How do I BATCH Rename 8TB of MP4 Files in one Folder on a SATA / NTFS - 12TB hard drive?
JOB: BATCH Rename 8TB of MP4 Files in a Folder on a SATA / NTFS - 12TB hard drive
Advanced Renamer 4.18.1
PC = Windows 11 Pro
Drive Name of 12TB SATA / NTFS hard drive is: MASTER-1
The Folder containing the 2,818 mp4 files on drive MASTER-1 is: 2818 MVI files to Rename
The MP4 file names in folder 2818 MVI files to Rename range from MVI_0074.mp4 to MVI_8164.mp4 with a few file names like: MVI_2333(2).mp4 “and” MVI_2333.mp4 , but the two are NOT duplicates.
I want to use the “Date modified” or “Media created” dates which are always the same. I do not want the time, just the date.
Sample INPUT of one of the 2818 mp4 file name and date: MVI_0074.mp4 11/7/2019
This is the desired OUTPUT from the above input: 2019-11-07-00-00-MVI_0074.mp4
YYYY-MM-DD-00-00-
NOTE: there MUST NOT be any DAY or MONTH that is 1 digit , I must have TWO digits for sorting.
THANKS for taking a look :-)

First, I recommend that you upgrade to version 4.19 ( https://www.advancedrenamer.com/download ) -- just so we're all singing from the same hymn book.
Then it should be as simple as:
1) Create a new "Add" method:
1 A) For the "Add" field use ]<Date Modified:yyyy-mm-dd>-00-00-[ . . . ( without the ][ )
1 B) At index: 1
1 C) All other checkboxes cleared/unchecked
Files like "MVI_2333(2).mp4", etc will process as expected. If you want additional handling for those, let us know.

Always good to know more Texicans! Just don't close the gates before I can move back. ;)
