Can't rename files on my external hard-drive.

I have a Seagate Backup Plus drive hooked up to my Macbook Pro with some video files I want to rename and organize on it, but when I click a file, I cannot preview it in finder. I have to double click and open it up in Quicktime. If I click "get info" I can preview the videos and rename them, but I'd much rather do it in Finder.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
