Column Headings
The standard column headings appear after the global headings in the Avid log file.
You do not enter the data for a column heading along with the heading. You enter the data later, in a separate data section.
You must include the five required standard column headings; they are listed first in the following table.
You can create your own custom column headings. Enter them after the standard headings (see the last heading in the following table). To create a custom heading, substitute the custom heading name for <Your_heading>. You can create several custom headings, as long as the total of global, standard, and custom headings does not exceed 64.
COLUMN HEADINGS: Column headings are case sensitive and must be spelled exactly as shown. Note that the first five headings are required. Other headings are optional but might be necessary for your project. This table lists only the column headings that are relevant to shot log files. Some data, such as Creation Date, is gathered by the system. The following table does not include headings for such data. The maximum number of combined global, standard, and custom headings in a log file is 64.
