They essentially allow you to add, subtract, divide, convert to frames, convert to time-code and whatnot.

It sounds like it might be some sort of tracking of elements based on time-code? If so, belle-nuit plugins would be very useful. To me continuity implies non-jarring cuts, but I don't think thats what you mean. I don't think I understand what you mean by 'building continuities' in this context. As I have the time and the ideas, my FileMaker database gets updated, improved and expanded. My goal is to click one button in Filemaker and skip all the other steps. This is good if there are 100+ clips to process, but a few too many steps for a per card basis.

This get exported as TAB text, converted in AVID LOG EXCHANGE to an ALE and then 'merged with known clips' in Media composer. Shoot date = 130713 (six digit date for July 13, 2013) The calculation is great because it will take various text attributes entered during logging in Media Composer and create unique names (you can write 'formulas' for either text or numbers). In there I can rename all of the files (the production camera is an FS100 which names everything '00000' and so on) by either entering a text description into a Global Field (which will name all files the same) or via a calculation. With regards to the ALE, what I do is export clips from a bin with a specific column setting as TAB separated text.
