We record a lot of family videos, especially when we travel or when the children have some event, etc. Especially the travel videos are then everything my wife records on her iPhone, everything I record on my Samsung phone and the bulk of the videos are what I record with my Sony A7C. I then get everything into one directory but then all the files have different naming conventions, so it's a bit difficult to organize into a timeline. I think all of the files have their date/time baked in into the files so it theoretically should be at least possible to rename them to be able to sort them.

But then the real work starts, going through every single clip and trimming it and putting it in order into the timeline. So I wonder if there is some tool which can help with that.

I have a sequence in 2100HLG (rec2020 color space) that I'm trying to export in hevc (h265) for submission to youtube. I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right, but youtube refuses to publish it in HDR...

Using the guidelines here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7126552#zippy=%2Cupload-requirements

I've tried several exports, but the most exact to their specs are the two following mediainfos:

Is there something glaring I'm missing?

I'm just an amateur who likes to edit videos using premiere pro, and searched around for a good controller. Specialized ones were expensive, so bought a second hand midi controller:

Behringer X-touch compact and Bome midi software .

I chose the Behringer as it has a LOT of dials (16) in addition to many buttons and sliders - generally more than the more expensive specialized video editing panels.

The Bome software has a learning curve, though once you know how to do a couple of things (dials and buttons) it's copy/paste. You can alter every dial, button and slider for any program (I was happy to see that it worked for a music program I was using without having to change anything).

I also use it for lightroom (using the lightroom midi free software).

Here's my config which is improving:

I can share the config if anyone wants it. I'm not paid by any of these companies.
