  • XDCam HD “Clip Name” vs “Clip Title”

    Posted by Ed Cilley on September 12, 2008 at 9:28 pm

    I also posted this in the Avid Editing Forum.

    We logged our disc and created new names for each clip in the Logging window (Clip Title). This does not change the “Clip Name” in the Information window.

    When importing to Avid, we don’t get this new “Clip Title” that we entered in the Logging window, we see the Clip Name (i.e., C005S01). How can we get the Clip Title to appear in the Avid–preferrable as the Name?

    Using MC 3.0 software only version on Mac.

    Thanks for your help.

    Anything worth doing at all, is worth doing well.

    I had this problem, and I found out that I had checked “Add source name” in the XDCam transfer software preferences/Import. Uncheck “Add source name” and it should accept the clip name. Hope that helps.

    Also, you name the clip in the Information panel, not the logging panel.
