Batch rename clips
When you import media into Final Cut Pro, the clips often contain meaningless names,
such as those assigned by the camera. Although you can rename clips individually,
you can also automatically rename a selection of clips as a batch (batch rename) in
the Event Browser, after the media has been imported into Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro
provides customizable naming presets that make renaming large amounts of clips
ecient and easy.
Batch rename clips using a naming preset
1 In the Event Browser, select the clips you want to rename.
2 To open the Info inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (shown below),
and click the Info button at the top of the pane that appears.
3 Choose Apply Custom Name from the Action pop-up menu and choose a naming
preset from the submenu.
The clips selected in the Event Browser are renamed.
