Logging Film Information
Once you have entered or imported the basic log information into a bin,
you might want to add film-related log information before digitizing. For
information, see Appendix B.
Modifying Clip Information After Logging
You can change or modify the information logged into the bin. This is
especially useful if you find that some of the data is incorrect, or if you
need to update the information based on technical needs such as varying
timecode formats or film specifications.
There are two ways to modify clip information prior to digitizing:
• You can modify the information directly by clicking in a column and
by entering the new information one field at a time.
• You can use the Modify command to change selected groups of clips
all at once.
For information on modifying the pulldown phase, see “Setting the
Pulldown Phase” on page 171.

Modifying tape names and timecodes will affect any key numbers
entered for the selected clips.
Creating Avid Logs
You can use a text editor to log your source footage manually. An Avid log
lists video clips you want to capture for editing. You can create the logs in
Avid format, entering data about your source tapes and clips according to
Avid specifications.
