Apple 6 manual Incrementing Logging Fields, Setting Audio and Video Clip Import Settings

Incrementing Logging Fields

Most of the logging fields have an Increment button you can click to increase the value of the last character of the clip name by one, according to the following rules:

åAny numbers at the end of a field are incremented by one.

åAny single letters at the end of a field are incremented alphabetically by one from A to Z.

åAny single letters preceded by numbers are incremented alphabetically from A to Z. After Z, the number increases by one and the letter starts over at A, and then the cycle repeats.

åA number is appended to any fields ending with multiple letters, and is incremented by one. For example, ABC is followed by ABC1, then ABC2, and so on.

Setting Audio and Video Clip Import Settings

You can open the Import Settings pane by clicking the Import Settings button in the Logging area. Here you can specify whether video or audio is ingested, as well as the number and grouping of the audio channels. Audio meters display audio input levels on enabled channels.

Note: Some formats, such as AVCHD, are automatically mixed down to stereo. For these formats, you cannot adjust audio settings.
