Re: Rename seems to only work half the time, any clues?

I've read around the COW forum and this is the most direct post about problems with renaming clips in FCP. This may be understood information already, but In FCP 6 you can rename from the browser with two options:

1. Right click on clip in browser, scroll down to Rename, then select Clip to match File.
2. Same process as above, but select File to Match Clip, which renames the source QT file. (Select yes when window pops up asking if you want to change the name of the source file).

Though I shot in HDV, not P2, the process for already digitized files should be the same.

All this fluff is to comment that in my experience, renaming the source file to match the clip in the browser has bugs, and only likes to work when renaming 20 or less clips at a time. If I try to rename more than 20 or so at a time, the source file has the new clip name plus a bunch of old jibberish attached. Go figure.

Final Cut reminds me of an old Volkswagen--cool but kinda quirky.
