Clip name in Event vs Timeline

I am getting organized, and changed the names of the clips in the Event Browser after making the Projects.
Is there any way to change the name of the clips in the Timeline to reflect the updated clip names in the Browser?
Thanks,
Sonny

As 10.0.3 has a manual relink feature - if you rename a browser clip I suggest you keep the original file number as part of the name, that way if it ever goes offline and won't relink automatically for any reason (and after over 20 years of using NLEs believe me it will happen sometime) you can navigate to the original media.

Audio clip names not appearing in timeline

In Premiere CC, none of my audio tracks display the clip name. The video tracks do just fine, but the audio tracks are just blank. They play fine, but don't display the cip name. I tried going through settings but nothing seems to fix it. I've tried starting a new project with different audio clips but still same problem.
Running Premiere CC (with latest update) on Mac Pro running Mountain Lion.

From the Timeline panel, select the Timeline Display Settings (wrench icon)> Show Audio Names.

Names do not correspond timeline media manager

Hello,
I'm trying to use media manager to send a timeline with only the used media to Da Vinci. Something weird happens with the names of clips that come from the same source clip. Normally MM makes a new source clip for every clip in the timeline with the same name but adds a number. For instance, 2011104-1_guate2161_01 would become 2011104-1_guate2161_01 1, 2011104-1_guate2161_01 2 and so on. In this project only the first new source clip in the timeline has the full name. The new source clips that follow are called 2011104-1 2, 2011104-1 2 and so on. These names do not correspond the clip names in the new timeline which is not a problem for FCP. DaVinci however doesn't recognize these names and needs the full names (inc guate_2161_1) based on the xml.
I tried both naming options in MM but the same problem occurs. Any ideas?
cheers

I found the solution,
After the MM proces, take all clips in the new timeline offline and reconnect them again with the new master clips. The names in the timeline now correspond the names of the new master clips. Next make a new xml and voila!

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it.

Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

An event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing.

an event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name in the browser just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing. After control clicking the event it shows all the media that has been previously imported. But it does not allow anything to be done to the event including deleting. This showed up at the beginning of a normal import session. This is fortunately the back-up evant.

Did you perhaps mess with the contents of the library in the Finder?

How do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

how do remap drive names and not lose project clip links to Event names...?

You will need an extra external drive. All moves must be done within iMovie to preserve your links to the projects.
First Move (command-drag) the event to the extra drive. Make sure the project still works.
Then rename, reformat, or repartition your drive as needed. Then, if you want, move the Event back to the newly named drive, again via Command-Drag within iMovie.

Display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor

Is there a way to display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor? Clip names are usually set by the camera and are of no use to me. What i would like the clip and the source monitor to display is the name of the shot from the metadata. That's,in my opinion, a very useful info when you're editing a film. If that feature doesn't exist, is there a way to batch rename clips based on metadata?

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place. Help

I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place it moves to the right and is max out which makes every clip that I bring to the timeline expanded.

What format etc. are the video clips and what were they shot on?
Before you do anything else, trash the preferences with this free app:-

I need to flip a clip in the event library, not timeline. Is that possible?

I have a clip that is upsidedown and want to flip it in the event library and then work on clips. Can I do that? Is all editing available in the event library?
Also, when I flip my upsidedown image in the timeline (not where I wanted to do it), the thumbnails don't flip even after it's done rendering. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

Hello Luis,
Did what you wrote and it is indeed done. BTW, the timeline which appears when we do this procedure, what of it? Will it be a separate 'project' on the timeline or will it go away once such editing is done?
This is the timeline for that specific clip. In FCP X each clip can be opened in its own timeline.
If you again select the same clip in the event libraryand choose "open in timeline" there you'll have it.

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.

How do you move a clip from one event to a different event

Can't find anyway to do this. Seems pretty likely I'm overlooking the obvious.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean move clips from one event to another, you can just drag them in the Libraries pane. Or go to the File menu and use the Move Clip command.
If you mean from one project timeline to another, use copy and paste. Or just edit the edited source clip from the event in the browser to the other timeline.

How do I move clips from one Event to another?

How do I move clips from one Event to another?
As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
Thanks for your help!

How do I split a single event with many clips into multiples events, one event per date?

I archived the video from my AVCHD camera into a Final Cut video archive. Later I imported this into iMovie. All the clips from this archive (spanning several months) are dumped into a single event. If I recall, older versions of iMovie would import video into separate events for each day. Then I would go through and give each event a meaningful name (e.g., "Mary's Birthday").
This is what I would like. Is there a way to split this very long event into multiple events, one for each day that is present in the event?

Not automatically but with imovie 10 you can create new events with any name you like then move clips into them from other events (Just like FCP 10.1). See:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov1d890f00b
You can also choose to display clips in an event grouped by date.

How can i see clip name?

i can only see the length of a clip. can i see the name of the clip file as well?

Right-click (or Control-click) on the clip and select Reveal in Finder from the pop-up menu. That will take you to the source clip in the Event in Finder, where details of the clip (including the name) will be shown.

Clip name effect not working correctly in 2014/2014.1

I'm referring to these notes from the latest bug fixes here...
Bugs fixed in Premiere Pro 2014.1 Release | Premiere Pro work area
"Clip name effect doesn’t work correctly if Source Track is set to a different track."
"The Clip Name effect does not work when applied to a transparent video track item, with Source Track set to a video clip."
I've just updated Premiere (2014.1) to specifically fix these two bugs. The Clip name effect isn't using the correct file names. It uses something close but not quite e.g. clip 100 shows as 100B which is down the timeline.
The effect is applied to a transparent layer (have also tried it in a black video layer) and the clip name drawn from a different video track (video/PNGs in track 1, transparent video and effect is in track 3). This problem only appears when videos are in the timeline. When used with stills (PNGs) it works fine.
Any idea of a fix or workaround that isn't using some kind of titling filter? I'm looking to automate the shot naming process for a pipeline in creating animation animatics and this would be perfect. If to actually worked properly.
Using Premiere on a Mac Book Pro with 10.9.5.

Anyone from Adobe care to offer some insight as it's something that is reportedly fixed?
