When some people don't care about metadata. They just "convert" making a new file taking out original file metadata information do the offline edit and sound. Later at the very last stage realise the blunder instead of "transcode" which only implies changing of codec, compressing the clips to reduce compute lag (stress on CPU) and keeping metadata intact with metadata burn ins overlay with right font size which helps.
During DI people learn their mistakes. People call me like it will be a instant solution. But I have to find a methodology based on the project complexity and number of takes and visually match the clips frame by frame also making sure it sync's with the sound.
P.S - It's all about figuring out and getting started. Mistakes will teach you.
