Rename Clips in Media Pool "error"?

PostMon Aug 02, 2021 10:58 am

Hello,
on my other Computer System i can Simply click on a name of a clip in the Thumbnail view and i can edit the name there. When i put this clip to the timeline then, the clip is renamed there too. So it works as it should.

On my other PC i can't get this to work. Is there a setting for that? Image
When i click on the names in the thumbnail view there nothing changes.
And when i change the clip name in other ways, the changed names dont appear on the timeline.
There is still displayed the original file name.

What do i wrong?

I don't believe there's a setting in Resolve that would prevent the click/rename from working.

There might be an OS reason. Make sure Display Scaling is set to 100%.

On the Timeline issue, you have verified the name you want is listed in Clip Attributes?

There's a distinction between what are referred to as "clip names" and file names. You can change clip names but not file names. On one computer you're probably displaying file names and on the other, clip names.

Hey thanks for your help/ replys.
Maybe this is an OS reason, because one System has an other Win10 built than the other.

Today it worked without any problems, i dont know why but it worked as it should :?

- Windows 10 Pro 64bit
- i7 4770k
