Changing (master) clip name in browser window

Hello,
Did a search for this but found very little and that which was found confused me. Does anyone know whether it's safe to rename clips in the browser window within FCP? And whether it maters if they are master clips or not?
I just got back from Iceland (went specificly to film) and captured each whole tape with "capture clip" letting FCP automaticly cut it up and name 1, 2, 3 etc. I wouldnt usually do this but I had to get it onto the computer quickly as I was so scared the tapes might break or get lost and the whole trip could be wasted.
Thanks in advance for any help.
PS running: iBook G4 1.2GHz, FCP 5, OSX 10.4.5, Pal HDV (HDV HC1) And I know it's not really fast enough for HDV but thats beside the point

You'll be fine. Just make sure you rename the clips within FCP's browser window, NOT the Finder. (Unless you want to re-import the clips and reconnect all the media) Cheers.

  • Changing a clip name in the Finder

    What does happen if in the Finder I change the file name of a clip I have already mounted on the timeline of a project?

    The clip goes offline in the application, both in the timeline and in the event browser.

  • Flickr changing Master File name in sync'd albums

    Has anyone noticed that when syncing with Flickr from Aperture that the sync'd images get altered Master File names? This doesn't have an effect on the images in the Aperture projects, only on the images in the sync'd folders under Flickr. I just find this odd as the MobileMe sync'd images don't get their Master File names altered. Has anyone else noticed this?
    Also, do the sync'd images, say for MobileMe, Flickr, Facebook, etc get stored in the Aperture Library and subsequently in vaults? I was checking in my Aperture Library folder and it seems that they do. I am just wondering why Aperture would store this as it seems redundant to store the same images twice. Maybe I am misunderstanding something. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    We do a high volume of shooting with weddings, so it really is not feasible to dub tapes or similar to get proper timecode. It is not just this tape but every tape that seems to have problems with working with timecode, and that is from 4 different sony cameras and importing from various devices (but not an actual deck).
    If any other ideas pop up, please let me know. Two other odd pieces of information. When I attempt to reconnect, where it should show the names of the media to reconnect, this clip shows up blank, without even an extension. It is there as there is a blank portion that is highlighted blue and it lets you search, but when you try to reconnect it either says operation not allowed, or it goes through and nothing happens. The second thing is that when you get the info on the clip from the browser, it says the drive for the clip is missing. Not sure if that is simply because the clip is offline but the drive is showing up as connected, so I found it odd that it says that the drive is missing...

  • Multiclip changes source clip name

    Hi everyone. Strange problem here.
    We've been using Multiclip for a while, just upgraded all machines to FCP 7, and now we have an issue where switching angles in the Viewer will spontaneously change the source clip name.
    For example :
    - I've got 2 clips, Cam A and Cam B
    - Make a multiclip out of them
    - Open in Viewer
    - Switch angles from Cam A to Cam B in viewer
    - In the Browser, the clip Cam A is renamed as Cam B, NOT the multiclip
    Using the Browser's rename function to match clip to file name erroneously uses the last active angle on the faulty clip, instead of it's proper name.
    Tried on 2 different MacPros, same problem.
    Any clues?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I set my sequence settings to 640x480 and square pixel aspect ratio, but it says the vid rate is 30fps instead of 29.97. How do I change that?

  • Upgraded to Leopard, now fonts on clip ids in browser window unreadable

    Running FCE 2.0.2. Program works fine, I just can't read the titles of my clips in the bin in the browser window anymore. They're there, just kind of tiny and bold and mush. Is there a way to reset the display font in the bin/browser window? Ideas????
    Thanks, James

    Wait for 10.5.1, I guess, but you really can't expect FCE2 to run well on Leopard.

  • Changing the Title of the Browser window dynamically in WDA

    Hello All,
    I have a window created in WDA where I am looking at the possibility of changing dynamically the title displayed on the Browser window. I am aware that this title is derived from the description of the application created for the WD component.
    Is there any way to modify this title/description at any point in the flow?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sharat.

    Important to note to people who aren't SAP employees using this forum that NW 7.02 and 7.20 are not available yet. They are still within internal development at SAP. Ramp-Up for these releases are not scheduled to begin until Q4 2009 at the earliest.

