Entering Ink Numbers
To enter ink numbers:
1. Double-click Film and 24p in the Settings list of the Project window.
The Film and 24p Settings dialog box opens.
2. Make sure the correct options are selected for ink number format and ink number
display, and click OK.
You can log different ink number formats in the same project as long as you change the
ink number setting to the appropriate format before you log each type. Changing the ink
number setting affects only the next ink numbers you log, not numbers that are already
logged.
3. Return to the bin and enter numbers under the Ink Number Title.
For example, use Keykode format or use a two-digit prefix to identify the roll, a hyphen,
a four- or five-digit footage count, a plus sign, and a two-digit frame count (for example,
AA-00924+00).
