The following clip naming formats are used to specify the location of clips in the list_framestore, to_framestore, from_framestore , and imcopy, utilities.
An initial indicates that the path for the clip is anchored at the root of the library. The following three formats can be used to find or list clips:
where Clip1 is on the reel named Reel1 on Desktop1.
where Clip2 is on the reel named Reel2.
where Clip3 is located at the root of the library.
If you do not know the absolute path, you can omit the initial and Flint will search the library for the reel and/or clip. The following two formats can be used to find clips if you do not know the absolute path:
where Clip3 is on Reel3, which is located inside the library.
where Clip4 is located inside the library.
