'Create timeline with clip name' request.

PostThu Sep 12, 2019 8:30 am

In the dropdown for creating timelines it would be lovely to have 'Create timeline with same name as clip'. If that's possible. Unless i'm experiencing a malfunction and it's already there somewhere. Which can happen. A lot.

That goes along with the following, I think.

Definite +1 to this! It's super frustrating to have to manually rename the timeline, when you're creating it from a single clip. I do a lot of color-correction on VFX plates that have very specific naming schemes, and the only thing I want to do to the timeline name is call it "ORIGINALFILENAME.graded".

+1!!!
Please make it possible.

Even better, make it a Batch function. I would love to select multiple Clips and create multiple Timelines.

I do a lot of quick trailer editing for a TV Station. Every Timeline is presenting a individual show. It would be nice to select the 3-6 Shows that where send to me each day and just create 3-6 Timelines with one Click.

Well it might be overkill for a lot of people who only need a single timeline, but it comes aswell from my experience in Motion Graphics and VFX.
There I am using often After Effects to edit a lot of Clips on an individually base and I want to keep the naming consistent for my clients and stay organized. In AE you can create a Composition(= Timeline) not only based on a Clips name, but you can "Create multiple compositions from multiple footage items" in one mouseclick and everything will keep the correct name. I find this a great timesaver and a good way to organise since I can sort those Compositions in Folders like "to do", "work in progress" and "finished".

Thanks to the addition of the "Fusion Page" I can slowly retire After Effects and recreate that worklow in Resolve.

Sorry i got overboard with the length of my response.

Any updates on this? I would love this as well, I shoot and edit stock and whenever I need to alter a clip I have to search through a ton of stuff to find the timeline that has the clip I'm looking for3
