File naming?
I have an question about how protools auto names regions as they are recorded. In our facility, we'll typically name the track we are recording too something like "vo_jeff_0922" So obviously its what type of recording it is, the VO name and the date. So all my regions look like
vo_jeff_0922_01 vo_jeff_0922_02 vo_jeff_0922_03 etc. Now if jeff comes back for the same project a week later, I would like to name the file vo_jeff_0930 and have it start over at take/region number one, but instead it continues on with 4,5,6 etc. Now if I completely rename the entire track it will start over, but simply changing the date does not force it start over. Is there someway to change this? or does it have to be a feature request?

Re: File naming?
Use a period...
vo_jeff_0922.01 when you create a new playlist it'll be named: vo_jeff_0922.02 Regions are based on the track name and are appended with _nnn which constantly increases (as you've seen). To start the region numbers from 1 again, you'd have to create a new track. Rail

Re: File naming?
You could leave out the underscore altogether.
vo_Jeff0922 PT will treat this date as part of the text instead of as a separate number, and changing the date will restart your numbering at 01. |

Re: File naming?
I go Rail's way, put the period in. Things will increment in digits. Doing it right now with Documentary and it's really helping.
