Capturing Clips
I
A
Frame
Number
The frame numbers provided by the file
names are used for the conforming pro-
cess. When using this setting, the mate-
rial on the storage has to be stored
directly in the directory stated in the
field Path as one long clip, i.e. subdirec-
tories are disregarded. All clips stored in
the stated directory will be added to the
bin. During the build-up of a timeline in
the Edit Tool, the frame numbers of the
bin clips’ image files will be mapped to
the timecode information stated in the
capture list (such as source in-/out-
points) to create the timeline. Of
course, for this the frame numbers of
the image file names must match the
timecode information of the capture
list. However, if necessary, you can ad-
just the timecodes of the capture list
with the setting TC Offset.
Source TC With this setting the source timecodes
provided by the clips on the storage will
be used for the conforming process.
Then the directory selected via the field
Path plus one further subdirectory level
will be searched for clips. When the
source timecodes of the found clips
match the source in-/outpoints of the
capture list, they will be added to the
bin and marked as already recorded in
the capture list.
Keycode This setting performs the same as the
the Source TC setting, only that it
uses the keycode information provided
by the files instead of the source time-
codes. Nevertheless, to use it the data
in the capture list has to provide key-
code information as well (see e.g. menu
option Merge Cutlist in section “The
Button ’File’” on page 5-34).
For a conforming with source timecode and
keycode currently only the *.dpx, *.mov and
*.mxf file formats are supported. Nevertheless,
please make sure when using these conforming
methods that the respective information is pro-
vided by the files in their file headers.
