  • Final Cut Pro 6.0.4 workflow???

    Posted by Steve Cohen on August 2, 2008 at 7:04 pm

    I’m trying to change the name of my disk and clips before I bring the clips into Final Cut Pro.

    I can make the changes under the logging tab only, but I am unable to save them.

    I see the dot next to the disk symbol, but when I go to file, Save is grayed out.

    Some one had suggested changing the name of the disk right on the Mac desktop. It won’t let me do that either.

    I know, you’re going to say the dusk is write protected.
    That is what I thought.

    The protection is off (I can see the little red warning in the window), but just to be sure I tried it in both positions and still the same results.

    So as of know I am importing the files from Final Cut and then changing the clip and reel names in there.

    There has to be a better way.

    Thanks;

    I haven’t worked with XDCAM disks but can you not change the name using the “Get Info” dialogue box? Highlight the disk icon and hit Cmd-I. See if you can change the name there. Just a thought.

    OK, I give it a try on Moanday when I get back in the office.

    Thanks

    No that didn’t work either.

    This is really frustrating.

    Thanks Don.

    Are you using Sony’s XDCAM transfer?

    Yes I am.

    I’m using the latest version. (The # escapes me right now because I am not in front of it).
