Renaming movie file

I can't rename one of my movie files in itunes. Everytime I change the title through the info, it goes back to the original title. I checked to make sure that I had read/write privleges and I do. What should I do?

iTunes will rename the finder file name to match the "Name" column of the iTunes window. If you rename the file from the finder then play the file via iTuens it will again be renamed to match the "Name" column.
To rename items then do it from the iTunes window and not the finder. Also make suer the file is not locked.

  • Renaming .mov files

    I am using FCP 6.0.6. I need to rename many of the .mov files used in my FCP projects. Will I be able to reconnect them once, or will I need to reconnect the media everytime? What else should I be on the look out for?
    Alternatively, I have a back up hard drive with all the files organized. Can I use that hard drive with the FCP sequences I've built using another hard drive? Will it be able to match sequences based on duration?
    Thanks.

    You would be hard pressed to be able to reconnect them at all.  Unless you remembered the original names of every file, and reconnected one at a time. This is a BAD idea.  You rename BEFORE you edit.  If you rename, you reimport into the project...don't do it after you started editing. Bad bad bad bad...

  • Renaming .mov file corrupts data

    Recently I used Data Rescue 2 to recover my external HDD data after an accidental partition. The result was that Data Rescue 2 found all of the video files and marked them with a generic file name in a numbered sequence. Eg: QT0023.mov, QT0024.mov ect. These files play fine in Quicktime, and once imported to iTunes also play properly. The problem is, when I rename the files in iTunes to the proper titles, the file becomes unplayable in both iTunes and by Quicktime. Quicktime reports that the file is not a movie file, while iTunes gives no error.
    Anyone?

    Hello
    I have one folder with several mov files each with a different name.
    I also have 2 text files in the same folder.
    ORIGINAL.txt file with the current mov filename in the folder.
    RENAME.txt file with the replace names for each file.
    Is the only content in the file the names?  Are the files actually named ORIGINAL.txt and RENAME.txt?
    In Terminal, if you enter: cat RENAME.txt, do  you get the new filename?

  • Create folder (rename), move files and delete source

    This seems a simple and obvious need but I cant find anything to help.
    I want to be able to create a folder with a unique name (I would prefer to input the folder name when the workflow is run), move some files into it, and ensure the source files in the original location are deleted.
    The problem with the create new folder action as it stands is that it COPIES any files passed into it. I want to MOVE the files into a new folder.
    Am I missing something obvious?

    There's no out of the box way to achieve what you're looking for.
    Two solutions:
    1. Your users would need to open the entry first and then click on the "edit this file" link.
    2. You could code your own folder view or landing page element and build what you need.

  • Nikon D7000 .MOV files in Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5

    I recently upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. Initially Nikon D7000 .MOV files used in previous CS5 Premiere Pro project would not play well in CS5.5. Now .MOV files do work in both PP and AE CS5.5. Here are the steps I followed. Not recommending you follow my steps exactly, just providing info for those that are interested.
    1.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5 and open previous PP CS5 project, convert project to CS5.5 and rename project file as not to replace previous CS5 project file.
    a.       At this point .MOV files do not play in new project or in AE CS5.5
    b.      Close Premiere Pro and After Effect if still running.
    2.       Using Adobe Bridge CS5.5, batch rename;
    a.       Make copies of original files to new folder location while renaming file extension from .MOV to .mpg
    b.      Let Adobe Bridge finish creating all new thumbnail previews.
    c.       Leave Bridge running in background.
    3.       Launch Premiere Pro CS5.5, let Premiere finish recreating thumbnail previews if needed.
    a.       Attempt to preview existing .MOV file in project. It worked for me.
    b.      Attempt to play sequence containing .MOV files. It worked for me.
    c.       Attempt to play or modify sequence .MOV files in AE CS5.5 via Dynamic Link within Premiere. It worked for me.
    d.      Close Premiere Pro project and AE projects if open.
    4.       Create new Premiere Pro project and sequence
    a.       Import a different Nikon D7000 .MOV file not previously used or renamed.
    b.      Attempt to play this newly imported .MOV file. This worked for me as well.
    c.       The new, previously un-renamed .MOV file also worked in AE CS5.5 for me.
    I will perform additional tests but at the moment Nikon D7000 .MOV files are working for me in CS5.5 after initially performing a batch rename in Bridge CS5.5 from .MOV to .mpg and letting Bridge create preview files. Even .MOV files not renamed now work.
    An example of Nikon D7000 footage edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, After Effects CS5.5, and Sound Booth CS5 can be seen on my blog, http://stevelandonsmyth.typepad.com/steve-landon-smyths-blog/2011/07/my-first-hd -video-shoot-with-nikon-d7000.html

