Pro Tools Reference Guide300
TC Rate This column displays the frame rate of the
item if the item is an AAF sequence or an OMF se-
quence or file: 24, 25, 29.97, 30, drop or non-drop.
For sequences, the frame rate at the start of the se-
quence is displayed.
Channel Names Displays the channel name and
number data embedded in multichannel audio
files. You can edit the Channel name for mono
BWF files only. When editing the channel name,
anything entered in parentheses is discarded. How-
ever, the channel number will always be preserved.
Scene Displays scene number data embedded in
audio files.
Take Displays take number data embedded in au-
dio files.
Shoot Date Displays origination date and time in-
formation embedded in audio files. However,
many field recorders do not populate the Shoot
Date field, relying instead on the file’s Creation
Date to indicate date of production. When
Pro Tools imports a field recorder file, it checks to
see if the Shoot Date field is populated. If it is
empty, Pro Tools copies the Creation Date of the
original source file to the Shoot Date field of the
new imported files. This field cannot be edited.
Sound Roll Displays sound roll number data (This
data is usually named “Tape” in BWF files, but is
distinct from the date displayed in the DigiBase
Tape column). This field cannot be edited.
Sound Roll TC Displays the starting timecode of
audio files. This field cannot be edited.
Sound Roll TC Rate Displays the frame rate infor-
mation embedded in audio files: 24, 25, 29.97, 30,
drop or non-drop. This field cannot be edited.
User Bits Displays text information embedded in
audio files. This field can be used for user com-
ments, or auto-generated info with certain field re-
corders.
Tape ID Displays tape ID information embedded in
audio files. This field cannot be edited.
Project Displays the project name data embedded
in audio files.
Circled Indicates if the status of a take is set to “cir-
cled” (No or Yes) in audio files. This is usually for
indicating which take should be used.
Plug-In Name Displays the name of the plug-in for
Plug-In Settings files (.txf).
Plug-In Manufacturer Name Displays the plug-in
manufacturer’s name for Plug-In Settings files
(.txf).
Link Path Displays the path to the file used for re-
linking. Available in the Relink window only.
Clip Name Displays the name of the file, or the
Avid clip name when the item is an AAF or OMF
file. The Clip Name is what appears in the Time-
line and Clip List when a file is imported into a ses-
sion. This field can be edited in Catalogs only, and
can be generated using either of the Copy Com-
ments to Clip Name commands in the Browser
menu (see “Additional DigiBase Commands in
Catalogs” on page 296).
