just new today (Nov 20 2019). When I import or ingests or drap and drop footage into a project, they are all named CLIPS001. Camera is a Canon C200 shot at UHD 59.94.
They are all have different footage when you selecet each clip but the naming is screwed. Also when you select, reveal in finder, they reference the correct file. Anyone have this problem or solution?
imac pro 2017
10.14.6 (18G1012)
3.2 GHz Intel Xeon W
64 GB 2666 MHz DDR4
I've been having this problem with my C70 for years, having to do the annoying workaround with renaming CLIP001 to CLIP002 - BUT NO MORE!
Inside the camera 'Metadata' menu setting I had changed 'User Defined' to my name, causing the issue. If you hit reset on this (back to CANON) it will fix the import issue into Premiere Pro!

Thanks, that's good to know (especially as we use Canon C200 and 300 Mk2 cameras), but it's hard to know what to make of this - Adobe didn't know they broke this in 14.0, and then didn't know they "fixed" it in 14.0.3 ?
... I'm still not confident to migrate to any version of PPro 2020, it seems to have been such a debacle

There is a long list of bugfixes but Adobe does not mentions them all.
Just have to try.
I have been on 2020 from the beginning and no real issues, works fine.
You can have both versions side by side.
Keep a backup. If you do not like 2020 you can always go back.

The issue was fixed for both C300 and C200 footage on v14.0.2 (unreleased) and I guess that's why the changelog wasn't made public. 14.0.3 onwards imports files correctly as far as I know. I personally tested on 14.1 only.

Todd,
Well dang. First I've heard of this cropping up again. Is this a new project of one you updated? Was media cache scrubbed, even the old stuff?
Thanks,
Kevin

I'm using 14.2.0 with C300 mk11 rushes on a new project and still have the CLIPS001 issue, even after deleteting the media cache.
Kevin, please can you advise.
Thanks, Danny

Why is this still an issue for Adobe. The date is January 22 2021.
See image above.
Users shouldn't have to change the name of the Canon Folder Structure (or send a note to the post house as a DIT about this issue). DaVinci Resolve 17 (See image below) ingests correctly, why haven't you fixed this yet!
I eagerly anticipate everyone transitioning away from Adobe to Resolve. You guys can't fix simple issues!

This so called issue has not been reported for a long time.
Which Premiere build are you using.

I call BS on that. I'm not the only one that has experienced this. See Images Below:
As you can see, I'm not the only one experiencing this. Users in Facebook user groups are having this so called issue as well.
I posted in the Adobe Support Community about this exactly a year ago. You would think someone from Adobe would see this.
I'm on Adobe PrP v14.8

I just tried it in 14.8 and all clips have their proper name.
Why not use the workaround as mentioned above.

When you tried it in 14.8 I take it that the full camera folder structure wasn't used or you did the work around.
Here's the following why I think the workaround isn't suffient:
If I worked alone then I wouldn't mind so much but I work in a professional setting on professional productions.
As stupid as it may sound these are perfect examples why you hear people grumble when they have to work with cameras other than ARRI or software other than AVID.
I'm just here to help make the tools work properly, not "work around".

Import CONTENTS folder.
Had this issue in the past too. Use the workaround untill it was fixed for me.

Thats what I did but issue persisited. I imported from Media Browser and File > Import
When we have our first offload later today, I'll try it again and take some screenshots.
Thanks.

Okay. I'm on a (5) camera C500 MKII production. I just offloaded the media to the drives and imported using (2) methods:
Sucks that you have to do the work around. That's a failure.

What is so terrible renaming the folder from clips001 to clips002.

As I mentioned earlier. If it was just me then it's not too much a issue BUT I work as a DIT with different post houses and productions all over so having to give a note that could be overlooked doesn't help Adobe as a professional company.
To add to that, if I change the folder structure by 1 character then I can't use Canon XF Utility. Why use Canon XF Utility you may wonder? Canon XF Utility gives you much more metadata insight than Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve does. Why is that even important? Well, when you're working on a multi cam production (or even single cam), it's good to pop off a test clip and look "under the hood" to see if there's nothing funky going on.

I don't know if I would mark this solved... It is now 2022, and version 22.5 and Premiere PRO still has this issue.
The work around is not good in a professional environment because I'm importing footage that has already been archived to 3 sets of drives... If I change the folder names on only my copy, no one can reconnect to this footage. This is a silly stupid bug! Naming clips based on a folder? and 3 years old?
Please Adobe, fix it!

3 year old problem. Wow! I posted this a long time ago and it’s still not
resolved.
Personally I’m done with Adobe. I’m glad I don’t edit anymore.

It works just fine here. Don't know how long it's been fixed on my end, since I just got in the habit of renaming the main CONTENTS folder to match the job. But, I just imported a whole card from this weekend without renaming anything and all the clips are named properly. FYI, I think the workaround was that something had to be renamed for it to read properly. I never renamed the CLIPS001 folders, just the CONTENTS one.

Like I said, it's working just fine with all my Canon camera cards now. I no longer need to rename the CONTENTS folder. M1 Studio and M1 MBP.
