Clip Name Upgrade
Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2018 5:49 pmI'd love to have the option of automatically setting the Clip Name (under Clip Attributes) according to certain parameters.
Here's what I mean. BMD cameras record Camera_Reel Number_Date_Time_Clip Number as both the File Name and the Clip Name. This is seen as below.
A_2_2018-08-18_1728_C0005
In various parts of the user interface, that Clip Name is just too long, and it conveys information frequently unneeded while editing. I'd love a checkbox to turn off each section of that Clip Name. For my needs, I'd turn off the date and time, to get this:
A_2_C0005
Above is a much more useful display while editing. Other editors might not need the Camera and Reel Number, and would just end up with this:
C0005
Some might want the date and time only:
2018-08-18_1728
The point is this kind of en masse customization in the Clip Name properties would be a very useful addition to Resolve 15.
