  Action or Script for AE Video Export?

  Posted by Sebastian Kay on January 3, 2014 at 10:45 am

  Hey everyone,

  hope you guys had a good start into the new year.

  I have a question on how to automate a specific task in After Effects. Or maybe there is another third party program or plugin or something that does the job.

  Here is what I wanna do:

  I have a source video file that is approximately 5 minutes long.
  Into that source video I need to add 2 other video clips.

  For example: On my 5min timeline I need to add a 1 min clip at 2:30mins and another 1min clip at 4:30mins. And then export this as a single clip.

  The reason for that is I have hundreds of these 1min clips that need to be added to the 5min source video at those two specific times and need to be exported as a whole clip. So this action or script has to be repeated a hundred times and that would be a huge he time saver compared to editing everything by hand.
  There would be no transition needed … just a simple cut.

  Does that make sense?

  Is there anyone who could help me with that?
  Any ideas or suggestions?

  If this is a realistic task, please let me know what budget I have to calculate for creating such a script for AE.
  
  Thanks a lot in advance.
  – Sebastian
