The purpose of the application is to copy media files from one location to another, renaming files that do not have unique names so that they have a name that can uniquely identify them. Most cameras do not have mechanisms to give files unique names, so ReelMyFiles will create that unique name, thus creating a “Reel Name” or “Tape Name”, which can be safely used to create proxies and future relink of the proxy media to the original media.

As the application can use file checksums to guarantee the reliability of the copy, its use as a copy tool, even without using its renaming function, is recommended to guarantee error-free copies. On the other hand, using checksums makes copying slower.
