To see how to do that and import the metadata, check out this video:

Watch what I do in the video around the 1:35 mark to the “Database Number” field. Basically, I use a formula to concatenate the extension: =A1&”.jpg” (assuming the value is in cell A1 and the extension I want to add is “.jpg”. Then I apply the forumla to all of the rows. Much easier than changing several thousand lines by hand!

The naming convention for the files dates back to film and uses an alphanumeric roll number and an underscore frame number. I can not figure a way to import the data using a “contains” the roll number and parse the same data to all the different frames

Thanks,

I am 100% real, but some have suspected me of being a cyborg sent from the future to rescue people from disorganized file servers and bloated PowerPoint files.
