Clip names are the names that appear in the Timeline and Clip List when a file is imported into a session.For most files, the clip name is the same as the file name. For OMF Files, the clip name is the name that appears in the Avid bin.Clip names can only be edited in a Catalog. Editing the clip name does not affect the actual file; however, if you add the same file to a new Catalog, it retains its original clip name. When you drag a file from a Catalog into a session, the edited clip name is what appears in the Timeline and Clip List.If the Clip Name is longer than 32 characters, Pro Tools truncates the name automatically when imported into the session.
