Clip names and file numbers for Cortex clip pulls from EDL

OK, both these features are implemented in build 4449.

A few notes:

  • When you import the EDL, you have these two options for what the clip name will be. Choose wisely!
    If you choose “Use EDL comment as clip name” it uses the first comment and strps the * that starts the line.

  • When you run the traceback, you will want to have ‘Slate’ and ‘Edit’ unchecked otherwise the clip name and marks in & out will be used from the database clip that it traces to, rather than what you imported from the EDL.

  • Finally, your DPX configs now include the option to have the sequence start at a frame number of your choosing, rather than one based on the timecode. Cortex will embed the SMPTE timecode in the header regardless of your choice.

If you want the files to be named as the clip name, you will have to also make sure the deliverable config is set properly:
