RE: Renaming clips in FCP
I had a cliet that sent me a DVD with a shot list. They sent the whole shoot at a single dv file. TC is destrpoyed. I am a bit new to FCP and am cutting up the master clip and want to rename the individual clips.
I know this is a no brianer, but I am under a time crunch and con’t have a lot of resourse material at my location.
Thanks in advance.

I can’t understand the situation. Could you read your question and explain it in another way? Do the timecodes correspond to the file on the DVD? If they do, import the EDL and connect the offline clips to the file. If the timecodes are accurate it should be peachy.
Hope this helps-

Sorry about that. Today is a mess. Lets say I hav a clip of video and I drop it in the time line and want to start cutting it up with the razor tool. I just want to be able to name the clips as I seperate them for book keeping purposes.
does that make more sense?

Nelson,to do what you are saying is simple. You can cut up your clip with the razor tool or by using the default selection tool and hitting cntrl-v with the clip selected. Then just click on your clip (may have to do this one at a time) and to to Modify – Make Indepenent Clip. Then you can drag them all into your bins and see them as seperate clips and then rename them each individually.
