Blackmagic Forum

This is a duplicate of the post that I originally raised in October last year in the DR Beta Feedback forum. But as it is still unresolved in 16.2 and frustrating ...

There appears to be at least 2 issues with the naming/renaming of duplicated Compound Clips.

1) The newly created duplicate compound clip appears in the Media Pool with the same name as the original. i.e. 2 copies of 'CompClip X'

2) You can rename a duplicated Compound Clip (i.e. 'CompClip X #3') and the new name appears OK in the Media Pool, but when you open that new Compound Clip in Source Viewer or Timeline -- it will be labelled as 'CompClip X copy' etc.

I have tried a couple of different duplication methods (Ctrl-C/V, "Edit" > "Duplicate Clip", Right-Click "Duplicate Clip") -- with the same end result.

A number of other users have also confirmed the issue.

Same here.

For me works as expected - no problem with renaming and using compounds after duplicate them by dragging to media pool. Names show correctly on all timelines. My version 16.1.2 (yes i can update... but i am in the middle of important project)

This duplicate compound clip naming issue now appears to be resolved in DR17b1.
