Renaming Entries
 
 
 

You can rename an entry—a clip, a reel, a Desktop, or the clip library itself, but not if it is located in a read-only library.

To rename an entry:

  1. In a clip library, select the entry you want to rename.
  2. In the Library Management menu, click Name.

    The on-screen keyboard appears.

  3. Type a name for the entry and press Enter.

Renaming Reels in a Clip Library

If you rename a reel in a clip library, the reel is not renamed on the Desktop.

Renaming Clips in a Clip Library

If you rename a clip in a clip library and the same clip is on the Desktop or elsewhere in the same clip library, the name is changed in both places. However, if you created a copy of the clip on the Desktop, the name of the copy is not changed.

Renaming Clips on the Desktop

When you rename clips on the Desktop, they are not renamed in the clip library unless you explicitly save the clip. For example, Clip A appears in a clip library and on the Desktop. You rename Clip A to Clip B on the Desktop. When you open the clip library containing Clip A, the clip retains its original name.

NoteYou cannot load a clip from a clip library to the Desktop if the same clip already appears there, regardless of clip name differences. Using the previous example, if you try to load Clip A from the clip library to a reel on the Desktop (where Clip B already exists), Clip B would be moved to the reel instead.