  • When I change a clip name it changes all clip names

    In Event Browser or Inspector when I try and name a clip, or enter notes, the change I make appears in all clips as if all are linked.
    Thanks, Nick

    Naming is a minor part of the metadata, and probably the least useful.
    Use notes or named favorites
    Keyword notes might be a little better if you need the data to carry into the timeline

  • How do I change the "friendly name" for a Windows Azure subscription?

    I have multiple Windows Azure subscriptions named "Subscription-1" because this was the default name given to my clients when they signed up for the service. How can I change this?

    Craig,
    Login to your Microsoft Online Services Customer Portal at

    On the right side, in the list of "Actions", click on "Manage subscriptions".
    You will then see a list of your Subscriptions. On the right side in the Action column, select "Edit service details" and click the "Go" button for the Subscription you want to edit.
    You will then be prompted with a dialog that will allow you to modify your Subscription name.

  • Changing Clip Name

    I understand that the best time to name a clip is when capturing. And changing a clip name will pose a problem when reconnecting media.
    However, if the "clip name" is changed via "item properties" in the browser AND the "QT file" in the "Capture Scratch file" is changed at the finder level (or if Modify/Rename/File to Match Clip is used) is the above problem averted? Or is it more complex than that?
    Within a simple single project, if changing the clip name is OK using "Modify/Rename/File to Match Clip" why is changing a clip name considered so taboo?

    Where it's taboo is in collaborative projects (meaning you have to merge cuts with other editors, but using the same media) as well as projects that are offline/online, since a key piece of tracking data (especially with tapeless workflows) is the clip name.
    I'd consider most situations outside of those mentioned to be 'simple projects,' and thus hardly scenarios where changing clip names is taboo.

  • How to change the web icon in the browser window

    i have created my site and cant find how to change the icon in the browser window (like they have done at the top of this page with the Adobe icon before the  Adobe Forums: text )would anyone be kind enough to give me some help??

    Do you mean the favicon?
    I only just recently learned about favicons myself - so if you google the word you'll get lots of resources for it. Bascially it's a little icon file that sits at the root directory of your site that the browsers find and display for you. As long as the file is there (*named favicon.ico*) it will show up automatically if I'm correct in what I've read.
    Is this the thing you're looking for? (edit: it also shows up in your bookmarks list in firefox - if this is the one you want that's the favicon file)

  • Can I change the COMPUTER NAME of Windows Server ?

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to change the Computer Name of the Windows Server 2008, if Yes, what's the effect on all terminal profile on each station?
    ** We have many station that accessing some files thru pipe name ex: \\MyServer\Data\ hard coded on program public folders on server, but the newly installed server was named "MyServer2" can just rename it back to "MyServer" without problems
    on client station? " ***
    Thanks ^_^y

    Yes. You can change the name.
    You need to update all reference to new server name. You can try creating an Alias in DNS as a co-existence option.

  • Master clip duplication problem

    If I copy a master clip in the browser, then paste it, isn't the new clip supposed to independent? The Master Clip colunm is still showing a check beside the new clip.

    Actually, in the book Final Cut Pro 5 by Diana Weynand from the Apple Pro Training Series it specifically states that copying and pasting a master clip in the browser will not create a new master clip (p. 270). I tried it in 5.0.x and that is the case, the pasted clip is not a master clip. However, trying it in 5.1.2 the pasted clip does become a master clip.
    There were changes made to master clip behavior going from 5.0 to 5.1.2, but this change isn't mentioned in any of the documentation I've seen.
    If anyone else is working with the Final Cut Pro 5 book, there's another master clip discrepancy between the book and 5.1.x. On page 273 it says that you will get a warning when deleting a master clip from a project that has been used in a sequence. According to the late breaking news document at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/FinalCut_Pro_5.0_lbnz.pdf the warning dialog will no longer appear:
    Managing and Revealing Master Clips
    In previous versions of Final Cut Pro, affiliate clips shared data with a master clip stored in the Browser. If you deleted the master clip, a dialog would appear requesting confirmation that you wanted to break the master-affiliate clip relationship. If you clicked OK, all of the affiliated clips would become independent.
    In Final Cut Pro 5.1.2, deleting a master clip no longer breaks the relationship between affiliated clips. Instead, the master-affiliate clip relationship still exists even when the master clip in the Browser is deleted. No dialog appears when you delete a master clip.

