I don't think this ability exists but I thought I would ask anyway.
Is there a way in the Edius bin to rename a block of files with the same name and have a numerical value added to the end?
For instance. In my wedding productions I will frequently make a dance montage of the fun dancing. Instead of wading through all my clips with the same file name I like to have them numbered. Before switching to HDV and CanopusHQ I would use scenalyzer on my SD files. It had the feature to name a file and if there was a file with the name already it just added a 0001 after it. This means that for my dance video I may have 150+ clips. I could highlight all of them at once, change one of them to "dancing" and then when I saved Scenalyzer would name all the clips "dancing0001","dancing0002","dancing 0003" etc. Is there an easy way to do this in the Edius Bin. I like them numbered because I can make a simple spreadsheet listing all 150+ clips and then mark them off as I use them....that way I don't accidentally use clips twice in the same video.
I have been trying to use Adobe Bridge to do this function but it is not as user friendly as I would like but usable.
If anyone has other ideas of how to achieve this I am open to idea.
