Batch Convert

[Jason Byfield]

You didn’t say what version of AE you are using so I’ll be somewhat vague:

Import the clips you want to convert. Select them all and drag them to the “make comp” button. Select individual comps and check the box that says “add to render queue”. Make your settings changes and pick a save location for each file. Click “render”.

If you want the same renders settings and save location for each video, go into the output module and make whatever compression settings you want the files to have the default. Drag one file onto the “make comp” button and then add it to the render queue. It should automatically have your custom compression settings applied as default. Pick a location to save the file then grab the rest of the files and drag them to the “make comp” button. Select individual comps and click the “add to render queue” button. All the files will show up in the render queue with the compression settings you specified AND in the same output location you specified for the first file. TIME SAVED.
