17.2 CLIP NAME This parameter determines the clip name associated with all clips generated while using
this setting. The clip name is either “Clip” or “SC”:
Clip Naming—Two
Examples
The following two examples show how clip names are generated. Each example is based
on the collective settings for these parameters:
• REEL NAME
• CLIP NAME
• CLIP NUMBER
• CLIP NUMBER APPEND
• ALPHA APPEND VALUE
In both examples that follow, “TK” is a default append to the naming convention just
prior to the auto-incrementing TK value (which can be manually overridden via
parameter 17.6 Take).
Ki Pro Mini offers these parameter choices for easy identification of the QuickTime files,
so that the names can logically match the shooting script, and are acceptable when
imported into the Final Cut Pro 7 Browser window, Final Cut Pro X's Events, or Avid Media
Composer Bins. The Final Cut Pro 7 Browser window provides columns of data used to
describe the media. In the most minimal form, "Name", "Media Start", "Media End" and
"Reel" are the required pieces of information for a Final Cut Pro clip to be properly
perceived as "valid" media. Additional information or "QuickTime metadata" is useful and
can be mapped into the myriad choices provided in the Final Cut Pro Browser column
headings. Final Cut Pro X also uses such information and can provide even more support
for QuickTime file metadata. Avid Media Composer Bins provide "Name", "Creation Date",
"Duration", "Tracks", "Start", "Video", "Audio SR" and "Field Ordering" information when
working with DNxHD Ki Pro Mini created media and Avid's AMA.
SC (default)
Clip Clips generated will have filenames beginning with “SC”
Clips generated will have filenames beginning with “Clip”
Example 1: using the factory default AJA parameter settings:
REEL NAME 001
CLIP NAME SC
CLIP NUMBER 1
CLIP APPEND Alpha
ALPHA APPEND A
The resulting clip would be named and displayed as: “SC1ATK1”. The media would
be named “001” if mounted on the OS X desktop as a volume.
