  Quick way to add sequential Takes to Clips metadata

  Posted by Daniel Elder on February 9, 2015 at 10:04 pm

  So I have 100’s of clips / takes for a TV Pilot I’m editing. I’m organizing all my clips right now and its super easy and great, except for adding takes to a series of clips. So if I have scene 1 and it has 40 takes in it, is there a way to quickly add the takes if everything is in order already? Kind of like how in EXCEL you can drag the box down to create a number sequence, can you do that in FCPX?

  Thanks
  Daniel

  « Shot notes x » can insert metadata from csv ( usually from notes taken on the set)

  or simply renaming selected clips of the event via the inspector ( Apply custom name menu) could modify the name sequentially following a define rule, this however does not edit the metadata

  Okay cool, I’ll try the csv route, but it was a small crew so we didn’t have anyone to take notes :-/

  Thanks
