Chapter 8 Administration
Naming of Media Files by Avid Liquid (Streamed media)
Up to and including Version 5.6x
Media Management names new and imported Streamed Media Files (see page 314) as well as imported
animations on the basis of the timecode data. For example:
15030512N 15040613N V0.yuv
The first number is the timecode of the clip-in (hhmmssff).
Timecode system: N stands for Non Drop NTSC and D for Drop Frame NTSC, P for PAL.
The second number is the timecode of the clip-out.
Stream type: V stands for video and A for audio.
Stream ID: 0 to 3; differentiates among streams of the same type; for example: A0 = 1st Audio
Source Track, A2 = 3rd Audio Source Track of the clip.
The file name extension indicates the File Format (in this case: YUV, i.e. Media Format Uncom-
pressed).
From and including Version 6.0
The integration of HDTV also affects Media Management. There are many more timecode variants,
quality ranks, resolutions and frame rates than in the straightforward PAL/NTSC world. If you’re inter-
ested in the specifics, here is a list of all the designators.
A media file generated in Avid Liquid can, for example
, look like this:
../Reels/MyTestReel.@c3.P CF450037
/ 01231412P 01301702P V0. @rP4. @iDIF. MXF
MyTestReel -
This is the Reel name that was entered in the Logging Tool.
@c3 (camera) -
This designates the camera setting (required for multi-camera editing). Default is @c0.
P (Reel timecode system) -
- P, N, D (PAL, NTSC, NTSC Drop Frame)
- F (24p)
- HF (23.98 Non-Drop Frame)
- HG (23.98 Drop Frame)
- HP (HD-PAL 50 Hz)
- HN (HD-NTSC 59.94 Hz)
- HD (HD-NTSC DF 59.94 Hz)
- LP (Proxy PAL 12.5 Hz)
