Renaming clips and subclips in the timeline

I like to make some better order in the time line by renaming subclips based on what a talent says. But I cant find the way to to it. Its just rightclip and choose rename clip in premiere. How do you do it in davinci. If found a old thread so I thought its time to make a new thread (it was no good solution in the old thread).

Normally you would rename clips and subclips in the media pool, not the timeline. Their names will then carry through to the timeline. If you've already got clips in the timeline and want to change their names, one way is to right click on the clip and choose "find in media pool," which will highlight that clip in the media pool; just double click on its name in the media pool to rename it.

But a normal workflow would be to go through your clips in the media pool first, assigning keywords, selecting in/out ranges (you can select multiple ranges in the same clip if you change the i/o points to duration markers), and naming the ranges, or creating subclips and naming those. Then when you edit those clips into the timeline, their names will appear on the timeline clips.

Thanks for the tip. But I like the way in premiere you can rename the clips in the timeline with out affecting the actual source name of the clip. Alot of times I write some thing so that I remember what the clip is about or what one is talking about. That way I dont have to watch clips over and over to find a clip. Because you have this info in the timeline. I like to pancake timelines.

Right click on the clip
Choose CLIP ATTRIBUTES
Select NAME
Type a new name in the "Clip name field"
Press OK
Make sure VIEW>SHOW FILE NAMES is de selected.

This procedure does NOT change the original file name.

Neither the method I showed you nor the method Jack showed you affect the actual source name of the clip. Both work; Jack's is simpler because you can do everything in the timeline without highlighting the clip in the media pool, but the number of mouse-clicks is actually the same.

Thanks Jack, I had prior to my post changed the name in the attribute but I did not se any changes. Now it works as it should once i de selected the "show file names".

I only wish now it would work on subclips aswell
(If you cut a clip in and change the second half your first half will take the same name).
Then this would be a homerun.


Thanks again

All subclips will have the same file name as the source clip. But each subclip from the same master clip can be given a unique name in either the 'clip name' column of the media page or through clip attributes.

Hi everybody!

I have a unusual question about this topic.

Can I export using as filename the sublicp name?

Let's say I have a clip called Clip_1.mov

I divide the clip into 3 sublcip, A, B and C.

I would like to export as individual clips using something like this:

Clip_1_A.mov
Clip_1_B.mov
Clip_1_C.mov

Thanks in advance!

This is not a solution.
I'd like to be able to create a new clip from a clip effectively.

You can copy and past the same audio clip numerous times and put that into the timeline but you can't the other way around, it'd be nice if cutting the clip AND renaming it made it a distinct version of the original source clip (the same as duplicating the clip in the media pool does).

For now I've resorted to making audio clips compound clips and renaming those

Can I export using as filename the sublicp name?

I think you can use %Clip Name - in the Render settings filename box to reference the unique subclip name.

In Premiere - you can change the name of any clip or asset but I can't figure that out in Resole.

In this project we are using the Jitter title template hundreds of times and they all just say Jitter. Not the actual words like "JBL Flip 5" (which is the words for that top left Jitter in the screenshot. The lower title says "Review and Pro Tips". But also, on the timeline just shows Jitter, Jitter.

How can I see the words used in a title - which one is which - and change that name?

Right click reveals the screenshot here.



A feature request I would imagine you right click on the file in the timeline, then click "rename clip" > and then you rename whatever it is right? .mp4, a solid color, a graphic, a title?

This is what it looks like now which is so not helpful.



Thanks for the help!

Text titles will show the title as part of the clip name.

I could not find a way with Text+ (Fusion) titles, though.

This was very helpful, thanks for sharing Jack!
