Importing Clips

--description <descr>

--clip-description <descr>

Importing a Clip

--import-clip <path>

 

The following command imports a clip from the specified path into the library of project "PROJ1":

 

Command :

$ film_master --project PROJ1 --import-clip \

  M:\images\train\300001.dpx

INFO Opening project "PROJ1".

INFO Found range (300000, 300164).

 

The clip imported above will be given a default name in this case because the filename is numeric only.

The default name will be taken from the two containing directories i.e. "images train". See below.

 

Command :

$ film_master --project PROJ1 \

  --import-clip Z:\shots\056\056_001.001.dpx

INFO Opening project "PROJ1".

INFO Found range (1, 15).

 

The clip will be given a name taken from the filename, i.e. "056_001". See below.

 

dv_note

This command only imports one clip. To import multiple clips, see Importing Folders.

 

dv_note

If you perform the same import operation twice, the clip will be imported again. This differs from previous behaviour that expected the option --force-import to be used (this option has been removed).

Specifying a Clip Name on Import

--name <name>

 

To specify a clip name in the library on import, use the --name option.

 

Command :

$ film_master --project PROJ1 \

  --import-clip Z:\shots\002\shot1002.001.dpx \

  --name "clip name"

INFO Opening project "PROJ1".

INFO Found range (1, 99).

INFO Set clip name to "clip name".

 

dv_note

You can only set the name of an imported clip when you import it, not afterwards.

Clip Naming Convention

Unless specified with the --name option, the imported clip is named as per the settings in the application preferences Auto Assign Name.

Specifying a Clip Description on Import

--description <description>

 

To specify a clip description in the library on import, use the --description option.

 

Command :

$ film_master --project PROJ1 --import-clip \

  Z:\shots\1002\shot1002.001.dpx \

  --description "clip desc"

INFO Opening project "PROJ1".

INFO Found range (1, 99).

INFO Set clip description to "clip desc".

 

dv_note

The description can only be set on import, not afterwards.
