In DigiBase browsers, each row of data represents an item in a database (such as a file, session, or volume). Each column displays specific data for an item, as follows.
The Status column is the first column on the left, and it displays the status of each item, as follows.
Displays the name of the file, folder, volume, catalog, or session. This text field is editable in all DigiBase browsers except Catalogs.
Designates volumes for audio R (Record and Playback), P (Playback only), or T (Transfer). Available in the Workspace browser only.
Designates volumes as video R (Record and Playback), P (Playback only), or T (Transfer). Available in the Workspace browser only.
Displays whether the volume, folder, catalog, or file. For files, this column displays what kind of file it is: session file, audio file, video file, or other. This field cannot be edited. For audio files, this column also indicates whether the file is sample-based to tick-based.
Displays the size of a file in kilobytes. For folders, the total size of all files in the folder is displayed. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the last indexed date for the item. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the total capacity of a volume. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the unused space on volumes. This field cannot be edited.
Displays a graphical overview of an audio file. See Waveforms for more information.
Displays the duration of a file in absolute time (minutes and seconds), regardless of the timecode format. For clip groups, MIDI, tick-based Elastic Audio files, REX, and ACID files, Duration displays Bars and Beats. This field cannot be edited.
Displays any embedded comments associated with the file. File comments are supported with BWF and SD II files, but are not supported with AIFF files. File Comments always remain with the file when copied, converted, or transferred. See Comments Fields for more information.
|
Displays user comments stored with the database, with support for Finder comments. Available in the Project browser and Catalogs only. See Comments Fields for more information.
Displays the last modified date for the item. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the creation date of an item. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the number of channels in an audio file: mono, stereo, or 3–8 as appropriate for supported multichannel files. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the audio file format: WAV, WAV (ACID) for ACID files, WAV (BWF), AIFF, MP3, or ReCycle for REX files. This field cannot be edited.
Displays an audio file’s sample rate. This field can be edited in DigiBase browsers for WAV and SDII files only. This can be useful when dealing with audio that has been pulled up or down, or to force a sample rate conversion to occur if that is necessary before importing a file that otherwise would not require conversion.
Displays an audio file’s bit depth. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the tempo associated with clip group, MIDI, tick-based Elastic Audio files, REX, and ACID files, and session files. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the compression ratio of video files where applicable.
Displays the frame rate of video files where applicable.
Displays the original time stamp (timecode location) of audio or video files.
Displays the user time stamp, if any, of audio files only.
Displays the unique ID for a Pro Tools file.
This column displays the original Avid tape name if the item is an OMF file (audio or video). If an audio file was originally recorded in Pro Tools, this field displays the name of the original session.
|
This column displays the frame rate of the item if the item is an AAF sequence or an OMF sequence or file: 24, 25, 29.97, 30, drop or non-drop. For sequences, the frame rate at the start of the sequence is displayed.
Displays the channel name and number data embedded in multichannel audio files. You can edit the Channel name for mono BWF files only. When editing the channel name, anything entered in parentheses is discarded. However, the channel number will always be preserved.
Displays scene number data embedded in audio files.
Displays take number data embedded in audio files.
Displays origination date and time information embedded in audio files. However, many field recorders do not populate the Shoot Date field, relying instead on the file’s Creation Date to indicate date of production. When Pro Tools imports a field recorder file, it checks to see if the Shoot Date field is populated. If it is empty, Pro Tools copies the Creation Date of the original source file to the Shoot Date field of the new imported files. This field cannot be edited.
Displays sound roll number data (This data is usually named “Tape” in BWF files, but is distinct from the date displayed in the DigiBase Tape column). This field cannot be edited.
Displays the starting timecode of audio files. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the frame rate information embedded in audio files: 24, 25, 29.97, 30, drop or non-drop. This field cannot be edited.
Displays text information embedded in audio files. This field can be used for user comments, or auto-generated info with certain field recorders.
Displays tape ID information embedded in audio files. This field cannot be edited.
Displays the project name data embedded in audio files.
Indicates if the status of a take is set to “circled” (No or Yes) in audio files. This is usually for indicating which take should be used.
Displays the name of the plug-in for Plug-In Settings files (.txf).
Displays the plug-in manufacturer’s name for Plug-In Settings files (.txf).
Displays the path to the file used for relinking. Available in the Relink window only.
Displays the name of the file, or the Avid clip name when the item is an AAF or OMF file. The Clip Name is what appears in the Timeline and Clip List when a file is imported into a session. This field can be edited in Catalogs only, and can be generated using either of the Copy Comments to Clip Name commands in the Browser menu (see Additional DigiBase Commands in Catalogs).
