  • Tape Name? Why can’t I enter one for my composition?

    Posted by Bryan Colvin on December 16, 2014 at 11:31 pm

    I want to be able to modify tape names, is this possible?

    I want to be able to give a tape name like VFX001

    Currently I have to render the composition, import into FCP7 and modify the tape / reel name. THEN it writes it to the file.

    I’d love to be able to do this without that extra step inside FCP7

    Thanks in advance to your shared knowledge!

    I hear ya. Its just a pain when you have 300 VFX shots that all need tape names and you need them for the online conforming process to work 🙂

    This would make a good feature request [link].

    You could also use QtChange [link] or QT Edit [link] to modify reel names.
