Just bounced a clip to a new layer and discovered that when I rename the clip (and the Fairlight clip view menu is set to show clip name, not file name) it reverts to the file name. Same behavior from the FAE editor, the right click Clip Attributes and the Inspector File attributes.

I tried toggling the view option to File Name and back to Clip Name, no change.

This seems to have broken with the 17.2 upgrade.

Not reproducing this behaviour on my systems, so a little more detail is required.

Which process was used?
Bounce Audio Effects or Bounce Track to New Layer?

Clip Name is enabled in the View Clip Info Display dialog?
View menu > Show File Names is not enabled?
No Reel Name preference defined in Clip Attributes?

Hey Thor, it's working as it should here too.

Hi Reynaud, Andy,

this is using Bounce Track to New Layer with a Range defined and plugins on the clip, running it from the FAE.

The new clip bounces, I can see the effects are printed.

When I go to rename the clip, it reverts back to the FL_Bounce_etc... name as soon as I hit enter.

Is there some other setting that dictates clip naming?

Hello. Can you make a short phone recording of this behavior - we followed your steps and do not see the issue here.

Hi Rohit,

I made a video, but the forum will not let me upload it (mp4 and/or mov).

Where can I send it to you?

Thor, just post a link to Dropbox or other file hosting service.
