be the base name for every exported shot (even when multiple shots are

created on export).

If you do not type in a base name, file names will be numeric only e.

g. 007845.dpx

Numbers are added automatically to exported sequences and

correspond to the frame timecodes. The numbers thus depend on the

selected export mode (and may be record or source timecodes)

File extensions are added automatically

Number Handling

Frame numbers will be added automatically on export, zero-padded to the

specified width (Frame Padding). The frame numbers correspond to the

record (Rec) or source (Src) timecode as per the chosen export mode.

Because numbers are added automatically, some care has to be taken if you

choose to type in numbers as part of the base file name.

If you type in numbers as part of the base file name :

Rec TC modes use the numbers as the starting timecode/number

for every shot created. If shots are exported to multiple folders, every

shot in every folder will start at the given number.

Src TC modes ignore any numbers and always use the source

timecode for shots created.

A filename entered as test will usually result in a file called

test090000.dpx (or similar).

To put another "." before the numerics, enter a filename test..

(note the two dots).

This results in a file called test.090000.dpx.

Using Variables in File Names

You can also use variables in the file entry box e.g.

$t_graded_

might expand to a base filename :

newrtt1_graded_

See the Folder Hierarchy and Variables for a list of variables available.
