footage name
Hi, i m working on a documentary, and i ve got a lot of footage witch are not named the same in the fcp project and on the system. Is there a way to convert all my files name into the hard drive with the same name they ve got in the fcp project ?

Not unless you rename the clips on the scratch drive manually and then re-import. This is one of the good things about logging and capturing…it allows you to name the clip BEFORE it is captured, then it keeps that name.
It there any reason you need it to have the same name? YOu never really should be touching the original media files anyway.

i had some timecode rupture during the capture and i had to recapture few parts, but now i have severals clip in different folder with the same name, and i don t know witch are the ones witch are with the final cut project. Shure i can manualy check every single clip’s source in fcp, but i was just wondering if there is a way to simply rename all my clips in fcp, then apply those new names directly on the sources to be abble more easely to delete the extra others.

I believe all the suggestions we gave you are the only way. To actually go to the media in the scratch folder and re-name. I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST THIS. This can cause all sorts of problems.
Why do you want to do this?

The only way I know of is to select the clip in the browser, go to VIEW>REVEAL IN FINDER. This will show you the clip on your scratch disk. Then you rename it what you have in the browser.
One by one…that is the only way I know.
