Naming Clips In Rush

Hello @Carol36757100fqoz,

Thanks for the report. I appreciate the information.

When you import a file,,, it does not use that file name as the clip name,, only "Sequence 01"

The clip name is retained when you import a media file into the Project panel.

Once you click on the clip (or clips) and click the Create button, your project will contain those clips and a new Sequence (timeline).

Your sequence will be named "Sequence 01" by default.

Right-click the meatball menu (three dots) and choose to rename your sequence.

Rush does not let you copy the text from the filename you are importing so you can paste it into the name of the clip.  You have to type it in.

You cannot rename your clips in the Project panel, only the Sequence (timeline) can be renamed. Sorry about that.

But it does not matter because when you hit "share" Rush does not use the name of the clip you set up in the first step. it goes back to untitled.  And you cannot copy the text from the clip title at the top of the screen so you could paste it into the filename.  You have to type it out AGAIN.

Before sharing, try renaming the Sequence to the desired name you want before exporting the file. Copy and paste should work in the Sequence Rename Sequence dialog box.

Dont care if this is a "scaled down version" you should be able to name your damn files...

True that you can't rename clips, but you can rename sequences and projects. To be honest, I rarely change the names of my clips, but I do want to control the naming of my sequences and projects. That helps me stay more organized. However, you can change the names of your clips Premiere Pro. I'm not sure why the product team has not yet added that feature.

I hope the advice helps. Sorry for the frustration.

Thanks,
Kevin
