VizScanner: 00000 is Best
========================================================================
SMART NAMING CONVENTION GUIDE
To get the absolute most out of VizScanner, every file should be manually reviewed initially and named using our specific naming system.
While this requires a crucial initial step of manual review, it is the secret to lightning-fast data retrieval and filtering at a later stage.
VizScanner reads these filenames and automatically builds your dashboard filters based on them.
THE STRUCTURE
Separate each category with an underscore (_).
Example: Quality_Classification_Age_Ethnicity_BodyType_CustomTags.mp4
Here is the exact breakdown of the categories in order:
- QUALITY (Ratings)
Placed at the very front of the filename to easily sort by best-of.
- 0 = Worst / Unrated
- 00 = 2 Stars
- 000 = 3 Stars
- 0000 = 4 Stars
- 00000 = 5 Stars (The Best)
- CLASSIFICATION (Category)
Who or what is the main focus of the video?
- (Leave Blank) = Female (This is the standard/default, no tag needed)
- male = Male focus
- group = Group / Three or more crowd
- landscape = Scenery / B-Roll
- AGE The approximate age of the main subject.
- age18s, age20s, age30s, age40s, age50s, age60s, age70s, etc.
- ETHNICITY & PREFERENCE
The ethnicity of the subject, followed by a number (1 or 2) to indicate your preference/quality of the reference (1 is preferred over 2).
- cau1 / cau2 = Caucasian
- azn1 / azn2 = Asian
- lat1 / lat2 = Latin
- blk1 / blk2 = Black
- mid1 / mid2 = Middle Eastern
- mix1/2 = Mixed Race
- BODY TYPE
The physical build of the subject.
- bodyN = Normal
- bodyT = Thin
- bodyC = Chubby
- bodyV = Voluptuous
- bodyA = Athletic (Muscular, toned, etc.)
- bodyBH = Bottom Heavy
- CUSTOM TAGS & SCENE INFO
After the main categories, add any specific descriptors, camera angles, or studio names. VizScanner will turn these into searchable tags.
- e.g., povD, handheld, studioName, dancing, closeup
EXAMPLES IN ACTION
Example 1: A highly-rated video of a thin, 20-something Caucasian female dancing in a studio.
Filename: 0000_age20s_cau1_bodyT_dancing_studio.mp4
(Notice there is no classification tag because Female is the default).
Example 2: An average-rated video of an athletic 30-something Asian male working out.
Filename: 000_male_age30s_azn2_bodyA_workout_gym.mp4
Example 3: A top-tier group video featuring a voluptuous Latin actress in her 40s.
