Tape List View

Use Tape List view to see all the tapes needed to assemble the current EDL or all currently open EDLs. In a regular EDL, you can see how raw source footage should be captured into an edited record timeline using timecode. Generally, the source footage is listed in an EDL based on its chronological order in the timeline.

You can use the tape list to modify information pertaining to events for a given tape.

As well, each tape's entry can be expanded in Tape List view to show keycode and 2:3 pulldown information associated with the source timecode.

Click the column header to sort the tape list in descending order using that column. Click the column heading again to sort the tape list in ascending order.

The work area of the Tape List view is divided into nine columns, and two sections for each tape.

The upper fields of each tape entry contain the following columns.

Tape
  The name of the tape that contains the source footage. To change the tape name, click and enter a new name.
Capture
  The capture flag for the tape. When set to On, the tape is captured during an auto-capture session. To set the capture flag for a given tape to On or Off, click the item under the Capture column and drag left or right to set it On or Off.
FCM
  The frame code mode for the tape. If the frame code mode is 29.97, you can drag over the item in this column to switch between DF/NDF modes.
Tracks
  The number and type of tracks that will be captured for the tape.
Start
  The starting timecode for the first event to be captured on the given tape.
Capture Time
  The duration of the material to capture for the given tape.
Telecine
  Indicates the telecine log associated with the tape.
Final Telecine
  Indicates the final telecine log associated with the tape.
Events
  The number of events to capture for the given tape. You cannot modify this value in Tape List view.

The lower fields of each tape entry contain the following columns.

TC Start
  Start timecode for each keycode sequence.
TC Duration
  Duration of time for the keycode sequence.
Film FCM
  Film frame code mode indicating the speed of the telecine when it scanned the film frames. Change the film FCM by clicking the Keycode field to access the calculator. See About the Keycode Calculator.
Keycode
  Keycode for the first frame of the sequence.
Removal
  Whether to apply 2:3 pulldown to the sequence.
Ref Frame
  Timecode of the reference frame.
