Editing a Tape Name

You can change a single event's tape name, or the tape name for all events on the same tape. This is useful if the events you want to capture are on a different tape than that listed in the EDL.

Tape names can be up to 56 characters long. The EDL Editor displays only the first eight characters, but the clips maintain the original tape name.

To edit a tape name:

1. In the Import EDL menu, do one of the following:
   • To change the tape name for all events on the same tape, enable Affect Tape.
   • To change only the selected tape name, disable Affect Tape.
2. Click the Tape entry in the event you want to edit and enter the new name:
   • If the Affect Tape option is enabled, the tape name for all events on the same tape changes automatically.
   • If the Affect Tape option is disabled, only the tape name for the selected event changes.
   • If the Affect Selection option is enabled, only the tape names for selected events change.
