Capture/Conform

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture

 

The Capture/Conform preferences screen specifies global configuration settings and conventions used when naming and conforming imported and captured material.

 

See Appendix Extracting Names for more detail on how we extract names from files and folders.

Auto Assign Name

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-assign-name

 

Defines what library Material Name we give imported files/sequences. This name is extracted from the file name and/or folder structure according to rules defined here.

 

Example folder/file sequence on disk :

 

three / two / one / clip.0000.dpx

Naming Options

The drop-down choice here modifies the basic name string we calculate via the Folder Up/Adding parameters (see appendix Extracting Names for details on calculating the basic name string).

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-assign-name-options-replace

replace with filename

Uses filename only.

This ignores any file/folder calculations (i.e. folder up/additions).

 

Material Name : clip

prepend filename

Place filename before the concatenated folders we use.

 

Material Name : clip two one

append filename

Place filename after the concatenated folders we use.

 

Material Name : two one clip

ignore filename

Just use the concatenated folders, no filename.

 

Material Name : two one

 

See : Appendix Extracting Names for details on the naming rules for the concatenated folder.

Folder Up

Which folder we start counting from. The folder containing the imported file/sequence is index 0.

Adding folders

How many file/folder levels do we "add" as a name string, to create the final name.

Auto Create Library Folder

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-create-folders

 

Defines if we create named folders in the project library automatically on material import.

 

The names created are extracted from the file name and/or folder structure according to rules defined here.

 

See : Appendix Extracting Names from File Folders

 

Example folder/file sequence on disk :

 

three / two / one / clip.0000.dpx

Naming Options

The drop-down choice here modifies the basic name string we calculate via the Folder Up/Adding parameters (see Appendix Extracting Names for details on calculating the basic name string).

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-assign-name-folders-tapename

no auto folder

Do not create library folders automatically. Material is imported into current library folder.

 

Folder : none created

tape name

Name the folder from the tapename extracted on import.

The tapename is extracted as per the Conform tape name settings below.

This ignores any basic name file/folder calculations (folder up/additions).

If the tapename cannot be determined, the folder is named "NOTAPE".

 

Folder : one (if we take tape name from filename, 1 folder up)

filename

Name the folder from the file structure on disk.

 

Folder : three two

 

app-prefs_prefs-autofolder-filename

filename hierarchical

Name the folder from the file structure on disk.

Unlike the filename option, this creates folders/subfolders recursively (whereas filename is flat).

 

Folder : three / two (folder one is inside two)

 

app-prefs_prefs-autofolder-filename-hier

 

See Appendix Extracting Names for an explanation of the rules.

Folder Up

Which folder we start counting from. The folder containing the imported file/sequence is index 0.

Adding folders

How many file/folder levels do we "add" to create the final name.

Start from Selected

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-create-folders-start-folder

 

This sets whether we create the folders under our currently selected library folder. If off, the folders are created under the library root folder.

Capture and Conform

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-conform

 

Here we are configuring how we assign and set some other important information when importing/capturing material into our library.

Timecode / Keycode

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-conform-timecode

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-timecode-list

app-prefs_prefs-timecode-list

 

The Capture timecode/Capture keycode drop-down list specifies where we extract the timecode information from.

 

The "timecode" can be an actual timecode or a film keycode , and both can uniquely identify a frame in a sequence.

Timecode

A timecode can be extracted from :

 

file header (if available)
The DPX file format has a timecode field. The RED R3D file format contains two timecodes.</br>
filename (numerics) e.g.
clip.090000.dpx is timecode 01:00:00:00 @ 25 fps.</br>

 

dv_note

1st and 2nd Timecodes

 

app-prefs_prefs-timecode-1st

The 2nd timecode is only used for the RED R3D file format (which contain two timecode fields). In all other circumstances, use 1st TC File header. See the Red Support section.

 

Keycode

A keycode can only be extracted from a DPX file header. A keycode will give us both the keycode field in the  project library and the timecode field.

 

See Appendix Keycode.

Assigning Tapename and Conforming

A tapename can be automatically assigned to a shot :

 

When importing a shot manually via the Library file browser
As part of an EDL capture/conform process

 

We can also choose if we use an EDL tape name, film name or clip name in addition to the timecode for differentiating events during conform.

Tapename

The tape name field in the project library is set via the preference parameters to the right of the Conform .. drop-down list.

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-conform-tapename-anno

 

dv_alert

When importing image sequences, it does not matter how the drop-down list to the left is set (whether Conform clip name, Conform film name or Conform tape name). The high-lighted areas in the diagram above set the tape name in the library.

 

The tape name can be extracted from :

 

file header (if available)

This is supported in the DPX file format.

If the file format does not support this header field, the library tape name field is blank.</br></br>
file name

This will be a single folder name at the specified level.
A level of 0 (zero) selects the name of the file (e.g. clip).

See Appendix Extracting Names.</br></br></br>

 

dv_note

For the DPX format, we use field 38, input device name, as a tape name/clip name/film name field.

Conforming

A basic conform process will compare events/shots on a timecode basis only. This method can sometimes result in multiple matches, where we have more than one candidate shot for the same timeline event.

 

To differentiate these multiple shot matches, we can extend our comparison to include tape name (or film name, or clip name).

 

dv_note

The extra level of conform differentiation is performed if Match Name is enabled.

 

A drop-down list assigns the method used to differentiate multiple event/shot matches in a conform.

 

app-prefs_conform-names-list

 

Conform tape name
Conform film name
Conform clip name

 

app-prefs_project-prefs-capture-conform-tapename-matchname-anno

 

dv_note

We take the associated names from the list (EDL,CTL etc.).
