GH3 and FCPX import question

[ronjbase]

When I import my GH3 files into FCPX the clips names are change to the event name. Is there a way to prevent this, would like to keep the original file nameif possible. Thanks in advance.

Strange. How do you get them to change their names? Describe your procedure. There are a lot of options in FCP X how to import clips. I am eager to learn a new one.

Just import from card the only items check off in the import settings box are in the Transcoding choices , both are checked

Took me a while. Because I thought you meant that FCP X changes the original names of the clips, which it doesn't. Per default - at least as long as you work with original media - the clip names in the event browser show the date. But it's just a read-out of metadata that can be changed at every time and has no influence on, say 'clip-037.mts'. You can batch-rename clips by choosing them and clicking the gear-icon in info (lower right). There you can apply rules of numbering and renaming and also 'original name'. The latter option, however, won't display any non-QT-extension, because even with native AVCHD you will have mov-rewrapped copies that FCP X refers to.

Thanks, Shooting 50Mbps inthe .mov mode hope that doesn't make a difference.  Will have to try that... figured it was something simple.