  • Timeline and Project Bin Clip Names Not Linked

    I realize I could get booed out of the room for mentioning FCP7, but one painful issue I'm encountering with an imported project from Final Cut is that once a clip is put into a timeline, its name is not updated inthe timeline when the project clip name is updated.
    I took over a project that has numerous subclips with long, long names.  The prior editor did not use any metadata fields except for subclip names, so the names read like short stories.  These long names create a lot of visual distraction in the interface and result in interface tabs that are so long they hide the remaining tabs in the source window.
    In FCP 7 I would simply rename a clip and each incidence of that clip/subclip in the timeline would update at the same time.  It was beautiful and elegant.
    I'd love to hear the logic as to why PP doesn't operate this way.  In our imperfect world it's not possible to control what previous editors have done before a handoff, epecially now with lots of legacy XML coming into PP and AVID from old Final Cut Projects.
    I can think of a number of other scenarios for which linking the names timeline and project clips would be a huge help (changes to a project scope, user error, etc). 
    I should ask:  am I overlooking a setting in the preferences or something?  Anyone else run into this issue?

    I really preferred how FCP7 works.  I think Premiere Pro would benefit from this change too.  If you don't want clips in the TL to updated with clips in the bin (maybe I'm missing something, but I can't imagine in everyday use where you might want to do this), an independent clip could be created that then breaks that relationship.
    I think consistency is important and its very difficult to keep a consistent universe of clips when a change in clip name is needed.  I have to respectfully disagree with Jim on this.  I know how I like to work.  Everyone has their own ways, and their is no one right or wrong way, but I see this "feature" as a particular deficit of functionality in PP that will be addressed soon.

  • Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names

    Can you Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names in the event original media folder? in version 10.0.8 it automatically allocates date / time of the event. I need it to keep the original clip name i:e Clip0100 event folder original media Clip0100. I am aware you can change the clip name to original once in FCP X, But it's the event folder original media name which I want to remain as the original file name.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the response.
    I am aware you can do this change in the Info inspector so the original clip name from camera is used in the event library browser, but it does not change the clip name in the Final Cut Events Original Mieda file. This still remains as an event clip name "2013-05-23 17_08_13". I need the original clip name Clip0100 to remain as Clip0100 at import. FCP X doesn't seem to allow this happen any more in version 10.0.8.
    Cheers

  • Need Help Centering Page in Browser Window

    I'm designing my pages by creating a graphic framework in
    Photoshop, slicing and exporting images into css using Fireworks to
    a Dreamweaver html page. These pages look great; but they load into
    the upper left corner of the browser window
    I was taking a Dreamweaver class at the Denver Art Institute,
    that was worthless. I dropped the class after the 4th week and am
    now teaching myself. I asked the teacher how to center this kind of
    page in a browser window, so the page would behave like most
    webpages, centering as you change the width of the browser window.
    I also wanted to add a repeating pattern in a background image. She
    told me that she didn't know how, that I would have to build the
    background into my Photoshop file. So, that's what I've been doing.
    However, when people with smaller monitors change pages within a
    site the built-in background requires them to recenter the page
    manually each time.
    Is there a way to center the page and add a background image
    that is not built in? I've tried using Dreamweaver's background
    image and margins in the Page Properties; but that just pushes the
    page to the upper left and adds the background to the right and
    bottom of the page.

    >I was taking a Dreamweaver class at the Denver Art
    Institute, that was worthless
    Yes, those classes usually are worthless because they focus
    on using the tool without giving you the proper foundation for
    understanding and managing html and css. Unfortunately, all of the
    example sites you gave you AP Divs (layers) as a primary layout
    method, which is a terrible approach. AP Divs should be used rarely
    if ever, and only when you understand how they work. When the
    visitors font is sized differently than you expected, the site
    falls apart. The correct approach is to learn web
    design/development outside of the context of a specific
    application.
    http://www.w3schools.com/html/
    is a good place to start for a basic understanding of html and css.
