Print Page - Rename video files with vertical resolution

Title: Rename video files with vertical resolution
Post by: jason404 on March 14, 2019, 08:23:47 AM

I have a load of video files which I want to rename with the vertical resolution at the end.

eg. VideoFileExample1.mp4 renamed to VideoFileExample1.1080.mp4

How would I do this? I was going to write a Windows batch or bash file using the FOR command, but it seems that ExifTool can do batch operations itself.

Thanks.

Hi Jason,

Try this:

exiftool "-testname<%f.$imagewidth.%e" DIR

If this does what you want, then replace "testname" with "filename" to actually rename the files.

I think ImageHeight would be the appropriate tag.

Right, thanks:

exiftool "-testname<%f.$imageheight.%e" DIR

Brilliant, that worked. Thanks Phil and StarGeek.

I only just realised that I had replies, as the forum settings don't seem to automatically set notifications for your own posts.
