Rename Files with Easy File Renamer

Adobe has provided a ton of visuals’ editing software including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects CC. All these software programs can be interlinked through a transitory software known as Adobe Bridge. This software package can be used to rename videos, photos and other files. Here is how it all works.
Use Adobe Bridge
Helping the user with renaming their digital media is one of the core functions of Adobe Bridge. This feature comes in particularly very handy when the user has amassed a huge quantum of photos that have been renamed in a particular manner by adding up a combination of letters (as a date/ timestamp). Adobe Bridge makes renaming such files at once pretty easy.
Adobe Bridge makes use of the batch command to rename photos, which is basically a pretty neat method to organize your files if you don’t have a third-party bulk file renamer.
Here is what you need to do:
- Open Adobe Bridge and navigate to File | Browse.
- Now locate the folder which contains the files you want to rename.
- Select all the files by using the Ctrl + A keys combination.
- Now go to Tools | Batch Rename.
- Select a destination folder for the renamed files. If you don’t want them to move them to a new location, you can also keep them in the present location.
- Adobe Bridge also provides the user with a handful of optional file customizing features such as changing the text field, menus, adding pre-name and post-name values, and adding custom chronological tags.
- Check the preview of the renamed files under the Preview heading.
- If you aren’t sure about the file names that you are about to apply, simply select the checkbox for Preserve current filename in XMP Metadata. This will reference the original name of the files.
- Choose between Windows, Mac OS and Unix, and click Rename to initiate the renaming process.

- Be sure to select Rename from the dropdown menu available at the top.
