    Force object rename in the timeline

    Posted by Alex Udell on April 6, 2011 at 2:58 pm

    Hi All…

    when dragging and dropping objects to the timeline to swap footage or stills, I notice that sometimes the layer name will change to show the new layer name, and sometimes it won’t.

    Is there some way to control this behavior, it seems a bit random.

    thx,

    Alex

    If you’ve renamed the layer, your name will stick. Otherwise, it will be replaced. That’s how it should be working.

    hmmm

    I’ll see if I can duplicate that consistently.

    Don’t think so though.

    thanks….
