Rename a Clip in the Library
Clips you import into the Library retain their original file names,
which are often non descriptive and difficult to use in a video editing
project. By using an alias, you can rename any clip in the Library to
better suit your project. (For example, you may wish to use the alias
“first video clip” instead of “video_005.mpg.)
To rename a clip using an alias, do this:
1. Right-click the clip you want to rename and select Use Alias.
2. Enter a name and press Enter on your keyboard or click outside
the name box. The clip appears in the Library using the alias.
Restore a Clip’s Original File Name
Although using an alias is handy while working on your video
project, you may find it necessary to view the original name of the
clip (for example to verify which version of a clip you are using).
To restore a clip’s original name, right-click the clip you want to
rename and select Restore to Original Clip Name. The clip now
appears in the Library using the original clip name.
