    Hello everyone.
    A newb to the forum, and recent FCP 7 to Premiere convert.

    Issue-
    I have to output multiple versions of the same sequence.
    The only change to each encoding instance is the filename.

    Goal-
    enter multiple filenames to output, but only encode once.

    so-
    exciting_foo sequence needs to be rendered out in say h.264 with all the same settings.
    but i need say 8 versions of this same file, but with 8 different names.
    i tried ‘duplicate’ in media encoder, and ‘add output’, but it re-encodes for each instance.

    i can find plenty of batch renaming apps, etc, but none that will duplicate and rename.

    i did search the forums for about an hour, but couldn’t find anything helpful, if i missed a thread that covers this a link to it would be great.

    Running CS6 on a Mac

    Cheers.

    Pardon if I didn’t understand the quandary, but can you not just copy the file 7 times in your output folder and give each one a unique name?
