  • Video files from multiple cameras and devices have inconsistent names
  • Thumbnail variations for A/B testing need clear identification
  • Audio tracks, b-roll, and graphics for a single video project are scattered
  • Sponsorship deliverables require organized asset packages

MP4 Naming Best Practices

Follow these proven practices to keep your mp4 files organized and findable.

  1. 1Use lowercase letters and hyphens instead of spaces — mp4-descriptive-name is more portable than "MP4 Descriptive Name"
  2. 2Include the most important identifier first — date, project name, or subject
  3. 3Be specific but concise — "sunset-beach-hawaii" beats both "photo" and "beautiful-golden-hour-sunset-reflecting-on-the-pacific-ocean-at-waikiki-beach"
  4. 4Pick a convention and stick with it across your entire library
  5. 5Let AI do the heavy lifting — manually naming files is error-prone and inconsistent
