renaming / pre-watching / organizing video clips

Hello.
I have a generic videographer question:

I like to bring all the folders with different footage into one folder that would become a project folder.
Then I like to ensure that clips are in the right order and to rename them before importing them into any video editing software that I may use.

How do you quickly watch (or skip through) individual clips, close file, rename file and open the next one?
How do you being your work flow?

I also do this operation so I can delete bad footage and not clutter my bins or worry about storing all the crap on my HD with the project.
What would be the most efficient way to do the prelimenary sorting, re-naming and pre-watching operation?

Thank you.

Why is F2 - rename not working in Premiere (or in Illistrator)?
It would make so much sense if it did.

If you are using a mac, the preview option with a spacebar is a great option

Christian.Z, I am using a PC.

Am I the only person who finds it difficult to import folders with video clips in such a way that each folder would automatically become a bin, in Prelude?

I like to organize my clips and rename them and place them into folders before I begin editing.
This function would be really nice.

I also suggest using Prelude. I wish they'd update that app, because the functionality of it is SO useful for combing through media for the nuggets to actually use.

Neil, it would be extremely helpful to have it on hand. But, now, you really need to pump Bridge or Prelude in order to interest users in the relevance of products. Then they will be in demand, and not gathering dust in the basket. Raise the topic with the developers and let them start developing the product, I'm sure they have a future. The following functions will be in great demand:

1) Cloning projects with MD5 mapping;

2) copying, renaming and moving;

3) cropping extra frames directly from applications to save hard disk space;

4) uploading directly cropped frames to Premiere and AE and etc.

We need to create.

Both are good. It's just that DaVinсi takes measures to correct errors more quickly. Now Blackmagic has a really good job aimed at product productivity. Adobe is striving for this, but so far I can't say anything bad, because now work has started and we see their desire to make the product better.

Resolve has run into the same problem that the Adobe apps have: when you are trying to do all workflows with all possible media across all possible gear ... stability and locked-in performance aren't a guarantee anymore.

Their 17.4 release had the same type of user response as the Adobe 2022 ones: most users working away, some users having to use annoying workarounds but able to work, and some users .... no way they could work. I'd guess about the same percentages as the Adobe apps.

And they put out a patch in a few days, yes, which fixed some things for some users. Noted colorist Mark Todd Osborne though posted on their forum that in his shop, the fixed patch was worse than the 17.4 release itself. And it took some more time before they got out a patch that allowed most users with major problems to get it working.

At which point, I upgraded. I do not tend to jump onto a build until I or other users I know have pushed it around a lot.

These are tools. Fancy hammers. All with good points and nasty things. And I think most of us would love some of the features of the Resolve 'ecosystem' melded into some of the Adobe 'ecosystem'.

Dreams, though ... but it's good to keep pushing them.

First of all, I'd like to praise you for the method you're using in terms of workflow. Being rigourous in your approach saves you from headaches further down the editing process!

Like Ann, suggested, you may use Adobe Bridge to help you in that endeavour, although Adobe used to have Prelude for this purpose. Unfortunately, this has been divested, apparently because not enough users were actively using it and Adobe decided to focus their limited development capability to other apps. But Bridge also offers this functionality.

If you're on Windows, a tool I frequently use to copy, rename and synchronize disks is called Total Commander (www.ghisler.com).

Hope this helps.

Prelude is still here and is perfectly suited for the task:

You're right! It didn't show up with the video apps, for some weird reason. I haven't used it, as Bridge and Total Commander work for me...

Have you tried the Bridge?

I found a much older post about this – and asked my question there already – but short answer: I've tried Bridge, and I just can't get it to work sufficiently to be useful. I can't scrub videos, for example, without terrible lag, skipping frames, etc.

You have mentioned Bridge a few times here in the forum: am I missing something? Does it work well for you?

The other Bridge functionality is great, but I just can't view the clips, so it's kinda useless. Opening each one up in Quicktime to view it properly really slows down the workflow.

I also can't seem to find much of any metadata – clip length, resolution, frame rate, etc. – in Bridge. The Video metadata panel fields are all blank.
