Creating the DCP
4.2 Finalize Settings – Naming and Storage Options
With the project prepared for the creation of the DCP you can now be-
gin to set up the DCP finalizing:
y Call up the finalize dialog of CLIPSTER (menu Project » Final-
ize…).
y Next choose a name and storage location for the finalized files
according to your project’s needs.
Figure 4-3: File name and storage location
With this the file naming and storage location are determined. Next you
have to continue with section “Finalize Settings – File and Video For-
mat” on page 4-7 and set the video format for the DCP.
Excursus Name Options
In CLIPSTER you can get variable file names that will write certain de-
tails of your DCP automatically to the file names of, for example, the
MXF files during finalizing. To enable the variable file names in the fi-
nalize dialog you have to perform the following first:
y Select as the file format for the video output the entry DC MXF.
This will automatically set the audio file format to DC MXF as well and
the N
AME OPTIONS… button and its check box will be made available
in the finalize dialog.
y Then click on the N
AME OPTIONS… button.
To set the file name(s) you can also use a variable naming
with the button NAME OPTIONS… (see “Excursus Name Op-
tions” below).
The items for a variable naming will be available only when in
all activated finalize outputs DC MXF is selected as the file for-
mat. Please note that this behavior will change with coming
CLIPSTER versions, where the variable naming will be generally
available for files written to the storage.
