What It Does
Rename It! is a Premiere Pro extension for batch renaming and organizing items in both the project window and the active timeline sequence. If you’ve ever inherited a messy project full of generic clip names or needed to apply consistent naming conventions across dozens of items, this is the tool for that job.
Key Features
Search by name and label. Find items in the project window or active sequence by name, label color, or item type. You can filter by Sequences, Videos, or all items, and combine search attributes to narrow results.
Batch renaming. Replace text strings across all matching items at once. You can target all items in the project or just the currently selected ones. Works for both project panel items and clips on the timeline.
Restore original file names. For locally linked files (video, audio, images), you can revert the clip name in Premiere back to the original filename on disk. Useful when clips have been renamed inside the project but you need them to match their source files again.
Prefix, suffix, and date stamping. Add any prefix or suffix to item names in bulk. You can also append the current date and time automatically, which helps with versioning sequences or organizing dailies.
Timeline renaming. Rename clips directly in the active sequence, either all clips or just a selection. This works independently from the project panel renaming, so you can maintain different names in the timeline vs. the bin.
Label-based sorting. Change label colors for found or selected items and move them into a bin. This only applies to the project panel, not the timeline.
Who It’s For
Editors working on long-form projects, documentary work, or anything with large amounts of footage will get the most out of this. It’s also useful for assistants who need to conform project panel naming to a client’s naming convention quickly.
