Canon clips importing into PP all with the same name CLIPS001

[Mark Dagostino]

I import using Prelude without transcoding and found that it started doing that a few updates ago. It brings in all the subfolders, content/clips, for the .mxf files. When I import I get the same as you. My workaround has been to take the .mxf files out of the clips folder and move them to my top level footage folder for that project and that works to keep the renamed filenames when importing. I’m not sure why this happens now but it’s a pain. My other workaround is to transcode to .mov files. These import with proper filenames nicely. Not the ideal answer. Hopefully someone from Adobe will chime in.

Thanks. Yeah, you would think Adobe would address this. Thanks, Scott

Dont know which version you are using but this was fixed a long time ago.

Change folder CLIPS001 to CLIPS002. That should do it.

Fix or workaround??
