Column Titles
The standard column Titles appear after the global Titles in the Avid log file.
You do not enter the data for a column Title along with the Title. You enter the data later, in a
separate data section.
You must include the five required standard column Titles; they are listed first in the table.
You can create your own custom column Titles. Enter them after the standard Titles (see the last
Title in the table). To create a custom Title, substitute the custom Title name for <Your_Title>.
You can create several custom Titles, as long as the total of global, standard, and custom Titles
does not exceed 64.
