Naming clips captured with 'Now' function?

Hi Gang,

I've got to capture 14 hours of HDV with broken time-code. I want to capture each tape using the 'Now' function. Is there a way that I can have FCP add a name & number automatically to the clips as they are being captured? Rather than me having to rename all the 'untitled' clips in the media afterwards?

All ears,

Ben

Can't seem to find a reference to this in the manual.

Apologies. Just figured it out. I 'log' a clip (without in's and out's), name it. Then start the tape and hit 'Now'. Not too painful. Everything working perfectly now.

All the best...

Ben

Or just capture the clips, delete the reference clips in the project file, rename the files in Finder with a batch-rename software like R-Name, then drag all the clips back into the Browser. Make Log Notes and other metadata only after you re-import the clips.

Hi Derek,


R-name a super idea. But when I went to their site, the download wasn't working. I'll check again later.


Much appreciated,

Ben
