Rename items in Final Cut Pro

You can rename clips, projects, and events.

Renaming a clip affects only that instance of the clip. For example, if you add a clip from the browser to the timeline, copy clips between events, or copy clips within the timeline, each of these clip instances (copies) is independent of the others and can have its own name.

Important: Renaming a clip in Final Cut Pro does not rename the clip’s source media file on your Mac or storage device.

Rename a clip or project in the browser

In the Final Cut Pro browser, do any of the following:

Rename a clip or project in filmstrip view: Click the clip’s or project’s name, then type a new name.
Rename a clip or project in list view: Click the clip’s or project’s name, press Return, then type a new name.

For more information about filmstrip view and list view, see View and sort items in Final Cut Pro.

You can also rename a project in project settings. See Modify a project’s settings in Final Cut Pro.

Rename a clip in the timeline

In the Final Cut Pro timeline, Control-click the clip and choose Rename Clip, then type a new name.

Rename an event

In the Libraries sidebar in Final Cut Pro, select the event you want to rename.
Do one of the following:
- Click the event’s name and type a new name.

Rename a clip in the timeline index

To open the timeline index in Final Cut Pro, click Index in the top-left corner of the timeline (or press Shift-Command-2).
