![]() ![]() ![]() I have 64 files called C0001.mp4 for example Due to slightly challenging conditions in existing, filming and backing up the footage whilst living in a vehicle, the file structure whilst backing up isn't great (ad hoc is being kind) and default file names used from the cameras, date and time not always correct. Now safely home I've managed to back it all up in 3 or 4 places and have a (double backed up) T3 32TB RAID 0 enclosure to edit from. XML file that FCPS won't import, the rest are all. This was mostly shot on a Sony A6600, but also with 2 Osmo Actions, 1 Osmo Pocket and a Mavic Air, all at 4K 25P. So use that file naming convention of yours in a separate map/file BACKUP structure!

If you don't have a proper backup then, you'll be totally føcked. It's been known to crash, freeze and generally corrupt itself and the photos in its library (it happened to me twice different iMacs, different type crashes never succeeded in retrieving the lost libraries! They're gone forever!). If you need to correct that you'll have to 1) export all those pix from iPhoto to the desktop, 2) trash all those pix from iPhoto's library, quit and restart iPhoto, rename the pix on the desktop (with one of those renamers) and THEN import those pix into iPhoto. The original filenames will have registered in iPhoto's XML data file indefinitely. If you connect your camera to your Mac and let iPhoto import the pix 'automatically' you will be too late. However, do the renaming BEFORE you import the pix into iPhoto! Of apps on my Mac until I understand the system better)Īll those file renamers will do the trick, Cris.
