Finding Original File Names

In short:
Is there any option on the mac or in FCPX to find out the original filename (f.e. MVI_1234.mov) after transcoding?
In long:
Yesterday night I started importing footage from a Canon 5D into FCPX. When I realized that it stopped importing I got the message you can see below.
The file is there and there is no problem with it and I think that it has something to do with the my energy save settings that stopped FCPX importing.
And I was awake enough to make screenshots from the message to transcode them later manually. But I missed one clip. I do not have an idea how to find that one exempt opening all the transcoded files and the originals and compare their length. Am I missing something here? Is there any log I could look into?
Thanks in advance

Not the greatest method because it changes the file name in the browser, though you can undo once you've seen the name.
In Info view click the action popup (gear in lower right corner) and select Apply Custom Name>Original Name from Camera

  • Files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML and i cannot open why

    files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML for example tester.doc.XML, is there any reason?  I cant open these on mac, if i put it back in PC is shows file as normal without .XML.  Confused.com any ideas.

    I have files on my work laptop (PC) e.g. document1.doc (word document), I then save it to my memory stick (which i have reformatted, I also tried my external disk drive) and then take that to my macbook, plug it in and in finder it then shows as document1.doc.XML, which i cannot open.  It happens to all types of files, it just seems to add .XML on the end of everything.

  • Getting original file name to show in Metadata list.

    I always convert to dng first thing. Then rename the files with clients name. I know that the original file name is still in the metadata, but how do I get it to show up on LR's metadata list?

    Ah. Thank you very much. I figured it was simple, just did not have time to play around to try to find it. I do not often need it, but sometimes my boss will edit a shoot before giving it to me. I prepare it for the customer. Sometimes he has wanted an image that he has under the original file name. So, this helps. Thanks again.

  • Original File Name

    "The Bridge Metadata browser will also display the preserved name"
    Does anyone know how to actually do that?
    More specifically, when batch renaming, there is an option to preserve the current file name in the XMP metadata.  But how does one later view that original file name?  Better yet, how does one sort all the renamed clips according to their original names, thus making it easy to find the one being looked for?

    I tried it and it works for me.  It inserts the preserved filename under the filename line.  You probably need this field checked in metadata preferences.
    It looks like the preserved file name is stored in the XMP sidecar data.  I tried a test Find but the preserved filename does not show up.
    If one slips up on the batch rename, or go back to original, one can revert to original by going back to batch rename and selecting "preserved filename" in new filenames box.

  • Ecxpert Problem in getting the original file name submitted by FTP

    hai,
    when i use the scheduled FTP Application receive mode to receive files from the remote machine, i am not able to get the original file name, Ecxpert itself maintaining it's own file name,
    Even i query the tracking table also i am not able to find the original filename.
    If anybody know how i can able to get the original file name?
    thanks....

    I don't think there is an easy to capture this information. We ended up writing our own FTP tool so we could gather better data. The other problem we had seemed to be sporadic downloads from sites where setting Passive was required.

  • Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
    People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
    Hope somebody has an idea
    thanks

    Hi William,
    I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
    not work the way you described above.
    I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
    Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
    filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
    are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
    did I miss anything? thanks
    I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
    Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
    Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

  • I have exclamation marks and itunes cannot find original file?

    I have exclamation marks and itunes cannot find original file. How do I locate original file?

    Check you have your iTunes settings (Edit, Preferences, Advanced) to keep iTunes library organised.
    Your songs should be in your music library in iTunes, iTunes Media, Music. 
    If they are not, start menu, type the name of a song in the box and the list should show you where that is located. 

  • When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

    When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

    Hi Glenyse,
    Here are my steps.
    1.  I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
    2.  I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
    3.  I enter the recipient's email address.
    4.  The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
    5.  The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
    6.  The image opens up to its own screen.
    7.  The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
    Here is the part I do not understand.  For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name.  So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
    Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

  • How to recover original file names?

    Hi! Please help me.
    I accidentally changed the names of the videos I was using for Adobe Premiere. So now whenever I open the Adobe Premiere file, all the videos are gone and replaced with a red "media offline" screen. Is there any way I can recover the original file names without having to do it manually one by one?
    I've tried going back to the restore point but it's not working. I can't locate it one by one too because I don't remember which video is which.
    I've already edited around 50 videos in that project so it would take me a loooot of time to do it all over again. :((
    Hope you can help me.

