Working with BWF Files
1460
For example, the keyword/value pair uSCENE=1A[CR/LF] displays “1A” in the Scene column of
the bin into which you import it.
The following table describes how to code BWF information for particular bin columns:
If you want to assign a file to a particular track number, the file name must end in _n, -n, or a
space followed by n (where n is the track number). For example, a file named Orchestra_1.bwf
would create the audio on track A1.
To bypass the frame rate dialog box during import, you can specify the frame rate using either of
the following syntaxes:
• uFRAMERATE=nnDF
• uFRAMERATE=nnND
