Column Headings
The standard column headings appear after the global headings in the
Avid log file. Note that you do not enter the data for a column heading
along with the heading. You will enter the data later, in a separate data
section.
You must include the five required standard column headings; they
are listed first in Table D-3
.
You can create your own custom column headings. Enter them after
the standard headings (see the last heading in this table). To create a
custom heading, substitute the custom heading name for
<Your_heading>. You can create several custom headings, as long as
the total of global, standard, and custom headings does not exceed 64.
Table D-3 Avid Log Column Headings
COLUMN HEADINGS: Column headings are case sensitive and must be spelled exactly as shown.
Note that the first five headings are required. Other headings are optional but may be necessary for
your project. The maximum number of combined global, standard, and custom headings in a log file
is 64.
Column [Return] Required Indicates the start of the column headings.
Name [Tab] Required Heading for clip name.
Tracks [Tab] Required Heading for tracks you select for digitizing.
Start [Tab] Required Heading for video timecode of sync point — the time-
code IN for clip. From address track of video.
End [Tab] Required Heading for timecode OUT for clip. From address
track of video.
AUDIO_FORMAT [Tab] Heading for audio sampling rate for digitizing the
individual clip. If omitted, the global entry for
AUDIO_FORMAT applies.
