• What is the "Rename multiple photos or files at once" video tutorial?

 

The video tutorial is about renaming many photos or files at once. Specifically, how to rename files from something unclear to meaningful names; and for multiple files at once.

 

 

• Why rename photos, videos, or other files?

 

You have certainly noticed that when taking pictures with a camera; be it a compact camera, dslr, no mirror or even a phone, the files generated are named "P108493.jpg" or "DSG0985.jpg".

 
These are filenames that make no sense; which shows us nothing without seeing what the file contains.

That is why it is a good idea to rename files; and to avoid wasting time, we will rename them all at once.

 

• I have two methods for you to rename multiple photos

 

1.  Method 1 for renaming group photos:
Even in Windows Explorer, we can rename multiple photos at once. All you have to do is select all the files you want to rename, press F2 (or right-click / rename).

We then choose a name that tells us where the photos were taken and when. For example, "Munte_Busteni_Iulie_2017", and after finishing, I would hit Enter.

Later we will notice that all files are renamed; in addition, each received a unique number (1), (2), (3), etc.

2.  Method 2 for renaming photos or group files:
Here we will use a free application which is very interesting; in the sense that it can extract different data from exif; data that we can display in the name we choose.

I found it extremely useful to choose a name to describe the location; in addition to using the exact date and time the picture was taken. So you can instantly find a photo taken on the morning of July 3, 2018; without looking at photos, for example.
