How to view the filename of a photo/video in photo app in iphone

I have the following problem:


I have several videos synchronized to my iphone 6+ using itunes or transferred by airdrop; and because the first frames are in black they all have the same thumbnail. Is there a way to view the filename in photos app so I know which one should I play?


Thanks,

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 11.2.6

Photos does not reveal the filenames. For photos you can use photo editing extensions like viewexif or metapho, but I Do not know, if there are similar extensions for videos.

It would be better to edit the videos on your computer to add a title frame, so the thumbnails will not be black. Or trim them on the iPhone.
