Some time back I co-edited a short film called 'Midst' on Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I merged the video which was shot on Canon 5D DSLR and production audio was recorded on external recorder. We used 'merge clips' and named the merged clips as 'scene name and take numbers.'

Sample timeline:

On the left is synchronised video and audio with original camera clip and sound metadata name and on right is merged clip where sound has taken video clip name after merge. (In my case. I named it SCN 1 - TAKE 1 and so on as per the claps)

This was the export settings:

When I tried sending the audio as AAF. I couldn't get the original sound file name. Only adobe audition could retrieve metadata but I had to send it to pro tools. Any ways at last I exported 4 master single mono tracks - Left and Right dialogues, FX, Music.

What is the best way to maintain original sound clip name in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. One way is to manually link clips and keeping it in the sequences but that will make project cluttered even with bins.

I wonder if there is a way where Adobe Premiere Pro will retain original sound clip name so that the sound editor can use the original clip name on applications like pro tools if they need to replace or refer to sound reports.

I am posting this for future reference and a feature request to Adobe.
