oops!

I just rendered half of my animation as jpegs on one machine and half on another. The problem is that I forgot to specify a filename for the second half resulting in just the frame numbers. :expressionless:

Does anyone know of a simple way to change all of the filenames without doing it manually?

i.e. change 0500.jpg to <filename>0500.jpg

I’m working in WinXP.

Thanks!

You could possibly use a webphoto album maker, that might let you specify names for the images how you want instead of doing each one manually.

Sonix.

You can use BAC batch file utility. It’s free. I don’t have a link but it’s findable if you do a search.

Oscars file renamer:
http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm
It lets you rename files in a folder as you would edit a textfile!
Just copy the text you want and paste it in every line.
crtl-v, down(button), home(button) and again.
If you think that is too much work there are renamers with more functions: http://freewarefiles.com/ and search for renamer.
Ive done similar task with vb-script too, that gives you good options on how to solve it.

Thanks!

i always use irfanview or virtual dub. in irfanview there is a batch processing/renaming mode, and virtualdub can open image sequences and output them with a different name.

search for rename-it on google. it’s an awesome program. I realize this is an old thread, but I figured I’d post to it for anyone searching in the future.

go to xnview.com there is a simple way to batch rename under the tools menu I think. works windows mac linux. xnview.com

Well, smick, I think Superdan’s problem was solved almost a year ago :stuck_out_tongue:

haha:) Anyway, there’s an even more usefull program IMO called Irfanview. Not only is it a batch renamer, but can also batch convert, resize, crop, apply effects & filters etc. etc. to images of practically any type. It’s also freeware.
