Re: [FCP-L] Raid Died - Reconstruct Sequences

i cant really address the long file-name issue,
but i agree that the Media Managed file names are ilogical.

the worst thing is that when you have multiple instances of a clip in
the timeline,
the Media Managed file names and clip names don't match.

i just bothered to check this with a small test.
1st is clip name, 2nd is file name:

"Clip 01" = "Clip 01"
"Clip 01 1" = "Clip 01-2"
"Clip 01 2" = "Clip 01-3"

notice that the second is labeled as 2 in the FILE name,
and that the third clip gets labeled as 2 in the CLIP name.

notice also a space in the clip name is a dash in the file name

in the past i've seen the second instance get labeled "clip v" in the
file name.
which creates more confusion.

in a system that relies on correspondence between clip name and file
name for connection,
this is almost criminal.

as of FCP6, there is a solution via the Modify > Rename functions:
rename clip name to match file name
or vice - versa
