Entering a Path and File Name Manually
You can enter the path and file name for a record manually with the en-
try fields of the Destination settings. Just start to enter something in
the entry fields and another dialog window will be opened where you
can type in the respective path or file name:
Figure 4-6: Entering a path or file name
In this window enter the path or file name for the record on the VENICE
server and confirm your entry with the OK button. Perform this for the
path and the file name separately with the available entry fields.
When entering a path together with a directory that does not exist, it
will be created when clicking the OK button.
When entering a file name for the record, you just have to enter the
prefix without any numbering or file extension. These will be provided
by the software automatically. If a file name is not specified, the default
name NewClip will be given to the recorded clip.
The software arranges the clips numerically, meaning
the recorded clips will carry a consecutive number
which will be added to the file name in a certain way (see section “The
Captured Files” on page 4-7). To the right of the field File name is a
field that shows you the number that will be used for the next record.
As a standard for every new file name the numbering starts with 000/
--- meaning that no numbering will be added (the number will be
added though when more clips with the same name are recorded). Af-
ter a record operation the consecutive number is automatically in-
creased by one which ensures that a once captured clip will not be
overwritten if the file name remains unaltered.
The entered path must lead to the storage of the VENICE serv-
er to which you are currently connected.
