[00:00] Uh hello guys uh welcome to this video.
[00:02] So in this video I will show you uh a
[00:05] ffmpg batch processing script which will
[00:08] actually rename all
[00:11] your files with a glob or a pattern. So
[00:15] let's suppose I have this uh rename.bat
[00:18] file right here. So it's a batch
[00:20] processing script. It will basically
[00:22] rename all the files which are present
[00:24] in this directory right here. You will
[00:26] see with a pattern. So you will see we
[00:28] have all these image files which are
[00:30] present. So I just want to rename this
[00:32] to a simple glob or a pattern like this
[00:35] which is image 01 image
[00:40] 02. This pattern if you see this pattern
[00:44] image 01 02 03 04 so in many situations
[00:48] in FMPG you need these images in rename
[00:52] in this pattern. So I've given this
[00:55] script here in the description of this
[00:56] video. So once you execute the script uh
[01:00] let me just show you. So just need to
[01:04] open this file. So it will automatically
[01:07] rename every file in this directory. So
[01:10] as soon as you do this you will
[01:13] see the rename will complete here. You
[01:16] will
[01:18] see. So it has actually renamed every
[01:21] file with a glob or pattern. It's a very
[01:24] useful FMPPG batch processing script
[01:28] guys. I've given the script in the
[01:30] description of the video. So it will
[01:31] actually rename every file with this
[01:34] pattern. You will see
[01:40] that. So let me guide through the script
[01:44] here. It's a bat processing script. So
[01:46] first of all we do this and we set count
[01:50] is equal to one and then we loop through
[01:54] basically providing the extension it can
[01:56] be either JPG or PNG image and then we
[01:59] actually rename this to this
[02:02] pattern. You can change this pattern
[02:04] once you get the script you can modify
[02:06] this as well to whichever pattern or
[02:08] glob pattern that you want to rename
[02:10] your files. After that it displays the
[02:13] message rename complete and pause. So
[02:16] this is a simple image processing bat
[02:18] processing script which does this rename
[02:22] task uh bulk. Thank you very much for
