Detecting Duplicates

  1. Switch to Dupes mode.

  2. Drop one or more sequence XML or EDL files onto the drop zone. You can add files from multiple episodes.

  3. Click Scan. SequenceSuite builds a clip index and cross-references every source timecode range.

  4. Results appear grouped by clip. Each group shows every timeline and record timecode where that source clip appears.

The results table has two levels:

  • Clip group — the source reel and the overlapping timecode range shared across uses.
  • Uses — each individual appearance, with the timeline name, record in/out, and which file it came from.

Click a clip group to expand it and see all uses. Export the full results to XLSX via the Export button.

ModeBehaviour
StrictClips must share an exact source-in overlap
LooseClips sharing any portion of the same source reel are flagged

Use Strict for delivery QC. Use Loose for music or rights research.
