Clip sorting

[Jeremy Garchow]

You have to rename clips 1-9 with “forestanding zeros”

thanks for your reply, so i have to rename clip 1 to 99 with two leading zeros… 😉

would you prefer if final cut would add two or more leading zeros by default?

[alex_f] “so i have to rename clip 1 to 99 with two leading zeros.”

No.

Just 1 – 9. and only add one leading zero.

01
02
03
04
05
06
07
08
09

20 will automatically show up next after 19 if you now have “2” marked as “02”.

[Alexander Feichter]

that’s right, but 117 lies between 11 and 12…

Yup. that’s the kind of thing you learn to do after something like this happens to you.

For the record, Avid doesn’t put leading zeroes in, either, unless you start out with them.

Likely you’ll use the zeroes in naming your clips from now on, eh?

🙂 thanks, man

ok, i have to clarify: dv-footage and scene detection. fc generates markers without leading zeros…

did you know that on the avid the subclips are sorted in the right order? 😉
