# Renaming Shots on the Timeline

Once you’ve conformed your edit, you may want to rename shots on the timeline sequentially for clarity.

To rename shots:

| 1. | Select the shots to rename using the timeline or spreadsheet view.

| 2. | Right-click on the timeline and select Editorial > Rename Shots.

Tip: You can also navigate to Timeline > Rename Shots or use the Alt+Shift+/ keyboard shortcut.

The Rename Shots dialog displays.

| 3. | Select the rename type from the dropdown:

• Simple Rename - all shots are replaced by the New Name specified.

• Find and Replace - a simple find and replace shot name. All selected shots containing the specified Find pattern are substituted with the Replace pattern.

• Sequential Rename - rename shots sequentially using the Pattern, Start #, and Increment fields.

• Match Sequence - allows you to select a sequence to copy shot names from, providing that they use the same shots. For example, renaming shots on a 30 second timeline to mirror the shot names from a 60 second timeline.

Note: You can only use sequences that reside in the same project and shots that have overlapping frame ranges.

• Clip Name - all shot names are replaced by the name of the source clip they reference. This option can be used to revert previous rename operations.

• Change Case - the case of all shot names is changed, as specified by the Case dropdown. For example, selecting Title Case capitalizes the first character of each word.

| 4. | Rename operations also accept token substitutions. The following tokens are recognized:

Token | Resolves to
{clip} | The name of the source clip referenced by the target shot.
{event} | The EDL event number associated with the target shot.
{filename} | The file name of the shot's source.
{fps} | The frame rate of the sequence containing the rename target.
{sequence} | The name of the sequence containing the rename target.
{shot} | The name of the shot.
{track} | The name of the track containing the rename target.

| 5. | Enable Include Clips From Audio Tracks to rename audio shots as well as video shots.

| 6. | Click Rename.

The selected shots are renamed as specified.
