Clip Naming—Two Examples
The following two examples show how resulting 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 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 the Final Cut Pro 7 Browser window, Final Cut Pro X's Events or Avid
Media Composer Bins. 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. Avid Media Composer Bins provide
"Name", "Creation Date", "Duration", "Tracks", "Start", "Video", "Audio SR" and "Field
Ordering" information when working with DNxHD Ki Pro Mini created media and
Avid's AMA.
Example 1: using the factory default AJA parameter settings:
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.
