There are two ways of increasing the Counter Variable within Naming Presets and these two workflows are outlined below.
Stop/Start Recording
When there is a recording currently ongoing and the operator needs to increase the Counter Variable, because that is required for the production and/or post-production, then the recording can be stopped and started again.
A recording is currently ongoing, Counter Variable is “001”.
After stopping/starting the recording the Counter Variable changes to “002”.
Split Recording
When there is a recording currently ongoing and the operator needs to increase the Counter Variable, because that is required for the production and/or post-production, then the recording can be stopped and started again.
A recording is currently ongoing, Counter Variable is “002”.
Now the Split Record Feature can be used to Split the ongoing recording (holding down the Option-key when moving the mouse over the Record button).
After splitting the recording the Counter Variable changes to “003”.
