We can agree to disagree here. I'm using an edl and the Arri structure of 8 character of the first 4 and the last four are not unique to the individual C001s etc,,,, In every project I've dealt with there the first four characters are identifying the camera and I guess card or load A001, A002 for A cam etc... That's all I need to know as to which camera it is so the last 4 characters being the unique Camera ID seem more for an engineering type analysis of which actual camera body it came from. To me from a post perspective knowing it was the camera A position is more important than the actual camera body. Not know which C00X clip it is is a much bigger problem and I've had to go through using the time code to determine which clip number. Now that I know the gotcha I can modify the Premier project but perhaps if Arri gave the user more control over the limit of 8 characters and what they are then this could be avoided.
When I manually enter the tape name in premier with the full clip name the 8 character truncation to the first 8 characters work. I'm not sure how the hand offs happen on FXP7 and FCP X etc but if all you go by is the default 8 characters Arri puts as the tape name there is no way to distinguish clips from C001, C002 etc... Those numbers aren't present in the tape name so there is no way that using that tape name will work unless there is only one clip per A001 etc... I would have to say the workflows you have been using are using more than just the tape name to link the clips.
