If we are rendering new version of the sequence Media Encoder automatically ads "_1"  to the filename. But it should be "_2" becouse it's the second version.

Sorry for not being clear. The option with the suffix does still exist. My response was only about changing the numbering of the files if the previous already exists to _2 instead of _1.

After discussing this, we fear that this could potential break existing (scripted) workflows of our customers.

Also interested in this- Media Encoder used to do automatic file numbering in the 2022 version I believe, would be great to have this feature back. 

 

It is useful when exporting GIFs or other promotional clips as it saves renaming the exported files on the back end.

Maybe it could be an option (check mark in Premiere and Media Encoder properties) - not only for numbering of new  render versions, but for all exports?

"Automatically add sufix to exporter filenames"

and then a field for customizes options - for example: YYMMDD HH.MM (date and time)?

Something like cell formating in Excel.

I cannot find that option either in Media Encoder nor Premiere Pro - how can I set automatic such suffix to all exported files: " - YYMMDD - HH.MM"

It is under "Preferences…" > "General" > "Output" > "

"Increment output file name if file with same name exists".

It's just adding "_1", "_2" and so on... I meant adding rendering date and time  in preffered format - for example like this: "YYMMDD - HH.DD". And I think it should be a Premiere Pro and After Eccects function i "Export" panels.

I think we already have a feature request for more flexible naming.
