Re: [Avid-L2] Arri Alexa file format question

 

I will second what Michael has said and add the the naming is often, but not constrained to,

(roll#)(clip#)_(date)_(bodyID).mov

The Body ID part being that if you call into Production with a problem with a clip they know which camera body made the file.
