Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 344)

If you have already logged clips, previously entered logging information appears in the
pop-up menus of each field. You can open the pop-up menus and choose the logging
information you want. You can also click the Increment buttons beside a logging field to
add a number to the end of the logging information. Each time you click the Increment
button, the number increments by one.

Logging fields
You can manually enter logging information for a selected clip, creating clip names and
adding information in the logging fields as needed. You can also choose a name preset
that helps you automatically compose a clip name from the logging information you
enter and from the properties of the clip.
When you choose a name preset, Final Cut Pro shows you an example of the clip name
that will be created for the clip.
You can use name presets to quickly log multiple clips without logging them individually.
After you choose a name preset, you can drag groups of clips to the Transfer Queue and
Final Cut Pro uses the name preset to apply logging information to each clip. For example,
you can choose a name preset that specifies that clips receive a custom name with a
counter (for example, Close Up Fountain 001). As you drag a group of clips to the Transfer
Queue, Final Cut Pro applies the names Close Up Fountain 001, Close Up Fountain 002,
Close Up Fountain 003, and so on, to the subsequent clips until all the clips have been
named.
