Tape Name option
Select an option to determine how the tape name is set when importing clips.

|---|---|
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. |
Tape Name from Header | Read the tape name from the header of the imported file. |
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 the tape name when importing the clip. Enabled if the Tape Name is set to Enter Tape Name.
