I guess I'm always worried about maintaining proper track order like I would on a tape delivery. Is there any chance if I were to completely rename a sound track so that it no longer included the track number how would an ingest server or anything else no which track was track 1 etc... When I ama into Avid the tracks show up in the proper order and I don't think that is based on the track name I see in QT Pro but some other metadata flag. I see channel/track numbers in a mediainfo report and I figure it's those pieces of metadata that tell Avid's ama link which track is what but I'm just guessing here. Can anyone shed some light on how the track numbers/channels are handled under the QT hood?

John,
I change these names fairly regularly. In fact, it's required that I do by the BBC and ITV in the UK for worldwide delivery. See page 15 of the BBC WW tech spec for how to deliver files;
I'm guessing their automation systems will look for the correct tag upon playout? Love to know more about how it works internally from their end, but from the delivery end we do this all the time.

Subject: [Avid-L2] Modifying Sound Track Names in QT Pro?
When I bake out .movs using QT Pro I usually modify the assignments on the Sound Tracks to Left Total etc... using Discrete 0X for tracks that don't fit the preset names available in the pulldown menu in the Properties window. Today I noticed the name like "Sound Track 1" can be modified. I decided to put more accurate track descriptions added on to the "Sound Track XX" name. For Example "Sound Track 1 SFM L, Sound Track 2 SFM R etc...."
I don't want to lose the track numbers but figured it might be helpful to someone down the line. In the Info window in QT Pro it only shows the track's assignment and not the name but I figure that meta data must show up somewhere. Does anybody have any insight into whether these additions to the Sound Track names will cause problems or if there are some programs that can actually make use of this type of information. I figure that it might help some human in the food chain know what types of stems they are dealing with without the need for a track layout document. Any suggestions on this front?
