Configuring an MXF OP1A subject
You can change the subject options by clicking on the
button on the top of the ingest panel.
For MXF OP1A destination subjects you can configure the destination file naming rules.
These rules will be applied as a base name for all generated destination files. You can also set the rules determining what
should be done if a file with the same name already exists.
You can select from among three different file naming rules:
l
"Source clip name" means that the base name of destination file will be the same as the source file. For example, if
the source file is MyClip.mxf then the destination base name will be MyClip.
l
"Source user clip name" means that the base name of the destination file will be the user defined clip name (as
stored in the sequence metadata if there are any). If no user clip name is defined, it is resolved as "Not found".
l
"Following basename" means that the base name of destination file will be the text string provided.
Two options are possible in the event of a file conflict:
l
"Ask me" means that an error will be raised each time there is a conflict, requesting you to select the appropriate
action.
l
"Automatically increment filename" means that an ordinal will be added to the new destination file base name. For
example, if a file named MyClip.mxf already exists, the new destination basename will be MyClip1 and so on. This
option is automatically selected if you use a fixed base name, thus allowing you to ingest ordered lists of ingests
(MyClip1, MyClip2 ... MyClipN list).
In the
"Destination start timecode" group you can redefine the start timecode of the ingested files. See "Start timecode
