Storage & File Management
Take
The Take field consists of a numeric value between 1 and 999. It is intended to indicate what take
number the clip is, relative to the scene. This field can be set manually and will increment each time
a new file is recorded. The Take number will reset to 1 when the Scene name is changed.
