If I rename a clip in PPro, is there a command to change the actual file name like in FCP7?
In FCP7 I could rename a clip in FCP and then use a menu command to change the actual file name to match:
Can I do this in PPro or Prelude?
Thanks!

This option is only available in the Project Manager.

Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?
Hi all,
I'm working with good old Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once? If I have a large group of clips in my timeline that are all the same duration, once I've selected them all in a group, can I somehow change the frame number duration of all the clips at the same time?
I've found other things that can be done to a group of clips at the same time, but I can't find a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips.
Thanks,
digiThanks Jim and Bill,
In my efforts to work around the problems with the distortion and horizontal interlace lines that come when using the Motion Settings, I'm doing stop frame animation with hundreds and hundreds of layers in PSDs in multiple files placed in hundreds of one, four and six frame sections in Premiere, so if I find that I need to change the number of frames per clip in hundreds of consecutive clips (not actual duration of speed changes), then I need to pull out the right side of hundreds of frames after first moving them apart enough to allow for changing them if I'm making them longer.
These animations are different from the rotating reel animations in that they are for laterally moving subjects that are long streams of moving graphics and photos.
I read about "clip nesting", but I think that only applies to clips or groups of clips that are the same, whereas my clips are each from different imported layers times 125 or so, consecutively placed one after another to create the laterally moving stop frame animation.
Now I've tried johnbmx4christ's alternate method of creating rotations that was just posted on the other thread about the rotation distortion, but that method results in the same oblong distortion and messed up looking horizontal interlace lines.
What a can of worms.
Thanks,

Batch rename files preserving the original file name in metadata
How can I batch rename files while preserving the original file name in metadata? (Don't want the old file name as part of the new file name)
(Adobe CS Bridge can do this with some success, but I don't want to be dependant on this software. Results are inconsistent.)With a simple terminal script. More details needed, though.

Where are the actual files/renaming those files?
Hi all, I'm a new Mac user at home, and I'm exploring how iPhoto works. Since 1999, I've kept my digital photos straight using a manual method of folders labeled "Year" and inside that "01, 02, etc" and inside that "01 PhotoName" for something that happened on the 1st day of the month (following me?) With iPhoto, I gather this is much easier to manage because iPhoto seems to do all of this for me.
I'm trying to understand how iPhoto is working. It seems that when I import a photo from my camera, it goes to a folder in "iphoto library"/originals/2007/album name/photoname (in my case, the file name is DSC02447). However, if I make any changes to that file within iPhoto (red eye, color, etc) it will create ANOTHER file in "iphoto library"/MODIFIED/2007/albumname/photoname. So, does that mean it's essentially duplicating my images?
Also related, how can I rename the actual FILE? When I'm within iPhoto's Photo view, I can rename the title of the image by clicking the name below it, and renaming it to something other than DSC02447. However, in the "photo info" window, you can see the actual filename has NOT changed.
If I would use iPhoto forever, that wouldn't be a big problem. However, I don't know what photo organizing program I'll be using in 10 years, but if it's not iPhoto, I don't want to be stuck with a whole lot of photos that I spent a bunch of time organizing and renaming within iPhoto, only to realize those changes were only within iPhoto.
So along with those two questions, does anyone have a website that explains the "inner workings" of iPhoto better than the Apple site? All I can find on here is "here's all the great things iPhoto does" but I can't really find deep tutorials on "this is actually what's happening to your files."
Many, many thanks everyone.Carl

Duplicating? No, but it is preserving your original file - as a kind of digital negative. Essentially, all operations are carried out on a copy of the file, at any time you can go Photos -> revert to original. In this iPhoto is implementing the best practise of Digital Asset Management.
If you don't wan that feature, then bluntly, don't use iPhoto. It's hard wired into the application and cannot be turned off. There are various hacks that claim to remove unwanted versions but each of them put the integrity of your library at risk.
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
Also related, how can I rename the actual FILE? When I'm within iPhoto's Photo view, I can rename the title of the image by clicking the name below it, and renaming it to something other than DSC02447. However, in the "photo info" window, you can see the actual filename has NOT changed.
You can't. You can copy the files to the desktop and rename them before import (FileList is pretty good for this) or, if you export them using the File -> Export command you have the opportunity to use your Title as a filename on the exported version. (That's your future proofing, right there - you can also write you keywords to the file too.) But if you rename the files while they are in iPhoto, then you change the path to the files and that brings you to my warning above, about making changes in the iPhoto Library Folder.

Renaming a jpeg, changing the original file?
I belived that LR5 was a non-destructive program. I have been told repetadly that all information was stored in the catalog and the original files are safe.
However when I now renamed my old jpeg-files from within LR5, I found that the original filenames was changed by LR5!
1) Does the renaming process only save the new filename (EXIF/metadata) in the original file or are the full image saved?
My concern is since jpeg is destructive format I will loss a generation and I may end up having a result I do not want.
2) Anyone know a good relable source to some facts about how EXIF information and metadata are actually handled?
Looking forward to your feed-back.biggles-2 wrote:... LR5 never touches the originals
This is an incorrect statement
it is true that Lightroom never touches the image portion of the original jpg file. However, there are many other ways in which Lightroom can modify the original jpg file, just not the image portion.
To me changing name from for example IMG957 to 201403_K5II_0957, will give me advantages within LR5 and LR5 saves the information in the catalogue and nowhere else.
If Lightroom thinks the name is 201403_K5II_0957 and your operating system thinks the name is IMG957, then Lightroom will not be able to find the file, and thus will not be able to perform any operations on this file. So it gives you no advantages whatsoever, in fact it make Lightroom useless on this file.
I would also suggest/recommend that you organize via keywords and other metadata, rather than use file names as a place to store metadata like K5II, whatever that is. There are many reasons for this, but quickly, this is the strength of Lightroom, and the weakness of file names and operating system constructs, in my opinion. -

