Filename and Number

ch-export-browser-filename

 

Name your exported sequence(s) by typing in a name in the text box. This will be the base name for every exported shot (even when multiple shots are created on export).

 

If you do not type in a base name, file names will be numeric only e.g. 007845.dpx
Numbers are added automatically to exported sequences and correspond to the frame timecodes. The numbers thus depend on the selected export mode (and may be record or source timecodes)
File extensions are added automatically

Number Handling

Frame numbers will be added automatically on export, zero-padded to the specified width (Frame Padding). The frame numbers correspond to the record (Rec) or source (Src) timecode as per the chosen export mode.

 

Because numbers are added automatically, some care has to be taken if you choose to type in numbers as part of the base file name.

 

If you type in numbers as part of the base file name :

 

Rec TC modes use the numbers as the starting timecode/number for every shot created. If shots are exported to multiple folders, every shot in every folder will start at the given number.
Src TC modes ignore any numbers and always use the source timecode for shots created.

 

dv_note

A filename entered as test will usually result in a file called test090000.dpx (or similar).

To put another "." before the numerics, enter a filename test.. (note the two dots).

This results in a file called test.090000.dpx.

Using Variables in File Names

ch-export-file-name-variables

 

You can also use variables in the file entry box e.g.

 

$t_graded_

 

might expand to a base filename :

 

newrtt1_graded_

 

See the Folder Hierarchy and Variables for a list of variables available.
