Exporting Bins
Exporting Bins
You can save the bin information in a text file for use with other
applications. The information is saved in an ASCII file (TAB
Delimited) and is organized in the following way:
• Line 1 is a list of the headings in the current Bin view. This line is
optional.
• Each remaining line is data for an individual clip, with tabs
delimiting each category of information. These lines are separated
by carriage returns.
The file can be opened in any word processing or text editing package,
or it can be imported into a database file created by applications like
Microsoft Excel and Claris
®
FileMaker
®
.
The information can also be saved as a shot log in Avid format (ALE)
for importing to an Avid editing system bin. This is generally
unnecessary, because MediaLog bins can also be opened directly in
Avid editing applications.
Clips can also be saved in an AFE file. For more information, see
“Transferring Projects and Bins Using AFE Files” on page 170
To export a MediaLog bin:
1. Open the bin that contains the clips you want to export.
2. Select the clips.
3. Choose Export from the File menu.
A dialog box appears.
