Exporting a frame sequence with source timecode in name? - Stills worfklow

[Jerome Thelia]

Hi, is it possible to export to a TIF sequence from Redcine-X Pro that will have in the name of each file the source timecode of the original R3D clip?

I'm using this for a stills workflow where I'm converting trimmed R3D's to TIFs for color work. I'd like to be able to get back to the exact frame in the original clip by having the R3D source timecode written into the TIF name.

For example: A005_C010_1229ER clip with a still at source timecode 09:22:12:07 would render to a TIF named: A005_C010_1229ER_808901.tif

Thanks!

Or as an option to absolute frame count (which needs to take into consideration frame rate), just the timecode itself without the colons. For the above example it would be: A005_C010_1229ER_09221207.tif. the differentiation would be 7 versus 8 digits as you only need 7 to represent 24 hours of absolute frames at 24fps - 60fps (2,073,600 frames for 24 and 5,184,000 for 60fps). So for your timecode example the option @ 24fps would be:

A005_C010_1229ER_09221207.tif.
A005_C010_1229ER_809575.tif.

Something to consider for anyone just looking at the filename will be able to easily decipher the timecode.
