Do you rename your video clips?
Posted by Dallas Kruse on July 29, 2022 at 4:39 pmI’m importing a ton of clips from something we filmed. Do you guys rename your clips according to scene/take/etc or do you leave them as is so you can reference the original name if needed?

July 29, 2022 at 4:45 pmThere is scene/take metadata fields, so you should add that information there. Leave the filename as is. You can rearrange the browser columns to show you scene/take if you’d like.
Also, do you have separately recorded audio, and did you use slates and have timecode jammed from audio to camera? If so, the audio files usually have scene take info, and as long as your tc matches, a program called Sync-N-Link X will sync all of that information for you and carry over the scene/take info in to FCPX.

July 29, 2022 at 4:48 pmWe multi-tracked audio into Pro Tools. Slates=yes. I didn’t jam TC from audio to camera … that’s above my knowledge level 🙁
