Yes there are still file names present.

With this project we modified the tape source for each clip to have another layer of organization. We assign each location production is shooting a number and wanted to bring that number across to each clip for easy relinking to camera originals. BTW we are not on a unity system.

Other projects we have not done this with – we just thought we were getting more organized. It’s just that we do already go in and modify clips to correct the amount of audio tracks we want (the F5 seems to generate 8 audio tracks in the field and we bring the clips to just 2 tracks). So at the same time we found that universally we could modify the tape source and quickly pop in our identifier number for that location. It saved us from manually pasting in the number under the Tape ID column for 300 clips for each location.

We did find a work around – it’s slow but we are bale to relink to the camera originals and have the clips pop up in out timeline. I can explain the process if any one is interested.