    Hello,
    I see 2 post in this thread from Todd that say they are working on a fix and it should be out soon.  One is from July, the other from August.  It is now Sept 7th and I still see no patches or fixes for any bugs.  I spent 400 dollars on an upgrade, but is this upgrade going to be supported?
    This is making me rethink upgrading to the .5's in the future.
    It is a minor bug to most, but in that sense it should be an easy quick fix. Am I wrong? Is this really a complicated issue?
    I apologize if this comes off like a rant, but thats kinda what it is.  It is not hard to batch rename files, but its a pain to have to relink all those files in PP.

  • Can't rename movie in iTunes

    I imported a few home movies into iTunes. However a few of them can't be renamed. What ever I tried, the name was reset to the old name. I've tried
    renaming the name field in iTunes (directly in the list but also in the "Info"-Window - new file name is accepted but disappears
    copying the movie file to the desktop;
    deleting the movie from iTunes (I selected to delete the file too and verified that it was deleted);
    renaming the movie-file on the desktop to the desired name;
    importing the renamed movie-file into iTunes
    result: the renamed file appeared in the folder where the original file was but about half way through the copying process it is being renamed to the old name (under which it appears also in the iTunes list).
    I should mention that the iTunes library is on a Synology DiskStation. ...urgently need help - any idea what can be done? Thanks!!

    iTunes will rename the finder file name to match the "Name" column of the iTunes window. If you rename the file from the finder then play the file via iTuens it will again be renamed to match the "Name" column.
    To rename items then do it from the iTunes window and not the finder. Also make suer the file is not locked.

  • No video (black), audio only, from imported .mov files

    Bear with me while I explain the whole process to get where I am, which is that in FCE, I am importing .mov files and they are completely black, no video, just audio.  When I bring a clip into the timeline and try to render even a small clip, it is still black.
    I'm not well-versed in video so please bear with me:
    Steps:
    1.  I received large video files from a videographer
    2.  the large files could not be imported or played in FCE
    3.  downloaded HandBrake converter and began converting files.  Kept them at the same size, but they were then renamed .mov files.
    4.  When I open them in QuickTime, they are black - no video.  But when I see them on the drive and press spacebar in 'finder' to play them, I can see the video.
    5.  When I import them into FCE they are black - no video - just audio.
    FCE is currently set (in Easy Setup) to:  AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920-1080i60
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried converting one file to mp4 and it works fine in FCE, but this takes a long, long time to convert.
    thanks
    There is a 2nd issue that may relate to this:  I am trying to import JVC .m4v files and I am getting "File error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unkown".  These files CAN be opened in Quicktime.
    FCE HD 4.0.1
    Mac OS 10.6.8

    I'm having similar, but slightlly different issues.
    I have been using FCE 4 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
    I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec.  This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
    So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
    The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file.  GRRRR!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Steve

  • HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

    Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

  • .mov files are now renamed

    Why are my .mov files suddenly getting renamed when I add them to Keynote? They used to retain their original names. Very confusing now.

    That's a well documented limitation of JavaFX. Mov files are simply not supported.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/overview/faq-1446554.html#7
    You should vote for the corresponding JIRA entries.

