Replace, doesn't show NEW name - why?

I've been using SteadyHand to "improve" my shaky footage . . excellent programme . . . However, when I Replace Clip001.avi with SteadyHand's verision Clip001_steady.avi - it is shown as Clip001.avi , not with the new name. Anybody replaced clips and had the "old" name replaced with the"new" name?

Grazie

Yes. I have and found the same thing. I was also replacing with Steady Hand clips.

I tried removing the underscore in the new clip name, to see if the underscore was causing it. Nope. Didn't help.

This looks like a bug...

If you right-click replace the clip in the media bin, the name of the clip in the media *BIN* DOES change to reflect the new clip. The name on the *TIME LINE* does NOT change. (This is assuming, of course, that you have the option selected to show clip names on timeline events.)

If you right-click on the media bin clip, select time line event, it pickes the correct clip in the timeline, but it, the file in the time line, has a different name.

I just tried a project, and even after closing and opening the project, it's still hanging on to the original, no-longer-valid file name.

This is a bug that definitely needs fixing.

Thanks kentwolf,

Is this true for non-steadyhand clips? My thinking that this is such a fundamental piece of status notifacation, telling an editor that the Replaced file is "named" on the T/L, I can't think that this wasn't nailed down in much earlier versions of Vegas, and come to that VideoFactory. I haven't checked this in the other flavours, but one would have thought that it would have corrected . . . okay dokey, we shall see eh?

Regards,

Grazie

I've noticed this, too. It is probably a bug.

Yes. Seems to apply to any media.

If you didn't have the "show the name in the timeline" option on, you'd never know it.
