Batch Processing to Rename Files

I use batch processing to rename file in Photoshop Elements 5.0. I renamed my files with the MRW extension and the extension was changed to PSD.
I also tried batch processing to turn the MRW file into RAW files. I was able to do that but then Photoshop Elements was not able to open the newly renamed RAW files.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Bill

You cannot make changes to your actual raw files. You must convert them to another format to do this, which is what PE is doing. The kind of RAW files PE/PS can read or create without going through ACR (the camera raw plugin window) are not camera raw files, but photoshop raw files, a very old PS format that is not good for much these days.

  • Batch Process - Export Settings - File Name Template syntax?

    Can anyone explain the syntax for the File Name Templates in the Export Settings of Batch Process?  Back in the good ol days of Audition 3, I could use ???????? to keep just the first 8 characters of the original filename for my processed files.  In CS6 there are a few templates, but no decent explanation as to what they do or how to create your own.  Can anyone shed some light? 

    Yes, I believe %n is the original name, but what sort of syntax is available to modify the filename ?  There is one that does "%a\%d\%t -%s" for instance, but I don't know what it does.  And you aren't allowed to use * or ? characters, which really limits wildcarding. 
    The one I am needing to do is rename original files that are 12 characters long -- 00000x00_001.wav -- to just the first 8 characters -- 00000x00.wav
    I should probably put this in another post, but does anyone know offhand how to get the "interpret sample rate as" to work in a batch "favorite" process?  I do the action when I am creating the "Favorite" but it skips that step when applying it to a file. 

  • Image Sequences and Batch Processing: Can opening files from different folders as image sequences be set up as an action for batch processing?

    I have an ongoing series of tasks that necessitates opening the contents of a series of folders as image sequences.
    I'm used to setting up some fairly complex actions, including ones that are intended to be applied to all of the contents of materials in various subfolders, but for some reason I cannot get an Open-with-Image-Sequence-Checked action to set up in a way that will batch process correctly.
    Complicating matters is that the file prefixes (i.e., the letters before the sequential numbers) and the folders will always have different names from the last time the process had to be carried out.
    The steps I would like the action to carry out would be the following:
    1. Open Subfolder 1 - that is, Photoshop shouldn't be looking for a specific folder. It's just *any* subfolder to the current parent folder.
    2. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
    3. Open as an image sequence.
    4. Open Subfolder 2.
    5. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
    6. Open as an image sequence.
    ...rinse and repeat until Photoshop runs out of subfolders to check.
    Am I asking the impossible?
    Thanks!

    I'll look around there,  because I had posted something about this and was told to look here ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net  
    then this is the image here:
    is the result I received.  Granted I'm new to using scripts and actions for image processing large amounts of files.  

  • Batch processing InDesign CS5 files

    When I select either individual InDesign files or the entire folder to batch process to a pdf I get a message that says that the InDesign files can't be found or opened. It initially wanted to launch ID CS4 so I uninstalled that thinking that was the problem. Acrobat still will not batch create pdfs saying the application can not be found. I can create a pdf directly from the ID file but because I have llmost 300 ID files to convert I would really prefer to be able to batch create these pdfs. I am using Acrobat 9.0. Help!

    To get a PDF, via Acrobat, from a non-PDF file format the file format must be supported.
    Acrobat has various ways to take supported file formats and provide a PDF.
    Looking at what is supported by PDFMaker
      (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html)
    and at what is supported for direct file conversion
      (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/supported-file-formats-acrobat-reader.html)
    the InDesign file formats are not listed.
    Based on this I'd say you are going to have to use InDesign's internal process to get PDF from the InD files.
    Be well...

