batch render to file?

Posted by Alex_klement on February 2, 2007 at 12:39 am

Hi all,

I have about 20 premiere projects (many more to come) that I would like to render to files overnight. Instead of hand-holding the whole process, I was wondering if there was a way to get premiere pro to render the whole lot in sequence, in some kind of automatic function. I suppose I’m aiming for something like how virtualdub handles batch processing. I’m new to premiere so please excuse if this is a dumb question. I can script fine if need be as am a coder by trade. I am also willing to pay some cash for a plugin if I have to as this will save me a LOT of time. I will be using the clips I produce for video installation work if anyone is interested.

Thanks in advance for your help

Alex

I used the above to successfully export PPro 1.5 projects but it didn’t work
for my 2.0 projects. I haven’t taken the time to use AutoHotKeys itself
to write my own script yet for 2.0, but it should be possible. One limitation
of that 1.5 script is that you only get the ‘default’ render which is a
Microsoft AVI, DV codec with audio. I want to try writing scripts with
different options on export- which it would appear you could do, but I’m not
a programmer so I haven’t taken the time to fumble through the readme to
figure out all the commands to do that. Maybe someday…. PPro isn’t my
everyday editor, but batch export is something I use fairly regularly
with FCP and can’t when I do use PPro, so I feel your pain.

Maybe someday too, PPro will have it’s own batch export function. Please
submit a feature request to Adobe and ask for it if it’s important to you.

Yeah I’m currently looking at sorting the script for myself. I’ll post it up here if I have any luck.

I’ll ask adobe about the feature request, I simply took it as a given that the app would support batch export – who doesn’t these days??!

For now though, I’m exporting by hand all my clips.

Thanks anyhoo.
