if the source media frame rate is 24 fps, you can choose between 23.98 and 24 in this
drop-down.

File Naming When You
Consolidate Media
When you’re media managing clip-based formats like QuickTime or MXF, if the “Trim Used
Media” option is on, and the “Consolidate Multiple Edit Segments Into One Media File”
checkbox is off, then timelines that use multiple clips derived from the same media file will
generate multiple trimmed media files. To prevent these files from overwriting one another,
additional characters are appended to each trimmed media file coming from the same source;
which characters are used depends on the video format.
For DPX files: _0, _1
For R3D files: _S000.RDC, _S001.RDC
For QuickTime files: _S000.mov, _S001.mov
