1. In the Final Cut Pro browser, select the clips you want to rename.
2. Open the Info inspector.
3. Click the Apply Custom Name pop-up menu and choose Edit.
4. In the Naming Presets window, Control-click the preset you want to duplicate, then
choose Duplicate.
The duplicate naming preset appears below the original preset.
5. Enter a name for the duplicate preset, then press Return.
You can now modify the preset to suit your needs.
