PremierePro

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 Adobe Premiere Pro. Whenever you rename a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro, the original file and file name remain untouched on your hard disk.

Rename a clip

  1. Select the clip, and choose Clip > Rename.
  2. Type the new name, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
    You can also rename a selected clip by clicking its name once to select the text, typing the new name, and pressing Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS). In addition, the Rename command is available when you right‑click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a clip.

Rename an original source file

 Quit Adobe Premiere Pro and rename the file on the Windows desktop.

The next time you open the project, Adobe Premiere Pro asks you to locate the file.
