# Naming Items on the EditDesk

You can name clips, the Source Area, the Record Area, the EditDesk, the EditDesk list, and timeline elements.

You can also select multiple clips in the Source Area and rename them all with sequential numbers.

To name an item:

1. Select the item.
2. In the Name field, type the name you want to use.

To rename multiple clips with sequential numbers:

1. In the Source Area, select the clips you want to rename. Ctrl-click each proxy or drag a box around the proxies.
2. A numeric field appears next to the Name field.
3. Enter the number you want the sequence to start with.
4. Optional: Type a name for the clips in the Name field.
5. Press Enter.

   The clips are renamed and given a sequential number. The assigned numbers increment based on the selection order; the sequential number is appended to the clip name if one exists.
