We can extract the timecode from the file header (e.g. a DPX format
sequence) or from the sequence filename (i.e. sequence numbers are the
timecodes).
For header timecode, you will always use 1st tc header unless you
have a Red R3D sequence and wish to use the second R3D
timecode (2nd tc header).
The timecode extracted will be placed in the Library In column, and will also
cause the assignment of the Out and Duration values.
Tape Name
We can extract the tapename from the file :
Header - Some file header metadata contains the tapename (e.g.
DPX)
Filename - A string component of the file path e.g. file name or
containing folder name
Tape Dir Level
The Tape Dir Level sets the folder level from which we take extract the
tapename when extracting the tapename from the filename.
Level 0 is the file name
Level 1 is the containing folder
Level 2 is one folder up etc.
See the appendix chapter Automatic Naming.
