Rendering 5D??
Hi, I have a 5D job set up and conformed using a Formula for reel numbers I found here a while back. This works great – */%R.*
Gives me exactly what I need to conform but, when I render and try to keep those reel numbers in the .dpx header its giving me this – %08u
When what I’m really after is the 5D movie file name ie, MVI_9876
Is there a way of doing this? Everything else is fine and can keep source T/C and put it in a folder named after the reel name just not the actual .dpx sequence.
The edls I am using have been sent to online and they need the reel number in the media to match the edl.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When you have rendered the files, and looking at the DPX files, remember to switch back the reel number to “Embedding in source clip file”.

Hi Rohit, thanks for the reply, unfortunately that has not worked.
When I view the rendered files back using “embedding in source clip file” I get no reel number at all in the browse page (or when I add to a timeline then try to conform). It is also listed as “ROOT” when trying “media pool folder name”.
However I started a new project and ticked “source clip file pathename” but just left it in its default mode which is – */%R?%D I can now see the reel name is expect to see.However, I am concerned that this information is not in the header of the .dpx as it seems like the formula is creating the reel number rather than allowing me to see it.
The render is to go out to an edit suite and then an online suite and the reel number info must be in the header for conform as the timecode is useless.
Any ideas? Anyone??
Thanks Rohit.