  • Batch processing of audio files?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to easily apply a particular process to multiple audio files without having to set it for each file individually?
    For example, if I wanted to apply a fade out of a certain length - say 5 ms - to about 80 small audio files...
    A friend of mine uses PEAK for sample editing... In PEAK, this can be acheived very easily by turning on the "batch processor", tweaking the settings, and then it applies that process to every file you import until you turn the batch processor off, and since you can import multiple files at once, voilla!
    So if there is a way to do this sort of thing in Logic, or any of the other apps that came in Logic Studio, please do share.
    Thanks in advance

    Actually, you could use SoundtrackPro, which is bundled with Logic Studio. I didn't try fades but I have a few other AppleScripts that I use for batch processing. What you have to do is to open an audio file, do whatever you need and save that as an AppleScript. After that, all you have to do is to drag your files on the AppleScript icon in the Finder.

  • Batch processing a PDF file with photoshop droplet

    hey, ive been trying and trying to make a photoshop droplet where i can drop a pdf on it and it will apply a "levels" (cmd+L on mac) change to all of the pages and re export it as a pdf.
    .....i know how to record actions and create droplets but there are issues with the number of pages of the pdf and the name of the pdf
    if you can figure out method for this and share that would be AWESOME!

    Which version of Audition are you using? The latest ones allow you to specify where the batched files are saved and also if any Prefix or Postfix are added to the file name. These are all under Export Settings in the Batch Process pane. However you must have the Export box ticked to give you access to the settings.

  • What is the name of the process that renames File & Folders? To fix name entry problem?

    What mac linux process found in the Activity Monitor renames files and folders? My mac is slow under mac osx 10.7.5 and nearly unusable to name files and folders since as you name them it will jump the cursor and highlight causing the name I put in to disappear. I hate this so much I'm looking at a windows box! So what process can I raise priority of to help with this severe problem?

    Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit)
    Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
    If you are referring to that red stem with the blue head at the Timeline level in the Expert workspace, that is indeed the Timeline Indicator (also referred to as CTI).
    To be ruled in or out at the onset...whether or not you see an orange line over the Timeline content that you are attempting to preview?
    If you (manually) or the project (automatically) have set the correct project preset, there should be no colored line
    of the source video when it is first dragged to the Timeline. That is the program telling you that you are getting
    the best possible preview. If orange, you are not and need to "Render" the Timeline content to get the best possible preview.
    Does this "Timeline Rendering" factor apply to your situation?
    If you are getting the best possible preview, we still need to know the properties of your source media ---
    video compression
    audio compression
    frame size
    frame rate
    interlaced or progressive
    pixel aspect ratio
    Often the above can be gathered from knowing brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    Also are you observing this behavior if you start a new project or use different source media, such as, stills or videos
    recorded with a different format?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Batch Processing of PDF files to JPG

    i'm having this aweful issue of PFG to JPG conversions
    Now the files are in pdf format and their sizes are quite large, round 15000px height maybe
    I only want my jpg files to be 700px high, for this once my pdf files have been opened in photoshop, i created an action for this, that part is ok
    I tried batch conversion, using actions as well, but it's still not that automatic because the pdf window still pops up every time a new pdf is being opened on photoshop asking me for how high i want my pdf file. so if i have 600 pdfs (i do!) it's 600 times i have to type in 700 px in the height box. 
    Plus the pdf files have been partitioned into folders and subfolders, the actions also have a problem: they don't save it in the same folder as from where i opened them.
    is there any way out of this ?

    There is a script called PDF Processor you can try.
    The last one listed is the one you want (most up to date)
    http://ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1882&sid=4756172e6aed44b1195bbee6ce4b9367
    Put the script in your photoshop>presets>scripts folder and the script should then
    be under File>Scripts>Pdf Processor.

  • How can I batch process CR2 raw files to tif's without losing color adjustments?

    Working in BRidge and Photoshop CS6:
    I have 160 color adjusted hi-res CR2 RAW files from my photographer, thought I was getting tifs. I need tifs for my INdesign file. I tried using the photoshop image proecessor through brige by selecting all my images and then saving as TIFFs but I am losing all my color correcting? Is there a way to save these out as tiffs as a group and not one at a time? I also might have lost my color correcting when I copies them all to one folder as well...not sure what is happening except now my great product shots look like crap. Please help.

