A while back I had an Imac with FCP 5.1.4, and the P2 import windw had a nice feature of enabling the renaming of files as they were imported, along with a preview window with ability to choose in and out points for the imported file.Then I bought a Macbook Pro and installed FCP from my discs (5.1) and then tried to upgrade to 5.1.4 at the Apple site, but they had disabled it. I got the 5.1.4 upgrade file from a friend, but it can't be installed from a CD, only from the site. The preview window and renaming function are gone in 5.1.
So I'm stuck with 5.1, or spend $500 to upgrade to Studio 2, which I would rather do later. My question- is there some way of re naming the imported files that I am missing? Should I use some other workflow as a workaround, and if so, what? (I plan on dumping all files to a PC laptop as a backup system before importing to FCP).
