Tape Name box

Select an option to determine how the tape name is set for the imported clips.

Select:	To:
Enter Tape	Activate the Tape Name field so that you can manually enter the tape name. When selecting multiple files for import, this tape name is used for all imported files.
Tape from Filename	Use the name of the imported file as the tape name.
Tape from Directory	Determine the tape name from the detected directory structure. A Level field appears below the Tape Name box. Use this to configure the relative path to the directory from which the tape name can be determined.
Tape from File Header	Read the tape name from the header of the imported file.

Level field

Select an option to set the relative file path to the directory from which the tape name can be determined. Although it is available for all file types, the Level field is specifically designed to work with the directory structures that are output by film scanners. A typical file structure would look like: ./<tape>/<resolution>/clip.######.dpx. In this case, selecting Up 2 Levels in the Level field identifies the directory that corresponds to the tape name (./<tape>). Enabled if Tape Name is set to Tape From Directory.

Tape Name field

Set the name to use as the tape name of the imported clip. Enabled if Tape Name is set to Enter Tape.
