Manually Stamp New Unique Identifier

[polyh3dron]

Hi all,

Just wanted to see if there was a way for me to manually stamp new unique identifiers on the audio files in my session. I duplicated a session and then destructively modified the files within it for a different version of a show I'm working on and don't want these files to have the same ID just in case someone decides to bring them into the same session as the ones from the other version in the future. I also want to avoid the mistake of one session incorrectly linking to files from the other. Any way to manually do this in Pro Tools, like from the workspace?

I think you can do it with Save Copy In. Make sure you tick the box to copy audio files. That creates new audio files that have all new identifiers.

What about selecting all the clips and using say the Gain AudioSuite plug-in set to 0 gain and clip by clip and then rendering. This would create new clips and, I'm assuming, create new ID's.

Yes, that would create new clips with new names though. 28GB worth. Not what I want to do.

Save copy may be the ticket, actually, since I have to transfer this session to a server upon completion anyways. Will give that a shot. Was unaware that it made new Unique IDs. Thanks.
