punctuation in reel names?

[Margus Voll]

Yepp.

Just put the same characters that you need to change.

space dot space > chances to > space

For me it works well.

If you need i can make screen capture of it.

But that would change both instances of it in the filename which I don’t want to do. If my file is called
“01. best shot ever (p. 1).mov” it would remove both dot-spaces and my clip wouldn’t match my edl.

Also if there wasn’t a space and I needed to get rid of the dot wouldn’t automator also remove the dot before the extension?

Yes if you have identical dots so to say.

You could change edl afterwards if needed.

Lets say you have 01. best shot ever .mov

and in replace condition you put

01. best > 01 best

or
. best > “space”+best

That should do it

just select base name only for the condition

Should be simple
