Hello. I have a little project and there's a tiny problem with it. It's probably easy to fix but I don't know what to do. Basically, I have a collection of files (726 JPEG pictures) in total of 2.27 GB and I need to order them (1, 2, 3, 4...724, 725, 726) and I don't want to do it manually, because I probably need to loop some of the images to get a good animation (Yes, I'm making an animation). Anyway, is there a way I could order them that way? :D
I did try using some character and making the files rename themselves (1 (1), 1 (2)) but sadly it conflicted with Premiere Elements, so I couldn't make it look smooth.

If you took them sequentially can't you sort them by most recent?

I took them in a different order.

Assuming they're in the desired order to begin with, try this...

Maybe this'll work on whatever version of Windows you have?

You can easily do batch-re-naming with softwares like XnView for example. Try it out, is really simple.

From what I understood this seems the best way. I use the batch rename feature from AcdSee v3.1. But any batch rename tool should do.

Yes, they are pretty similar.

Not sure about the renaming, but when I was a kid I threw everything into Windows Movie Maker (yes, I know), selected all, and changed the length to like 0.06 seconds or something.

In Premiere, you can just throw all the clips in, and ripple edit one of them to be one frame long, which is much more accurate.

you need to order them or just give each a unique ascending number?

i use speedcommander (something like explorer)
just block all files and press F11 to bulk rename

or use "renamer" or "bulk rename utility" < both free, i download from liberkey.com (for portability)
these 2 have so many option, so it might be confusing at first
