Workflow example
Find a screen recording by what it shows
Turn a generic recording name into a searchable description. Zush renames the file in its current folder; Zush also offers optional AI folder sorting.
Screen Recording 2026-09-01 at 10.32.14.movExample new filenamecheckout-payment-error.movUse the Screen recording topics template
Open Templates in Zush, create a template named Screen recording topics, and use these instructions in its custom prompt. Save it, generate names for a small batch, and review before applying.
Name each video using a short description of the visible task or scene. Use lowercase words separated by hyphens. Use sampled frames and available subtitles; do not invent details that are not present. Avoid generic words such as video, recording, and final. Keep the original file extension.
Sampled frames can miss brief events. Subtitles may be absent. Review the suggested topic before applying names, especially for long recordings.

How it works
Find the right clip without opening every export
Use visible content to name screen recordings, camera clips, and b-roll. Keep a copy of linked editing projects before changing source filenames.
Add a few representative clips
Start with supported MP4 or MOV files. Include a screen recording and a camera clip to check both kinds of material.
Generate names from sampled context
Zush uses sampled frames and available subtitle context. Keep matching SRT or VTT files nearby when you have them.
Check the description and apply
Make sure the suggested subject matches the clip. Review names before applying and use rename history to undo a batch if needed.
file_008.mp4Example resultProduct-Demo_Batch-Rename-Preview.mp4A short scene can be missed between sampled frames. Names do not guarantee full-video understanding. Renaming source media can break links in editing projects; verify or relink those projects after a rename.
