  FCP6 “Rename file to match clip” function being weird.

  Posted by Hugh Sundae on May 4, 2009 at 3:23 am

  I’ve searched COW regarding this, and perhaps this is just simply a bug, and I should only use the FC6 Rename function in smaller batches, but here goes anyway..

  After laboriously going through my captured reel’s last night and giving each clip a proper name based on the slate info eg EP2_19_1_1_A and then selecting all the clips and doing a “rename file to match clip”, I have opened my project today to find a whole bunch of missing connections.

  A small heart attack as I’d gone into my capture scratch after to check they had all renamed correctly.

  What I find really strange, is when I select a clip to reconnect, it’s still in the browser as what I changed it to (like the above eg) and it still is in the capture scratch – so i don’t know why the connection was lost.

  Stranger still – the file name that it asks me to find when I reconnect is it’s name before it was changed.

  To try and make this sound clearer…

  The file was captured as B
  I renamed the clip in the browser from B to A.
  I used the rename file to match clip function to change the file to A

  And now – the file and clip are both named A, but it’s asking me to find B

  confused? I am.

  please help!

  Cheers

  Hugh
