2. Enter tape information and press Enter.
3. Repeat to create as many tapes as needed for the clips you plan to capture.
The tape name is embedded in the output of the QuickTime and QuickTime Open
container (and Avid MXF OP-Atom when generated by an Avid workflow via the Flip/
Flip64 action) and is viewable in these applications: Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro,
and DaVinci Resolve.
In DaVinci Resolve, the Assist Using Reel Names... setting must be changed for the Tape
Reel Name to display. Go to File > Project Settings > General Options and enable Assist
Using Reel Names and set it to Embedding in Source Clip File.
To disable the propagation of the tape reel name, in the Tape action of the target
