can u change the ‘tape name’ of a clip once it has been captured?

I believe when you first import the EDL and the files are offline, you can double click on them and change the meta data.

You should be able to open the .edl file in a text editor and then use find and replace to rename the tape. I tested with this in notepad and it worked fine.

Good Luck,

thx for the response, I know I can fix it in notepad, but unfortunately there are heaps of clips all over the place and i would prefer not to do it this way…

just a little BG…

I am on FCP5.04 and the file made for me is from premier 6.5… having heaps of issues.. Have just found out i can change the reels via FCP so that’s all good now…..

anyone had experience with importing premier 6.5 into FCP?

Can you “replace all” in notepad to fix all occurances in one shot?

FYI, within Premiere, you can change the reel name – under the File menu, choose the ‘Timecode…’ entry after selecting a clip in the project window.

(Unfortunately, there’s no way to select multiple clips and change them all with this dialog in one shot. Sounds like a good feature request…)
