sequence replace] must be included in the list [Cancel].
  • [Replace with the selected item in the media browser] to add as an option when you replace a component in the [project] pane.

Why is it useful:

For example: I started with a timeline of first CC images XDCAM EX clips.   Images XDCAM-EX requires careful treatment because it's based and calibrated, largely as AVCHD file structure.  To get these images correctly in the first, it is necessary to use the media browser and not simply to drag in files 'essence', namely [.mp4] files (within this file structure).  It's ok to drag it from the media to the component of the project browser, because this operation recognizes all relevant information in the file structure, a unique at the highest level clip that matches more than one file [.mp4], maybe extends on back.  This method saves the user details.

OK so far

Then, I chose such an item in the projects pane and [clip > RightClick > replace footage] him substituting an improved copy (which was a [.avi] file encoded using the Cineform-GoPro "visually lossless" codec).  Which is very successful.

If still ok.

But then (as dark clouds gathered...), complete experience, I tried to [Cancel].  But he didn't... cancel the [sequence replace] that is.  Doesn't seem unreasonable for me and certainly not convenient.  Imagine in real life, if only after a replacement that some problems with the replacement film was noticed (or, hypothetically. If the first treated in some unexpected way).  Any undo!   Gah!

Workaround is not simply a matter of fact another [replace sequences] in the part of the project, because that opens a file Explorer, there no option to use the selected item in the media browser.  Also it is not possible to select the original film of XDCAM-EX appropriately, only a single file such as the file of gasoline [.mp4].  And it would be a bad idea, especially for a clip split (on several files [.mp4].  Hmm...

That let him bypass clunkier to reimport the original film via the media browser, so it appears in the part of the project, then by selecting, then down to each individual instance of it at the level of the timeline, and in each case [replace with clip] from [bin], that is, the original footage in the project pane.  In addition, while all the metadata (for example "newspaper Notes") on the original (before replacing) item be transferred to the replacement sequence, that the metadata are not "inherited" from fresh importation of the same origin of the film, so if necessary then it must be entered or copied manually on the whole.  Ugh!

Thus, improvements to the first proposed at the beginning of the year would be a good idea?

However, when I clicked on [see] it has a fresh window, who acted as an ordinary file browser, not as the appropriate media (part) browser.

Hmmm.  Show me, post a screenshot.
