File naming conventions for various video cameras?
September 20, 2024 12:36 PM Subscribe
I am starting a project which involves searching for videos on the net titled only with the default name of the video file. For examples, a video on YT or wherever titled, "DSC_0013"; or "IMG2417"; or "DJI_8034". I haven't found a comprehensive source—only piecemeal lists like what's in this Reddit thread—which is helpful, but seems like it could be beefed up. So, how does your brand of video camera/phone/etc name the files that land in its main storage directory? Thanks_0001!
Best answer: GoPro (or, at least the one I have) uses Gnnnnnnn.JPG for still images but somehow seems to start at G0010001.JPG. Videos start at GX010001.MP4.
