Edit camera names

You can open the Camera names window from three places:

Settings → Playback → Camera names → Edit…
All filters (L) → Where from → the name the cameras link in the Camera row.
Export → Advanced settings → Edit camera names…

At the top of the window, you’ll see the note “Edit the camera names used in exported file and folder names.”

Open the Camera names window.
Find the camera you want to rename and type the new name. You’ll also see the clip count beside each camera.
Press Enter or click outside the text field. The new name is saved right away; you don’t need to click a Save button.
Click Close when you’re done.
Open the camera filter in your library to check the new name.

If you have two similar devices, you can distinguish them as Camera A and Camera B. You might prefer names that remind you how you use them, such as Handheld camera or Locked-off camera.

Editing a camera name doesn’t rename source files. It updates the camera information in the library.

You can remove cameras that no longer have clips. Their row has a Remove button (“You can remove this camera because no clips are linked to it.”). If the list has cameras without clips, a note appears at the bottom: “Empty cameras are leftovers from auto-detection; you can remove them.”

Changes to camera settings can’t be undone with ⌘Z. If you gave a camera the wrong name, return to this window and correct it.
