We have logged in Avid and therefore renamed some clips. Suddenly some of them have got their original clip name back, "B212C027_17060168.new"

Any solution on this?

MC 8.00

(workflow, AVC Intra 100 media AMA and transcoded to dnx36. Dnx36 .new clips renamed)

All my clips retain their changed name on bins on 8.9.2.

Avid has 2 ways of duplicating clips, Copying and cloning.

If you clone clips (alt drag) Avid knows they are the same and if you rename one the other gets renamed.

Generally this is perfect and just what you need. Hwoever if an early copy of the bin is restored and opened before the newer renamed clips bin is opened I've seen the second bins renamed clips revert back to their former names.

Once you know why it happens its easy to prevent.

hmm maybe have an idea of reason.

I have had a workflow where we have set the workspaces to READ after batch is ready.

And see now that some users have been logged in with an account that have R/W access, and some users only with the R access.

I assume that if you change clipname and have R/W access, that metadata can be written to the mxf files in Avid MediaFiles/MXF/....? And if you work with R access, the metadata only stays in the bin database?
