Exporting Files
Number.”
Then, the serial number of the file name
determines the export IN point to allow the file to be
recorded back to its original position on the tape
.
When a DPX file is imported, timecode information is
stored in the header of the file.
Therefore, when the IN TC (insert) box is set to “File
Header,” this timecode information determines the
export IN point, regardless of the serial number of the
file. As a result, the file is recorded back to its original
position on the tape.
If the frame rate or DF/NDF setting of the VTR is
changed between import and export, exporting the file
to its original position will no longer be possible.
About the “Copy to Log Directory” setting in LOG
PROXY
To use the export log file as a clip list for confirming
the contents of the cassette tapes, all recording
information regarding the tape must be written to the
one export log file.
When the following two conditions are satisfied, this
can be achieved:
• The EXPORT LOG box has been set to “enable(Log
Dir)” for all the export executed.
• All export operations have been executed with the
same server.
The export log file is stored on the server which is used
for the export. When the multiple export operations are
executed to one tape from multiple servers, the whole
log will not be included in the single export log file.
To avoid this situation, provide a copy of the export
log file containing information about all clip files
recorded on the tape along with that tape. The export
log file can then be placed in the directory for storing
log files on the server of the new system.
In this way, the information about clips exported from
the new system can be added to the export information
from the previous server.
Also, if you provide an XML-format export log file in
company with a thumbnail directory (created by
selecting “Copy to Log Directory” in LOG PROXY
box), it will be possible to display the thumbnails of all
the clip files in the new system.
For details on how to copy an export log file to
external removable media, see “Log File
Management” on page 36.

Move to the directory where the clip to be exported is
stored, and select the clip.
For details on clip file names, see “Example of file
name” on page 18.
To specify the clips to be exported by loading an
export list
You can specify the clip files to be exported by loading
an export list created using an external editor.
Click the Browse... button to the right of the EXPORT
LIST box in the DISK CONTROL tag display
(see the
display illustration on page 26)
and specify the export
list file stored on the disk of the web client or external
media, and then click the LOAD button.
The following example shows the contents of an
export list file.
/XX/XX/test_clip01_@@@@@.dpx:####:####
Describe as shown below when exporting single file
other than picture.
/XXX/XX/test_project.xml:0:0

Specify the section in the selected clip to be exported.
There are four ways to determine the section to be
exported.
• While playing the clip and monitoring the proxy on the
left side of the display, click the MarkIn button at the
point that you want to specify as the start point. Then,
click the MarkOut button at the point that you want to
specify as the end point.
• Enter the serial number of the file that you want to
specify as the start point in the FROM box, and enter
the serial number of the file that you want to specify as
the end point in the TO box.
• Enter the serial number of the file that you want to
specify as the start point in the FROM box, and enter
the number of files that you want to include in the
section to be exported in the FILE COUNT box.
• Click the MarkIn button at the point that you want to
specify as the start point. Then, enter the number of
files that you want to include in the section to be
exported in the FILE COUNT box.
If you check the Force box, you can enter a number in
the FILE COUNT box that is greater than the number
of files currently in the selected directory. This is
convenient when all the files to be exported have not
yet arrived in the selected directory because they are
still being transferred from the scanner or rendered.
