Clip Naming—Two Examples
The following two examples show how clip names are generated. Each example
is based on the collective settings for these parameters:
• Reel Name
• Clip Name
• Clip Number
• Clip Number Append
• Alpha Append Value
In both examples that follow, "TK" is a default append to the naming convention
just prior to the auto-incrementing TK value (which can be manually overridden
via parameter 17.8 Take).
Ki Pro Ultra offers these parameter choices for easy identification of the
QuickTime files, so that the names can logically match the shooting script, and
are acceptable when imported into various non-linear editors such as Final Cut
Pro 7's Browser window, Final Cut Pro X's Events, Avid Media Composer's Bins, etc.
The Final Cut Pro 7 Browser window provides columns of data used to describe
the media. In the most minimal form, "Name", "Media Start", "Media End" and
"Reel" are the required pieces of information for a Final Cut Pro clip to be properly
perceived as "valid" media. Additional information or "QuickTime metadata" is
useful and can be mapped into the myriad choices provided in the Final Cut Pro
Browser column headings. Final Cut Pro X also uses such information and can
provide even more support for QuickTime file metadata.
Example 1
Using the factory default AJA parameter settings:
Reel Name
Clip Name
Clip Number
Clip Append
Alpha Append
Take
The resulting clip would be named and displayed as: "SC1ATK1". The media would
be named "001" if mounted on the OS X desktop as a volume.
Example 2
Using customized settings:
Reel Name
Clip Name
Clip Number
Clip Append
Alpha Append
Take
The resulting clip would have the following naming convention: "Clip12TK1". The
media would be named "002" if mounted on a desktop as a volume.
