Hey guys,

I'm super new to FMP. The studio I work at has me creating labels for a bunch of tapes. Anyway, the current way I'm inputting new media into FMP is by creating media, entering information in the pertinent fields then using "Dupe Media" to create new media. My problem is that when I have to create multiple entries for a particular range (i.e ABC001 - ABC500) I can't seem to find a method other than using "Dupe Media" and entering the next number in the range then repeating that until I've completed a set. Is there a way to have FMP create/duplicate new entries for a range instead of having to enter each one manually?

Thanks in advance,

00000000

PS: I really appreciate you taking the time to even read this as I'm completely new to FMP.

Look into the Replace command, there is an option to enter serial numbers. Test on a backup, of course, because there is no undo for the replace command.

Tried it and it only populated the media titles. Still digging around for a solution. Having to Dupe Media > enter next Media number over and over and over (literally hundreds of times) is taking forever and is crazy inefficient.
