Is there a way to rename a shots on the timeline by isolating a part of the element name? Eg my clip is named ‘AB12_shots_ABC_0010_…’ - Is there a token to isolate ‘ABC_0010’ and use to rename the shot? Have a long timeline that I dont want to have to manually rename. I tried using the ‘split’ token but apparently that doesn’t work on the timeline.

If you want to use Python, you can drop this file to your /opt/Autodesk/shared/python, you will find a Segments_renamed_tools in your contextual menu of your(s) segment(s) selection that will deduct your shot name based of your segment name.
