  • batch change “in point”

    Posted by Mike Johnson on June 5, 2008 at 3:06 pm

    Well, the subject pretty much sums up my question. I have several hundred clips, animated photos from AE. In AE, I started and ended the clip one second before the animation actually begins, to give me handles should I want to dissolve. Now, I can easily set the in and out point for 1.00 and -1.00 respectively one clip at a time.

    But is there a way to set the in and out for multiple clips? I would like to think I’m just missing something extremely obvious. All of these clips are going to have the exact same in and out point.

    Any help?

    never used Automator myself, but here is a link to a tutorial.
    I think it may do what you need.

    The easiest thing would be to export this as a batch list, then make your changes in Excel or a similar spread sheet, save, import the batch list into a new project & reconnect the media.
