Anyone have a good workflow with ingesting hvx200 footage into FCP? Once I import all my media from a certain card or drive I then wrap them all then delete them from the final cut bins. I then find them via "bridge" from adobe's cs2 and rename all my clips from there. From there I import them back into final cut and save. Wondering if I can stay inside FCP for all of this.

I do all these steps because when you import or "wrap" your p2 clips they all come into the bin with weird generic file names and there are no options I am aware of to change it. Any help would be cool. Thanks!
 
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I simply rename the clips in the bin. I click on the clip name once, wait half a second, and then click on it again. Then type the name of the clip.
Is that what you are looking for?

I prefer to have my media clips named better than what the HVX comes up with. It makes it easier with backups too. If the FCP project file ever gets corrupted you at least know what the clip names are when importing them back into FCP.
