    Dear all,

    Sorry if this has come up before but a quick search didn’t reveal the answer.

    I have masses of mov files from a Canon 5D shoot. Hundreds of them. I really want to give them reel names so that dupe detection will work etc. But I don’t want to do it one by one in the browser.

    I am already accustomed to renaming all these clips by location and date and an incremented number for each clip. I do that with Automator.

    Is there a way, maybe in cine tools or a third party package, to copy the clip name into the reel column?

    Many thanks for any ideas.

    John
