  • Compressor Batch Export – Length Issue

    Posted by Adam Clements on March 12, 2011 at 12:13 pm

    Hi all,

    I have a problem with a batch export of sequences to Compressor. I have 50 sequences all different lengths, I select all and send to compressor as separate sources. I check in the preview window that they are showing the full video to the correct end points. Then I apply the settings and destination I want to all, and export.

    When I review them afterwards, they are all 3m 02s – this is the correct length for the first sequence, but the other 49 are all different, except it’s only given me 3.02 for all of them! Ones which are longer cut off, and ones which are shorter have black video at the end up until 3.02.

    I’m really stuck with this and on a tight deadline – and each time I set off these exports takes a lot of time only to be wrong and put us a couple of days behind, of course, so I’d love to sort it out!!!

    Many thanks,

    Adam Clements

    Do a batch export of your sequences and take the exported files to Compressor.

    All the best,

    Tom