  • Ssis - move files from one directory to another and rename destination file if present

    Hello,
    How is it possible to move files from one directory to another directory and if the file already exists in destination directory then rename it?
    Thanks

    1. Use a foreach loop with file enumerator pointing to first directory.
    Inside loop have a ssis variable of type string to get filename (@[User::FileName])
    Choose option as Fully Qualified in loop
    2. Add another variable called @[User::DestFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],<source directory path>,<destination directory path>)
    put actual paths in above expression in your case
    and another variable called @[User::RenameFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".","_old.")
    3. Create a boolean variable say @[User::FileEXists]
    4. Add a Script Task inside the loop and pass @DestFileName variable in ReadOnly mode and FileExists in ReadWrite mode
    Inside Script Task write code as per below
    http://blog.dbandbi.com/2013/11/13/check-file-exists-ssis/
    5. Add File System Task choose operation as Rename File, Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::RenameFileName] variable
    6. Choose ExpressionAndConstraint option for precedeence constraint from ScriptTask to above File System Task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and expression as
    @FileExists == True
    7. Add another File System task with operation as Move File Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::FileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable. Join Script Task as well as
    File System Task above to this task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and Multiple Constraint option as Or (dotted line)
    Then once executed it will work as per your requirement

  • Renaming and transferring quick time.mov files

    I record video with my digital camera and load it from the SD card, to my Toshiba laptop that runs Vista as it's operating system.
    I used to be able to rename the files with ease, but now I can not at all. I select the file I want to rename, click enter and the machine will not respond. I always end up having to close the program, with successfully being able to rename the files.
    I also have tried burniung the .mov files onto CD or DVD, to load them onto my Dell desktop that runs XP as it's o.s. but can't accomplish that either.
    HELP!!!!

    Deleting the quicklook preferences file cleared the problem.

  • Using Powershell to Move & Rename a File

    I was wondering if there is a powershell script I could run as a scheduled task that will perform the following:
    Move file from "C:\Program Files (x86)\NCSOFT\Aion\Chat.log"
    To "C:\Users\Longstone\Documents\Aion Logs\Chat Log"
    Rename the Chat.log in the new location to yearmonth.log (e.x.200910) or any similar descriptive name
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nick,
    The { } indicate a string formatting placeholder, and the 0 means the first placeholder. The -f is PowerShell's format operator, and the get-date cmdlet returns the current date. The get-date cmdlet is enclosed in ( ) in order to make PowerShell evaluate it
    as an expression.
    Since you are new to PowerShell, I recommend two books: Windows PowerShell in Action by Bruce Payette and
    Windows PowerShell Cookbook by Lee Holmes.
    HTH,

  • FTP-File : move file from a folder to another

    Hi experts,
    Here is the deal :
    I have a FTP folder (OS windows) where my files are stored. As I want XI to pick them one by one, I need a way to move them one by one in another folder of the FTP before message processing, folder that will be polled by XI
    How can I do that ?
    more concretly :
    I have 5 files in a folder called Standard, files are named : TEST1_hhmmss.xml, TEST2_hhmmss.xml, etc.
    I have another folder, lets say Standard_child that XI scans every 5 minutes. As I want my 5 files to get picked one by one every 5 minutes, I need a way on the FTP before message processing that moves TEST1_hhmmss.xml in folder Standard_child then XI picks up this file, and so on until all files are consumed.
    Thanks a lots for any help, ive been struggling for days... so far I tried with a script that renames file before, but did not work on FTP...
    Kind regards,
    Jamal

    Hi
    This site may be helpful
    http://www.computing.net/answers/programming/batch-to-move-file-by-sysdate/14939.html
    you can check the net for more answers
    1) make a logic & ensure that ur script works fine in your sender system (where all files will be placed)
    2) you can try it urself if you have access to the systems command prompt
    3) use scheduler, of your sender system (you said it is windows) you can check help to see how you can schedule programs - there call your script.
    4) now your script will send the files to child folder one by one as per your logic, which can be picked by XI

  • .mov file does not display on the web-site

    iWeb is easy to use but my simply link to a .mov file does not work. I am working on the Domain file on my Desktop so I can move it between computers, and it renames the media file in the inspector from name.mov to name-1.mov. In the end the site does not display the animation.

    Are you linking to this file so that it can be downloaded from your website?
