Batch renaming f m2t files

I just upgraded from FCE to FCP. I wonder if there is a way to rename m2t files captured from a CF card, either in the log&capture window or directly after that, in the browser? Now I have different cards with the same file name beginning (e.g. 00_) and that makes it impossible to sort them logically in a bin, even when I chose recording time and date as a criterium.

If you're using FCP you should ask this question on the FCP forum.

Batch renaming of m2t files from compact flash card

I just upgraded from FCE to FCP. I wonder if there is a way to rename m2t files captured from a CF card, either in the log&capture window or directly after that, in the browser? Now I have different cards with the same file name beginning (e.g. 00_) and that makes it impossible to sort them logically in a bin, even when I chose recording time and date as a criterium.

Update, I hooked up an external Powered USB port and plugged my card reader into it. When I run it this way, it works fine. It seams that I am having a power problem with my USb port when hooking up the non-powered device to the ports. What would cause my ports not to power my non-powered devices....software....hardware...? Profiler shows USB ports as 500 power.

Batch rename of avi files

I am looking for the solution to batch rename multiple avi files simply.
In iphoto, I just select a bunch of image files and using the ctrl+Shift+CMD keyboard shortcut, I input the name something like 'boat_trip_kids' I get the files renamed instantly wiith or without the suffix of a number.
Thing is, how to do for vdo files ?
I read a totorial and then tried using automator to do this but I have to input the name_of_the_file in the script construction. That's ok for hundreds of files but I will have many names to use for naming of small groups of files and this won't be practical.
Is there some way I can achieve this in automator ?
Perhaps someone with expertise with automator can talk me through the way?
Thx,

I need to batch rename and relink files in indesign

I have a whole bunch of files that I need to rename ( I need to add a prefix on to the front eg. a whole group of files called "plan.jpg" 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc... need to now read ORD_plan.jpg, ORD_01.jpg, etc...) I can batch rename the files in adobe bridge, but I have to go in one by one and re-connect the links. Is there a script which can batch rename and relink all the files?
Thanks!

This biterscripting script may possibly help. It takes two input arguments.
directory - directory under which the .jpg files are located
prefix - prefix which will be added to each file's name
# Script RenameJpg.txt
var str directory, prefix, list, filepath, name
cd $directory
find -n "*.jpg" > $list
while ($list <> "")
do
    lex "1" $list > $filepath ; stex -p "^/^l[" $filepath > $name
    set $name = $prefix+$name
    system copy ("\""+$filepath+"\"") ("\""+$name+"\"")
done
This is the way you would use it - copy and paste the script code into file C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt, then enter this command into biterscripting.
script "C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt" directory("C:/test") prefix("ORD_")
It will rename C:/test/plan.jpg to C:/test/ORD_plan.jpg, C:/test/01.jpg to C:/test/ORD_01.jpg, etc.
Important: I am using the 'system copy' command so that files are copied instead of renamed. Once you are happy with the test, you can change that command to 'system rename'.
Also, if the .jpg files are within subfolders of C:/test, change the 'find -n' to 'find -r -n'. -r means recursive = search in subfolders. Syntax for the find command at http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages/lf.html

Batch Rename and now files will not open

i hope someone can help me. i moved some .dng files from an external drive to my mapbook pro using batch rename in bridge CS5. The files moved to my desktop ine, but now they will not open. When I try to open them the digital convertor opens up. When I try to open them in photoshop it says it is a unrecognized format. They were fine ten minutes ago in bridge. does anyone have anything they can have me try? I am depserate to get these images printed up tonight and I don't have time to edit them again.

You probably forgot to include the extension .dng or renamed with an extra dot (.) in the filename. Be surr to have only 1 dot with the three letter extension dng at the end (. dng)
You can use Bridge for that again to rename and use the dng extension

Batch rename of selected files undoes all my groups

I use groups extensively in Bridge CS3. Lately, when I batch rename files within a group, Bridge completely undones all the groups in the folder (2.5GB, total). Why is that happening?
Thanks

What are you calling "groups"? Do you have all 2.5 gig of pictures in one folder? If so, make each group its own folder. Too many shots in one folder will cause slow rebuilding of thumbnails for the screen, and it can lead to crashes if you change views before build is complete. Many try to limit to 200-800 per folder depending on size of images.
The order of the picutures on the screen has to do with how you have the sort set up in the filter panel. If you change the name it could reorder the display.

My CS4 Batch Rename turns jpg files to unknown files

Hi! I use CS4 Bridge and when I Batch Rename files they turns to unknown files but properly renamed, Is it possible turn they back to jpg? Can anyone help with this problem?

Batch renaming lots of files without zeroes (0065) and without 1(2), 2(2)

Hi there,
When renaming say 100 images, you can select three digits, and create something like:
Image _001
Image _002
Image _003
Image _004
Image _005
Image _067
Image _068
Image _069
and so forth.
But if you select one digit it comes out like:
Image _1
Image _2
Image _3
Image _4
Image _5
Image _6
Image _7
Image _8
Image _9
Image _1(1)
Image _2(1)
Image _3(1)
Image _4(1)
Image _5(1)
Image _6(1)
Image _7(1)
Image _8(1)
Image _9(1)
Image _1(2)
Image _2(2)
Image _3(2)
Image _4(2)
Can bridge rename from say 1 to 100 without the zeros, yet still numbering consecutively without (#)?
I'm looking for:
Image _1
Image _2
Image _3
Image _4
Image _5
Image _6
Image _7
Image _8
Image _9
Image _10
Image _11
Image _12
Image _97
Image _98
Image _99
Image _100
Image _101
Seems pretty simple.

