Clip Naming-Two Examples - AJA Ki PRO Installation And Operation Manual

Clip Naming—Two
Examples
Example 1
Example 2
Ki Pro v3.2
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's Browser window or Final Cut Pro X's Events. Final Cut Pro 7's
Browser window provides columns of data used to describe the media. In the most
minimal form, "Name", "Media Start", "Media End" and "Reel" are 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 Pro
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.
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.
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.
