17.2 CLIP NAME
This parameter determines the clip name associated with all clips generated while using
this setting. The clip name is either “Clip” or “SC”. These are the options:
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:
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:
SC (default)
Clip Clips generated will have filenames beginning with “SC”
