CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
– Cut lists without source in- and outpoints will be automatically pro-
vided with this information by the DVS software. They will be cal-
culated from the data available in the list. However, this information
may require manual adaptation.
– To add the EDL to the timeline, the frame rate of the video format
of the timeline must match the frame rate of the imported EDL. For
this you can either set the timeline’s frame rate to the frame rate of
the EDL or convert the timecodes of the EDL to another frame rate.
Please observe a possible drop-frame timecode as well.
Conforming with Header Data
– When autoconforming on a connected storage (Disk Online)
with the setting Source TC (in header), make sure that the
default source timecode (setting Default source TC) is set cor-
rectly in the timecode settings of the Configuration Tool (see “CLIP-
STER Configurations” user guide for more information). If not set
correctly, a conforming will always fail.
– To be successful the frame rate detailed in the header data should
match the frame rate of the EDL.
– DVS stores in the headers of *.dpx image files at a location for
user-defined data the reel (tape) names. To avoid conflicts due to
identical source timecodes/keycodes, this information can be used
for a conforming to distinguish between different reels. However,
files created by other systems may not provide reel names in their
headers. Then a search for reel names should be either deactivated
or limited to the folder or file names.
– Via Spycer you can take a look at the header data provided by the
files to determine, for example, that the appropriate source time-
codes/keycodes, frame rate or reel names are available. If required,
the header data can be adjusted.
Conforming with the SpycerNet
– In case you want to conform with Spycer and the SpycerNet, see to
it that the Spycer application on your system as well as on all partic-
ipating systems is configured appropriately (e.g. local content man-
agement enabled).
– On the remote systems in the SpycerNet the permissions ’Browse
and Search’ as well as ’Read Essence’ should be set at least. Without
reading permissions multi-clips will not be recognized correctly.
– Make sure that the ’Fast Scan’ option is disabled (Configuration
Tool, group Spycer Scan Filter) on each Spycer involved in the
conforming process. Otherwise when new material is copied to a
system, it may not be recognized by the DVS software properly due
to missing metadata information which are only available after a
thorough scan.
