Exporting Shot Log Files
You can export a shot log file from Media Composer in one of two formats to make adjustments in a
text editor or to import into another system.
To export a shot log based on clip information in a bin:
1. Open the bin which contains the clips you want to export. If necessary, click the Text tab to
display all clip information.
2. Click a Clip icon to select it.
3. Ctrl+click (Windows) or Command+click (Macintosh) each additional clip you want to export.
4. Select File > Output > Export to File.
The Export As dialog box (Windows) or Destination dialog box (Macintosh) opens with a
default file name in the File name text box (Windows) or Export As text box (Macintosh), based
on the file type.
5. Do one of the following to select the Export setting:
t If you previously created an Export setting for exporting shot log files, click the Export
menu, and select the setting. Then, go to step 10.
For information on creating Export settings, see “Customizing Export Settings” on page 833.
t If you want to review or edit Export settings, go to step 6.
6. Click Options.
The Export Settings dialog box opens.
7. Click the Export As menu, and select one of the following:
t Select Avid Log Exchange to export the selected bin as a shot log file that complies with
ALE specifications.
t Select Tab Delimited to export the selected bin as a tab-delimited ASCII text file.
ALE and tab-delimited files include information for master clips and subclips only. Information
for other objects, such as group clips, sequences, and precomputes, is not included.
8. To modify an existing setting, select Save.
9. To save the setting with a new name, select Save As and type a name in the dialog box that
opens.
The system adds the Export Setting name to the list of formats available from the Export dialog
box.
10. Click Save to close the Export As dialog box (Windows) or the Destination dialog box
(Macintosh).
