The two prerequisites for batch processing of video data is that the videos are organized in the required nested folder structure as described in [Video Data,](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/video-data.md) and that every trial has an assigned calibration file. Therefore, the [Organize Videos](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/theia3d-dropdown-menus/tools-menu/organize-videos.md) and [Assign Calibration Files](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/theia3d-dropdown-menus/tools-menu/assign-calibration-files.md) tools are included for use in Theia3D Batch.
The File dropdown menu Open into options dialog.
The *Open into* options allow you to easily open the currently selected batch processing directory, in either Windows Explorer or the command line.

## Convert Workspaces
The Convert Workspaces tool can be used to extract the raw data ([video files](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/video-data.md) and camera system [calibration file](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/calibration-files.md)) from existing [Theia workspaces](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/data-formats/theia3d-workspaces.md). This can be used whenever the raw data used to produce the workspaces is no longer available, or if the workspaces were produced using Theia3D v2023 or earlier which are no longer compatible with current versions of Theia3D.
When using this tool, two file selection dialog windows will appear, in the following order:
1. **Workspace Directory:** Use this dialog window to select a folder containing one or more Theia workspaces to be converted to raw data.
2. **Output Raw Directory:** Use this dialog window to select an empty folder where the extracted raw data should be output.
Once the above two dialog windows have been used, Theia3D Batch will automatically convert each workspace and output the raw data in the selected folder.
The result dialog window listing Theia workspaces which were successfully converted to raw data format.

## Move C3D Files
The Move C3D Files tool can be used after completing a batch analysis to copy and move output C3D files from within the lowest-level trial folders in the '\_c3d' output folder to directly within the top-level folder of the '\_c3d' output folder. The original C3D output files located in the lowest-level trial folders will *not* be deleted.
{% hint style="info" %}
It is necessary that [Use Hierarchical Names](/axiom-v2025/theia3d-documentation/theia3d-batch/settings.md#use-hierarchical-names-1) was selected prior to batch processing for this tool to function properly, as the C3D output files must have unique names in order to be copied to this common folder.
