Naming convention not working on video files.
When logged into the web (Firefox as the browser), I set a naming convention for a folder so that it lists the Date Captured, then lists the time from the metadata: YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM. When I did this, it worked for all of the photos I added in, but it didn't work on the videos at all no matter what I tried. Is this not working because it's the date "Captured", which doesn't really apply for video files? I don't want to use the "Date Uploaded", since that could mess up my own file organization, but I'm not sure what to do here.

Hey @rxpst32, let's jump into this!
Would you mind sending me a couple of screenshots, in order for me to have a visual too?
Also, what is the file type of your videos?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
I covered the thumbnails and photos, that's what the black rectangles are. As for the videos, they've been uploaded as MOV files. The photos have followed the naming convention, so I'm not worried about them. It's the videos that are not following the convention.

Hey @rxpst32, thanks for the added info!
Does this happen when you try with a different browser, in a different folder too? Can you give it a go?
