Being able to put all your multirecorder files into one folder is great. Being able to customize the naming convention of the individual files would be even better. Being able to tie part of the custom prefix to a GT title field such as a custom slate driven by a data source would be fantastic.

I have a slate GT title that goes on the head of my program record for studio shoots. It has client information, current time, name of segment and take number. It's driven off a spreadsheet so I build my slate on the sheet, then just increment it using companion [next row or last row]. That way, I have a verified slate for the editor to refer to.

If the custom file name function in multicorder could give you a few fields that you could tie to a data source, the way you can with GT titles, then all your files would be named in sync with the slate and save the tedious step at the end of a long recording day of making sure your editor has an easy way of conforming all your files to a multi-edit, etc. I've been using a bulk renamer after the fact, but this opens the work flow up to human error and tune waste as the editor digs through a pile of footage with just time and date stamps. Custom renaming of the individual sources would be helpful here too, as "wide angle" might be a more descriptive way to name files than "output 1", for instance.

At the end of a long day of shooting, I might have 50 takes with six or seven records per take, so being able to automate the naming convention before the fact would be a huge win for me, and probably other users.

I will look for the posts regarding doing this after the fact. Thanks for the referral.
