Re: [Avid-L2] Setting or Console Command to modify how Avid names mxf files so they are more readable?

Found This Thread from way back.

Re: The Console and Renamemediafiles function is it bad to use this?

 
I have not used it but here is the latter part of a post, by author unknown to me, from way back when version 3 XDV was state of the art.

"That said, if you want better names for the media files open the console and type "renamemediafiles" (without the quotation marks), then hit enter (or return on a mac). Your media files will immediately get renamed after the project, the track (audio or video) and the masterclip name. Some information may get cropped due to filename length limitations. All the same, it should then be a lot easier to track down specific files. BTW, your files will loose the original reference to the tape name.

Note that this feature is NOT supported by Avid and may or may not work properly (or at all) on all versions. There is no undo for this. I have never had a problem with it, either on XDV or on any Media Composer, but you may want to test the feature on a small batch of files first."
