When uploading to the platform, it's important to make sure your videos follow the correct naming convention. This will enable the system to distinguish the footage from each camera being uploaded to the session. ​

If you are using the batch upload feature in the platform, you will be required to rename your shoot files into a specific format. This can be done by using the File Management System software, which will be provided to you. ​

You can download the tool from this <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SQIRcUEs1SAtXTp6sZW3mju6xRfaFfKW/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">link</a> (Supported on Windows only)

Before running the application, you need to make sure that the following steps have been taken.

All files have been separated into individual folders with respect to the camera they were recorded on; cam01, cam02, cam03 and so on. This naming convention is essential.

Each camera folder contains the same amount of files (so you know each file matches across the different camera folders)

A .txt file should be created, containing the names of each take in the same order as they appear in the camera folder. 

1. Calibration_01
2. Running_01
3. Jumping_01
4. Jumping_02

The .txt file should be named take_names.txt and should be located in the parent folder where the camera folders are located, for example;

1. Test_Shoot_Footage
   1. Cam01
   2. Cam02
   3. Cam03
   4. Cam04
   5. take_names.txt
