Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Some Success taking Premier Project into Avid

 

From the Alexa user manual:


"Metadata is stored in the index.xml file as well as the quicktime file header. Most important for the post production workflow is the tape name, as it will be one of the main image identifiers in an EDL. Even though tape name is not quite a good name for nonlinear media, it is used due to post production naming conventions. Alternatively, reel name is used sometimes.

The tape name of ALEXA files is limited to 8 letters to match the CMX 3600 EDL standard. It consists of the Camera Index, reel counter and the Camera ID.

The tape name of the clip from the previous example would then be: A004R1JL.

Even if the user forgets to assign different camera indices to two cameras on one shoot, the Camera ID guarantees unique tape names.

Currently one time code track is recorded in the Quicktime file."


Right now I'm look at an Alexa file in FCPX. There is no associated XML. This is metadata purely from what's embedded in the file.

The clip name is:

B001C007_110410_R1L7

The Reel name is:

B001R1L7


That's the standard Alexa convention.