    If I understand you correctly, you changed the name of the file in Windows and do not remember what the file names used to be. You edited these in Premiere Pro, and now the project files you have created do not know where to find the video files.
    Is that correct?
    If so, I have what may be a simple solution for you.
    Assuming you are not maxing out each file so they are all exactly the same duration, the number of minutes and seconds and frames ought to get you where you want to go. Almost as unique as a fingerprint on my PC, but I never capture a bunch of videos that are identical in duration - although it is possible to do so, I suppose.
    Open a project file. Checking the properties of each file should reveal theoriginal  file name as well as the duration, which is also available right on the thumbnail image (see the image below).  Then open the Media Browser and look at the durations on each clip. This should be enough to help you either relink, or change the name in Windows back to what it was originally. This is still one at a time, but it should not take too long. A pen and paper might help with 50 videos.

  • Save For Web - saves original file name not new name

    Hello, when I use Save for Web with slice(s) the original file name (appended with the slice number) gets saved even though I have changed the file name in the save dialog. This only happens about 50% of the time. Sometimes it saves as expected - with the new file name. I am using the default settings in the save dialog all the time.
    Stranger is that if I am saving (for Web) say 10 slices some will be named with the original file name and some will be saved with the name I gave it in the save dialog.
    This was happening on my Windows XP sp2 system when I was saving to an Ubuntu server (local network). So when I switched to a new computer running windows 7 and saving to a new server (windows 7 pro) I thought it might fix the problem - but it has not. So there must be a setting I am missing - though that does not account for the intermittency of the problem. I have changed settings under "custom" in the save dialog and things do change except the original file name is persistent not the new name I have given it.
    The PSD files come from a designer using a Mac.
    My system:
    PS 10.01
    Windows 7
    AMD x2 duo 250
    4 gig Ram
    Thank you for any help you may provide

    I made an action to save large batches to a designated "pics" folder. Then when I'm done with a big batch, I just move them to the original folder and let the OS overwrite them. May seem like a lot of work, but I can do a batch of 500 gallery thumbnails in about four minutes and it takes about 30 seconds to move them and replace the originals.

  • How to keep original file name in File- Soap- Soap- File scenario?

    Hi Rajesh - See if you can make use of Dynamic configuration bean. I'm not sure if it works but you can give a try..
    Unknown use case of DynamicConfigurationBean: Store file name to JMS header without mapping
    Adding DynamicConfigurationBean in the Module Processor - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
    Set the adapter specific attributes in file sender channel for filename
    swap the file name value to any other soap adapter attribute in the receiver channel using the above module
    again swap the attributes in soap sender channel(your second system)
    receiver file channel enable ASMA.

  • In bridge am I able to return my images to their original file name?

    yes/no.  Depends on whether you have checked "preserve original file name in XMP" in batch rename.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

    MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

    I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

  • Need action to save a copy with original file name with suffix

    Hi All,
    I am using photoshop 7 (yeah its old, but working fine for me for general purposes). The problem is I have got this new task where I have to provide 3 copies of the same image but with different portions of it. I have several images (.jpeg) which I need to crop two parts of the image and save as two new image files. The requirement is that I need the copy images to bear the same name as the original and with a suffix to identify which cropped portion of the image is it. example, original file name is AB1001.jpg (1600x1200), 1st cropped image name to be AB1001_P.jpg (200x250) and the 2nd cropped image name to be AB1001_Q.jpg(100x180). I have around a 180 files, so need to do it in a batch, pls suggest how can it be done.
    Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
    Regards
    Chhuppa Rustam

    While a script would probably be best, photoshop 7 requires
    you download a scripting plugin which may or may not install
    in photoshop 7 depending on your version.
    You can probably do what you want with actions. The file naming part
    is not hard, but i have a couple of questions about the cropping.
    Are all the images the same size and are the crops in the same position for each?
    In other words on the P crop (200x250), is the crop in the same position on each
    image or different for each?