    Simply drag the entire folder through Bridge—or even individual files—the invisible xmp files containing your adjustments will automatically and invisibly travel along with the image files, as long as you do it within Bridge, not through the OS.
    Otherwise, you would need to set your Mac OS to always make invisible files visible, and you don't want that hassle.
    Just use Bridge to move files around or to copy them to a new folder.
    Incidentally, there's a dedicated Adobe Bridge forum:

  • Is there a way to NOT add "_X4" to the pdf file name after batch processing conversion?

    whenever i convert a pdf file to a certain profile in batch processing, the pdf file duplicates with the other one having an "_x4" in the filename. i already tried removing in fixups (preflight) but i can't. do you have any ideas? thanks!

    Kindly let me know the below mentioned information:
    which application you are using for convertion.

  • Can I batch process? I need identical effect processing of multiple video files

    I have just joined Creative Cloud, so these are very basic questions.....sorry.
    I shoot videos of live bands using two cameras, so I usually end up with around 25 separate songs per show and 50 separate files (2 cams, two files per song). All the files are: 1920x1080 resolution, 23.976p frame rate, Pro Res 422 codec.
    I currently edit in FCPX and color correct in DaVinci Resolve.
    Because of low light conditions, I often need to use the effect Neat Video to remove noise. However, FCPX doesn't like Neat Video: freezes up, will restart rendering sometimes, etc.
    So, I need a way to take the color-corrected files from Resolve and process with Neat Video, then import them into FCPX for multi-cam editing. (If Premiere Pro handles Neat Video well, then I may switch from FCPX  to Premiere Pro and do it all there.........but I need time to learn Premiere Pro).
    So I decided to try After Effects for this. I just tested some files in AE and the Neat Video processing went well.
    However, I need to batch process the files if possible. Currently for each file I am:
    (1) Setting up a Composition
    (2) Adding the Neat Video effect to the file
    (3) Using the Neat Video window to adjust settings
    (4) Setting the render settings
    With my approach I will have to set up 50 separate Compositions.
    Questions:
    (1) Can I batch process all 50 files, with one set of settings? (I tried using multiple files in one composition, but AE only rendered out the top file).
    (2) Can I tell AE that I want the render settings to be the same as the imported files (resolution, frame rate, etc.), rather than having to enter the render settings each time? I just want the rendered files to be identical to the original files, except for Neat Video processing.
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think Mylenium understood you. You need to not only bring each of 50 clips into it's own Comp but then you need to apply an effect (Neat Video) to each one before going out to the Render Queue... right?
    Here's what I would do. Import all 50 clips into your project. Select all of them and drag to Comp button (on the bottom of the Project panel) or right click - "New Comp from Selection". In the dialog that pops up selct "Single Composition", use dimensions from the clip of your choosing, select "Add to Render Queue" and select "Sequence Layers". Open the Comp and select all the layers (they may already be selected), apply the default Neat Video Effect to all of them (or apply it to one, tweak it, select all the other layers and copy/paste it).
    Now download this script...
    http://www.redefinery.com/ae/view.php?item=rd_RenderLayers
    In After Effects go to File/Scripts/Run Script File and choose the rd_RenderLayers script. Make sure you are happy with the Render Module settings and the file naming and off you go.
    You'll have all 50 clips in 1 Comp, with one place to copy effects and then each layer gets output back to an individual file.

  • Pro Ver 6 Batch Processing Error

    When running batch processing on .doc files, at the end of the run the batch processor errors and warnings window shows a "bad parameter" message for each document. But it does not say what the bad parameter is. I can successfully convert the same document manually, so not sure what to do. The log file is no help, as that just contains the same error messages. Running version 6.0.6 of Acrobat Pro, WinXP Pro and Office 2003. The documents are all single page Word files with an embedded .tif file. The manually converted .pdf files look fine.

    hi TAJ0808,
    there is a fix for it go and ask support we already have it installed.
