Default Tape field Enter a tape name if you want to override the default tape ID when saving an EDL.
Source clips are assigned tape IDs when loaded using the Clip VTR Input or through the Conform tab. For
example, an edit that uses a clip created with the Colour Corrector does not have a tape ID. When the EDL
is generated, the clip is given the tape ID in the Default Tape field.
Audio Patch Comments button Enable to allow clip audio patching comments to be included in the
generated EDL.
Use Tape Name Extension button Enable to support long tape names (more than 8 characters) through
the use of DLEDL extensions. This option and Use Long Tape Name are mutually exclusive.
This adds a list to the end of the EDL that shows the relationship between a abbreviated tape name (8
characters, maximum) used in the EDL and the actual tape name (52 characters, maximum).
Use Long Tape Name button Enable to support long tape names (more than 8 characters) in-place, without
truncation or DLEDL-style name extensions. This option and Use Tape Name Extension are mutually
exclusive.
Publishing an AAF Sequence
Use AAF export when you want to share a sequence with third-party applications. The AAF Export generates
a simplified sequence that can be used in third-party application for creative editorial, colour correction,
media management, etc. You can have a metadata-only or a metadata and media files publish.
Exporting an AAF allows video editorial interchange between Autodesk products and third-party applications
supporting the AAF protocol.
The exported AAF file can be imported into the following applications:
■ Avid Media Composer (version 8 and later)
■ Avid ProTools 12.2
■ DaVinci Resolve (version 11 and later)
■ Filmlight Baselight
■ Flame Family applications
■ Autodesk Smoke
Not all the information part of the sequence can be published in an AAF. Look at the Limitations section
to generate an AAF compatible with what you want to accomplish.
To publish a sequence as an AAF and export its media:
1 Do one of the following:
■ Right-click the sequence to export and select Export. And then, using the Media Export window,
navigate to the clip's destination.
■ From the MediaHub, drag-and-drop the file from the Media panel to the location displayed in the
browser.
2 Set Export Type to Sequence Publish.
3 Set Format Preset to one of the AAF presets.
4 Click Export.
Smoke prepares the export job. Once that preparation is done, Smoke performs the export in the
background. You are free to use the application as the export happens.
