Hi All, This is my first post.

I have a folder full of quicktimes. the names of the Quicktime files are like this
MVI_0001
MVI_0002
MVI_0003
MVI_0004
etc..

I need to have a way to use automator to :
look at the list of files, and create a folder for each of the files
name the folder the same name as the file,
MOVE the file into the folder of the same name.

so that the simple final heirarchy would be
MVI_0001
       |_MVI_0001

MVI_0002
       |_MVI_0002

MVI_0003
       |_MVI_0003




thats it.

I need this to work on hundreds of files, of just a few.

PLease Help im a newbie at Automator and scripting.
