STUDIO
LIQUID
Timecode and reel name
Avid Liquid’s Media Management, i.e. the man-
agement of clips and their media files, is based on
timecode data and Reel names. This is why it’s
important that
all tapes have a continuous timecode
without breaks,
the same Reel (=tape) name never be
used more than once in a Project. The Reel
description together with TC data is part
of the media file name. Recurrent Reel
names and identical TC data cause exist-
ing files to be overwritten.
Tapes with a lot of TC problems should be copied
to another tape before digitizing. However, the
Logging Tool Properties also contain several
options for working with TC breaks.
EZ Capture Clips
EZ Capture clips are file- and directory-based,
thus following the logic of Studio. For more com-
plex Projects, generate the clips using the Logging
To o l , especially if you want to perform a Batch
Capture later on.
HDV
Always use the highest quality tapes available for
HDV recording.
