How to make PPRO 2.0 rename files to new source name
I am initially working with with files from a firestore, then renaming them after I delete the unwanted files. When I rename them, Premiere asks where the file went, I tell it, its ok. However it doesn`t rename the file in premiere or on the timeline. Thats making it very confusing, and very time consuming to have to rename the file 3 times (the actual file, premiere project window, premiere timeline) Is there a way to make it update them to the name of the source file?

Have you tried using Project Manager instead?
There is an option that will automatically rename the files to match the clip names, and remove unused files in the process; I think you are actually trying to do the opposite of that, but I’m not sure what your goal is in that workflow.Vince

😮 you bring tears of joy to my dark little world. As odd as it may be, I neevr knew of the project manager or what it did….I was fdoing everything manually *cry* This is a blessing. One question, if i make a trimmed project does it duplicate the footage file only saving the used areas? Or does it just reference the in and out points of the same longer clip?

Actually, it keeps all the used clips untouched, and removes unused clips, or pictures, etc.
So, it doesn’t cut anything. It then moves everything in a single folder, ready for archiving.
Cheers,

What I meant to say is that it “copies” everything to a new folder. I would open it once to make sure it all works, but after that, you can probably lose the original folder (other than maybe keeping the auto-saved projects).
