Earns its place in the adobe_exchange library as a focused renaming utility for Premiere Pro, with recent additions like bin-skipping and XMP Dublin Core title updates aimed at assistant-editor workflows.

What is Batch and Bulk Rename Plugin?

The Batch and Bulk Rename Plugin from EditingTools.io handles renaming inside Premiere Pro projects. Select the clips or sequences you want, then rename them in a single batch rather than one at a time. It can find and replace words in source file names, add dates, and append custom text to clip names.

The tool is aimed at larger Premiere Pro productions and the needs of assistant editors, where many clips and sources need consistent naming. A Settings menu adds control over how a rename runs: you can ignore bins during renaming, and optionally update the XMP metadata Dublin Core title alongside the clip name.

Listed here as free, the plugin works with Premiere Pro 15.0 and later. Version 0.2.3 was last updated on 16 January 2024. Full licensing details are on the developer's page.
