Batch Export Multiple Sequences

[Ann Bens]

Try it the other way around.
Add Premiere Pro Sequence to the Media Encoder.
Or have a look at watch folders.

Thanks. Yes, I already tried that and it seems to rename all the files it outputs after the project name instead of the sequence name. Unfortunately, all the 100+ sequences, and subsequent output files have very strict naming conventions. So unless someone knows a way of preserving those names when importing a PPro project into AME I will just export each one by hand, which isn’t the end of the world.

In PPro,

can you multi-select Sequences in the project panel
File>Export AME
then CHoose Send to Queue?

Just a guess….I’m not in front of it….

Shawn I just did this the other day with 18 sequences and it worked fine.

I just opened up AME and went File/Add Premiere Pro Sequence and they all came in with the correct name and were automatically outputted to my default folder I have selected in the preferences.

Then it was just a matter of highlighting them all and changing the codec format to the preset I had already made.

Is this really not working for you?

Hi Alex,

I think what is wanted here is to bypass having to open PPro at all and just use AME to import the Sequences. There is an inconsistent workflow when doing this whereby the sequence name is not used as the filename, but rather the project name for all sequences within that project.

It is not so much a “bug” as not consistent with expected workflow. I am sure it will be resolved in upcoming versions, but currently with 5.5 the issue remains.

The only way to work with sequence names as default filenames is as you point out – exporting from PPro.

Shawn sorry my bad. I posted too hastily.

Yes this is something that they have fixed in 5.5. I just realised you were on 5.

5 imports all sequences as the project name plus an increment whereas 5.5 will import all sequences with their discreet name intact.

Is this enough of a reason to upgrade?

Jon are you sure about this?

Seriously I did this yesterday without opening PPro at all, using AME 5.5.

[Shawn Lloyd]

Thanks for all the responses guys. Yes, between that and the warp stabilizer I do think I’ll upgrade. One other cool thing… their team actually wrote me back after I requested this feature through there official “feature request” page (not knowing it was in 5.5). I don’t know how many features and ideas I mentioned to the Apple FCP guys over the years and never received so much as a peep. It’s the little things right? Very cool of Adobe, I thought.

Hi Alex,

My apologies you are correct, it has been fixed in CS5.5

So when I open up the project in AME I see the projects all named correctly however I have tried every keyboard shortcut I can think to select multiple sequences but am only able to add 1 at a time. This isn’t much help if I have to reopen the project and select each sequence individually. I am sure I am doing something wrong here but could really use the help.
