Sequence and clip names keep changing

[Mark Chapin]

Darius,

Unfortunately this work around doesn’t work forever. I started having the same problem within every bin. My next step was to open a project for each version. Kind of a pain but when you need your clips identifiable, you need your clips identifiable. Hopefully they will fix it in the new year!

Have a happy one!

I had this problem, found a work around and have had no problem with it for weeks. The first thing I did was get the latest update of Final Cut 7. It worked okay for a bit, but the problem came back.

Someone on the forum mentioned that freeze frames could be a problem. I noticed that the first shot on my sequence was a freeze frame. Once I removed it, I no longer had the problem. I think it’s a bug with version 7.

Unfortunately you have to get to the problem before the name changes. I would go into your back up and find the latest version before the names have changed. Then I’d remove your freeze frames.

Hi,

Where do I get 7.0.1? I just went to the Apple site and searched for it. Didn’t see it.

Thanks

7.0.3 is the latest. And just use the Software Update in the System Preferences to get you there.

Hey all,

Just to let you know I think I’ve found the solution. It is definitely a freeze frame issue. If you’re duplicating a sequence, make sure to delete the freeze frame before duplicating. Once you delete them, duplicate that sequence and all should be good.

I am running FCP 7.0 on Snow Leopard. I think it’s because of this that I’ve experienced this issue.

Thanks 🙂
