6.7.1 General Settings
When performing a finalizing you have to specify some general set-
tings, such as the storage information and some timeline settings, first.
They can be made with the settings items at the top of the window to
configure a finalizing:
Figure 6-70: The general settings
In the entry field Filename enter the name of the clip to be generated.
You may also click on the button to the right of this entry field ( ) to
select an already existing file.
However, instead of the entry field to set the file name you may also
use the Name Options items to the right. With them you can endow
the file name with variable information. Further information about this
can be found in section “Name Options” on page 6-90.
With the combo box Render from you can select whether the whole
timeline (All) or the timeline stretch between the set in- and outpoint
only (In/Out) should be rendered. If In/Out is selected but no in-
and outpoint is defined in the timeline, the whole timeline will be ren-
dered.
With the combo box Generic timecode you select the timecode type
that should be written as the source timecode into the files (if supported
by the file format). During finalizing the selected timecode will then be
written as the source timecode to the location in the files’ headers es-
pecially reserved for that kind of metadata. Afterwards the finalized clip
will contain the selected source timecode and it can then be used by ap-
plications that support source timecode. The following settings are
available:
Notation: Standard file names of the Windows operating sys-
tem, i.e. do not use the following characters:
% / \ : * ? " < > |
Furthermore, leave out the file extension.

The internal timecode of the Edit Tool’s timeline
is written to the correct location in the file
headers, i.e. afterwards the internal timecode
of the timeline is provided by the files as their
source timecode.
