change name of clip in browser and ripple to project?

Jeremy,

Thanks. And I stand not only corrected but delighted that re-naming isn’t such a big deal in X.

Jeremy,

Does a Batch Rename in the Event Library maintain the correct relationship to the source footage further down the line?

For instance, say the H.264 Camera Source clip is A001_C001_123456.MOV.

-I run it through MPEG Streamclip and end up with a ProRes file.

-During the edit, I modify the clip name to ‘Pack Shot Track In

-6 Months later, after I’ve deleted the ProRes footage and the client requests a change, will the Event Library point back to the original clip, ie A001_C001_123456.MOV ?

Sandeep.

PS: I haven’t worked with FCPX, but am considering using it on a beauty spot next month so am working my way through the forums 🙂

Hey, Sandeep.

First, I will qualify that I haven’t had a chance to run through every single permutation of media management scenario with X.

If you bring in h264 material to X, then bring in a ProRes copy of that material to X that was made in a third party app, X will treat that footage as two separate elements.

My advice would be to let X make the ProRes movies, and then both the h264 and ProRes movies will be tracked by the FCPX database. You can delete the ProRes movies, and have X recreate them at any time.

Renaming the movies using the tools in X is completely non destructive. In my testing (which doesn’t include every single scenario) everything has always reconnected as long as you import to FCPX first, then create your optimized media from there.

Please let me know if that makes sense.

Jeremy
