Clip Naming-Two Examples - AJA Ki Pro Quick Start Manual

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'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.
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.
E
xample 2: using customized settings:
The resulting clip would have the following naming convention: "CLIP12TK1".
The media would be named "002" if mounted on a desktop as a volume.
