I would like to Rename Clip to Match File Name as well, which can be done in FCP.

A perfectly good situation that requires that in Premiere is the current case I’m dealing with.

Someone started a Premiere CC 2014 project using a combination of Lumix GH4 4K and 1080 footage, and some Panasonic AVCHD/MTS media. All without transcoding first.

They were complaining about constant crashes, which were being caused by the use of the original h264 files. I did a ‘Match Source’ conversion to ProRes using Prelude/Media Encoder and linked media to those new files. Now the project works and scrubs through the 4K like butter. However, the clip names still have the .MP4 and .MTS file suffix which I’d like to update to what the actual medial files are now, .mov.

A simple Rename Clip to File Name would be extremely helpful here. The only other way to do it is to update the name manually, or to right-click and Replace Media by pointing to the same source file and checking the Rename Clip to File Name box in the window that pop-ups. Still, this has to be done one file at a time, and is more time-consuming than renaming one-by-one in the bin.
