Rename a Clip in the Library
Clips you import into the Library retain their original file names, which
are often non descriptive and sometimes confusing 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 will revert to the
original clip name in the Library.
