Label assets
Labels are colors that help you identify and associate assets. You assign and view labels in the Project panel. Label colors mark assets in the
Project panel’s Label column and in a Timeline panel.
To assign a label to an asset, select a clip in the Project panel, choose Edit > Label, and choose a color.
To select all assets with the same label, select an asset that uses the label and choose Edit > Label > Select Label Group.
To edit label names or colors, choose Edit > Preferences > Label Colors (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Colors (Mac
OS). Click a color swatch to edit a color.
To set default labels for a media type, choose Edit > Preferences > Label Defaults (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label
Defaults (Mac OS).
Label defaults affect assets you add to the Project panel from the time you change the defaults; the command doesn’t change label colors
for assets already in the Project panel. To change label colors for assets already in the Project panel, use the Edit > Preferences > Label Colors
(Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Label Colors (Mac OS) command.
Rename assets
All files in your project are stored on your hard disk as individual files. Only a reference to each file is added to the Project panel in Premiere Pro.
Whenever you rename a clip in Premiere Pro, the original file and filename remain untouched on your hard disk.
When changing the name of your clip, the name of the source file does not reflect the change. Some users suggest entering the desired clip
name in the “Description” Column instead so that the clip name and source file naming scheme is maintained. The drawback is that the clip
name is not descriptive in the Timeline panel or in the Project panel in icon view. You decide which system would be more advantageous to
your workflow.
Rename a clip
You can change the name for a clip. Premiere Pro stores the clip name with the other clip properties in the project file. Changing the name of a
clip does not change the filename of the source file for the clip.
To automatically store the new name also in the Title field of the Dublin Core metadata schema, first link the Clip Name property. See Link
clip data to XMP metadata .
1. In the Project panel, select the clip.
2. Do one of the following:
In the Project panel, choose Clip > Rename, type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
In the Project panel, click the Name field, type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
In the Metadata panel, click the triangle next to Clip to show the clip properties fields. Type the new name into the Name field, and press
Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
The Rename command is available when you right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a clip in the Project panel, or in a Timeline.
Rename an original source file
Quit Premiere Pro and rename the file on the desktop.
The next time you open the project, Premiere Pro launches a dialog.
1. Navigate to the file that you renamed and select it in the dialog.
2. Click Open
3. Premiere Pro launches with the file relinked to the renamed source file.