Hi,
I have a preset that does what you are looking for..
In Batch rename, I use a string subsitution with a regular expression "_0|_00" - which means "find _0 OR _00"
New Filenames
String Substitution - Original Filename - Find _0|_00 - Replace with _
(make sure 'Use Regular Expression' is checked)
See screenshots below...

Batch Rename Part of File Names

Bridge CS3 and Windows XP Home. Have a set of files having names like: ijc-552346-c01_lay, ijc-552552-c01, ijc-552345-c552, ijc-552657. Wish to change the ijc-552 portion to ijc-559; for example, ijc-552346-c01 to ijc-559346-c01, ijc-552552-c01 to ijc-559552-c01, ijc-552345-c552 to ijc559345-c552 and so on. Need help on proper parameter set-up to do a batch file rename. Have hundreds of files to change.

Thanks Curt and Olaf for the suggestions.
Since I am not script literate decided to check for utilities. Just downloaded v8 of "Flexible Renamer" which is free, seems to offer plenty of function and has some good reviews. Will give it a try!

How to batch rename iPhoto photo-files?

Hi there,
I do have some 15.000 photos in my library and many of them do have the same names (digital camera or digital disc transfer).
So when I just want to copy some photos to another folder or whatever, i run into some problems because many photos carry the same name, they cant be saved into one folder.
Do i have a chance of batch renamining the FILENAMES of my iPhoto library without damaging anything?
Alexander

You can select the files you want to rename, right click and choose "Batch Change". Select the title, select Text, and then type in a name... click on the checkbox to append a sequence number to the photo.
OR if you want to go through and manually select photos and rename them, just edit their title.
NOW for the tricky part. This renames the image in the iPhoto library, but as you mentioned, the filenames are not being changed. Select the photos you just renamed, and export them (from the file menu). You then can direct iPhoto to export them using the TITLE rather than the existing original file name. Look in the folder, and you will see that you have new files created with the title as the filename instead.
This can be confusing, but just remember iPhoto IS a database, not a file browser (like Finder).

Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Stopped Working

ive been using bridge exclusively to rename/
organize my files and today for some odd reason it just will not work. i select the files i wish to rename and then select batch rename and name/numer the files as ive always done before and when i click rename nothing happens at all. i cleared out my cache to no avail and im now officially stumped. any help is appreciated. thanks!

Your problem does seem odd. Difficult to troubleshoot by remote, so run a few tests and see if you can narrow the problem down.
By any chance are you trying a batch re-name of files on an external drive? If so may be permissioning problem.
Do you have this problem in all folders or just one? If one there may be a contaminated file or name (i.e. flower.jpeg.jpeg)
To avoid fouling up your files copy a dozen or so and put in "test" folder then run these tests.
Can you do a simple rename of one file?
Can you do a batch rename of one file?
If the above is true can you do batch rename for all files in this folder?
If so does the extension make any difference - jpeg, psd, etc.?

Bridge hangs on batch rename

I would like to run Bridge CS5 to import images from CF cards (among other reasons, to eliminate the need for PhotoMechanic for importing) in the following way:
1. acquire images from multiple CF cards from multiple cameras using the yyyymmdd sequence
2. sort images by Date Created (i.e. the camera date/time taken)
3. batch rename all sorted files into the sequence "tfnnnnnn"
4. move various selected images into a new directory(s)
This process works up to and including the #3 (batch rename) function. However, after file rename takes place, Bridge CS5 hangs and will not terminate. The resulting screen display is stuck with the "yyyymmdd" file names. I have to cancel bridge and restart. Examination of the directory after the rename indicates the rename was successful with each renamed file having an image file and an associated xmp file and all files are accounted for.
Is this a problem with Bridge or have I done something wrong?
OS is WinXP 32 bit.

I just installed photoshop on win7 64bit. things work correctly

Batch renaming setting xmp to read-only

Doing some batch renaming of audio files and it seems like randomly xmps are being set to read-only, losing the previous filename preservation in the process.
Purging the cache for the folder seems to reset the xmp back from read-only, but i dont know
why it is happening.

Batch renaming m2t files

I wonder if there is a way to rename m2t files captured from a CF card, either in the log&capture window or directly after that, in the browser? Now I have different cards with the same file name beginning (e.g. 00_) and that makes it impossible to sort them logically in a bin, even when I chose recording time and date as a criterium.

There are also many utilities that will rename files. Go to versiontracker.com and do some searching.

How can I Batch Rename Files in Aperture?

Yesterday I imported some new photos and accidentally used the settings from my last import which named my images in a way that needs to be changed. I have already rated and edited many of the images so I don't want to reimport them from my memory cards.
Is there a way to batch rename the images - preferably to the original file name from the camera? If not a custom name would be fine.
