Tape Name box

Select an option to determine how the tape name is set when importing clips. Disabled if Sequence Detection from the Clip Options menu is set to Frames.

Select:	To:
Enter Tape Name	Activate the Tape Name field where you enter the tape name. When selecting multiple files for import, this tape name is used for all imported files.
Tape Name from File Name	Use the name of the imported file as the tape name.
Tape Name from Directory	Determine the tape name from the detected directory structure. Use the Level field below to configure the relative path to the directory from which the tape name can be determined.

Level field

Set from which directory the tape name is taken, relative to the location of the clip in the directory structure.

Although available for all types of files, the Level field is intended for directory structures output by film scanners. A typical image file directory structure looks like this: ./<tape>/<resolution>/clip.######. In this case, selecting Levels Up 2 in the Level field identifies the directory that corresponds to the tape name (./<tape>). Enabled if Tape Name is set to Tape From Directory.

Tape Name field

Enter the name to use as tape name when importing the clip. Enabled if Tape Name is set to Enter Tape Name.

Timecode box

Timecode is read from the file name, when present. Not editable.

Rate box

Select Auto to use the frame rate specified by the clip; with no rate specified, the application assigns a rate from the Default Resolutions table, or the project's rate if there is no match in the table. Use Select Rate to set the frame rate using the Frame Rate box.

The Default Resolutions table uses a frame's height and width to assign it an aspect ratio, a scan mode, and a frame rate. You can find the Default Resolutions table in MediaHub > Browse for Archives > Default Resolutions. It is also used when restoring legacy archives.

Frame Rate box

Select the frame rate of the imported clip. Enabled if the Rate box is set to Select Rate.

Drop Frame button
