No it's a poor choice when truncated to the first 4 charachter and the last 4 characters. Like I posted A001C001, A001C002, A001C003, A001C004 all become A001 and the last 4 camera ID digits. That makes it impossible to know which Clip to link the file to. These are all files not tapes. I know they are trying to fit into the EDL ecosystem but without the clip numbers even if I know the card it came from I can't select the correct clip on the card using the tape name they default to. The Camera ID is redundant to the A001 digits when they are properly setup in the camera. What would be better is the Card info and the clip it is on the card. In my use of these camera's media I need to know which camera and which clip. I'm handed a drive with all the files on it so I never refer to cards and given the cost of media cards I don't think too many people are keeping all the original cards as the archive. Perhaps I'm wrong on that but I don't think so.
