    I am trying to write a script to copy the “comments” field of a clip to the “name” field of the same clip for an entire bin. I thought this would be easy, but I haven’t gotten it working yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Media100 12.1.3/PPC/10.4.11

    The script basically should look like this:

    “tell application “Media 100 Producer”
    activate
    repeat with i from 1 to the number of clips in the front bin
    set name of clip i of front bin to (comments of clip i of front bin as text)
    end repeat
    end tell

    It seems like Media 100 for some reason does shorten the clip name more than necessary, though. Not sure what happens there; maybe I have time to look into this in more detail later.

    Thanks for the quick response. That worked perfectly. I was missing the part “as text”. That was a huge help!