Is there a way to change the frame rate on an audio clip in the source monitor?
Premiere CC6. I am trying to sync audio and video by using "Merge Clips" but the audio seems to be counted in a 29.97 rate while the video is 23.98. The sound person on set swears the audio TC should match the smart slate and that the frame rate is 23.98. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
I think I may have solved it, actually. I find that if I switch the timecode to NDF in the source viewer, it seems to work. I have tried it on three clips and they have sync'd without problems. Hopefully this will continue to be the case.

Is there any way to change the way 'Log and Transfer' names clips
I'm importing AVCHD files that are 5 digits long. 'Log an Transfer' seems to remove the leading 0's, when importing, and I'm forced to manually add them back in order to make sure that my clips stay in chronological order
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

I loved this feature in the older versions of iMovie for editing my underwater scenes to get ride of the greenish tint. Now I only see a color temperature slider adjustment in the new iMovie, but that doesn't give me enough control. Is there a way to get each color channel edit back?
iMovie version 10 doesn't have the individual RGB gain controls that version 9 does.
You'll find that version 9 was left behind in your Applications folder when you upgraded to 10.

Change KM Transport file name ( .kmc).. rename
Hi all,
In KM transport, while exporting the package... content administration -> km content -> transport -> export
a) First we will give the transport package name add the KM files.
b) Then will go to pending exports from the context menu of the transport package we will select start export.
c) next step it will give the store path of the transport package and file name ( i.e. xxx.KMC ).
now the issue is... This both stored path and file name are read only. the ".kmc" file is the id which is a xx digit numeric number.
Our client wants to change the name of this file name (.kmc) to his own naming convension for easy use and better understanding.
what needs to be done for this???
Thanks,
PradeePPradeep,
The name of the archive file is composed of a technical ID and the ending .kmc
<technical ID>.kmc
but if you are looking at changing the technical ID, I dont think, SAP recommends doing that. You can have a look at the 3rd point in this help document..

Hi,
Theres likely to be a really simple solution to this, but i can't find it! I've done my in & out points, i've created a new clip and i'd like to give it a unique name. When i rename the clip the original file name also changes. How can i rename the new clip without changing the original file name?
Please help,
Thanks
EdEither make the clip a subclip or convert it to a new master clip. Both can be done in the Modify menu.

Hello to everyone,
I need to change the old file name for that I used this code ......but the problem here is..............
normally I will get the file name is
/interfaces/in/1601/payroll03052007
directory
/interfaces/in/1601
file name is payroll03052007
so the new file name starts with z ...like zpayroll03052007.....here the problem is...'z' should come before the file name.......for that how can I write the code.......
form renamefile.
file-name-old(50) = jefile(50).
v_date = sy-datum.
v_time = sy-uzeit.
concatenate: file-name-old '-' hrec-hpostdate(2) hrec-hpostdat
into file-name-
concatenate: file-name-old v_date v_time into file-name-new.
Rename Input file to prevent second interface of data
refresh rctable.
call function 'Z_RENAME_FILE'
exporting
source_file_name = file-name-old
target_file_name = file-name-new
tables
rc_table = rctable.
if sy-subrc = 0.
write:/ 'Rename function sucessfully executed'.
write:/ 'Renamed file from: ', file-name-old.
write:/ ' to: ', file-name-new.
else.
write:/ 'Z_Rename function could not be executed'.
endif.
Thanks in advance....
Madhu.You can use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. This function is used to execute operating system command and can be used to rename a operating system file. For example you can use "mv" on UNIX or "REN" on Windows systems.

Duplicating a Sequence renames all clips
All of a sudden, after months of stable operations, when I duplicate a sequence, all the clips in the timeline get their names changed to the name of the new sequence. Every time I rename the sequence, the clips get renamed again to match the sequence name.
Also, Find Frame (f) and shift-f don't work. Shift-f highlights the new sequence in the Bin.
These don't fix it:
trashing prefs
relaunching the app
rebooting the computer
repairing permissions
running Disk Warrior
I suppose re-installing the app is next, but a friend just told me that he got the same thing, and reinstalling didn't fix it for him.
Any ideas?I found a half-*** workaround: Create new sequence. Copy all from old sequence. Paste into new sequence. This solved the problem of clip renaming on V2, but not V1 .
Also, when I changed the name from Untitled Sequence to >whatever<, it stealthily changed it's name - several minutes later - to the same as the original sequence that the footage was copied from.
I changed the name again, which stuck for a few minutes, but then later, it changed it's name back to the original sequence again!
This is probably the oddest bug I've yet encountered in FCP. I opened other projects, and am not getting the same behavior. So, I'm concluding this has something to do with the footage, or a combination of sequence settings.
In this case all the footage was ripped (legally) using MPEGStreamclip from DVDs to ProResHQ, and put into a 720x480 Sequence in FCP using the ProResHQ compressor.
Another curiosity is that I get the red timeline bar using Safe RT which should not be the case, since the footage codec matches the sequence settings.
