Yes I have no problem renaming clips in script view but what I've noticed starting with Ver. 6 or 5.5 the clip color is no longer displayed on the clip icon. I routinely use clip colors to separate clips I've already renamed with new clips that come along during online. Now you can't add the color column to script view so I've lost the ability to have a quick guide to what I've already renamed. That's why I mentioned that a new color correction field for entering an alphanumeric name based on color correction grouping would need to be visable in script mode to be of maximum use.. Your suggestion of renaming several highlighted clips in the script view bin is interesting. It's relatively quick highlighting the clips one by one thereby not losing the .new01, .new02 etc... Of course the .new0x suffixes aren't really important to maintain but I do out of habit. Definitely something to consider especially for interview clips that tend to be consistent and numerous. Good tip.

However as has been pointed out the really spiffy and oh so wonderful file based workflows that are being shoved up our creative keisters' have made this approach much less viable. I've been asking for a long time for the ability to have an alphanumeric field that I could base the relational color correction on. I would want this field to be visable in script mode because that is where a wade through the shots sorting by tape and time code to decide how to annotate clip names. Of course tape and time code sort is less functional in file based workflows but if the AEs have added tape names to represent cards or folders or whatever it still has some merit. I have not had that many large series jobs with file based but they are becoming the norm so there needs to be a way to emulate the traditional clip naming scheme in a file based workflow. My tape media is usually labeled with show name, date, camera and load. That name carries through the batch captures just fine. Is there any configuration with ama linking that works the same way. When I link to volume etc.... the clip names are cryptic to say the least and usually have no reflection of the content. Can someone shed some light on formats that can be easily dealt with in the old tape manner? Do they even exist? I have little hope that production is going to go out of their way to add extra metadata to facilitate this for post but who knows?

Not risky at all - well not any riskier than the other methods of grouping associated clips.
