Batch Export to Powerpoint?
Hello,
I'm in a bind, I have to take about 500 .pdf files and export them into Powerpoint.
I know how to 'Export File To: Powerpoint Presentation' but I want to create a Batch command to export all of my PDF files to Powerpoint.
But this option isn't under the Action Wizard.... All other 'Export To' options seem to be there but I can't find Export To Powerpoint.
Thanks for the help, I really don't want to manually export 500 files. If you have any suggestions, even Automator scripts etc. I'm at a loss.
Add a Save command, and then edit it, and you'll see it there. It looks like this:

How do i change the size of a clip using batch export?
hi, when i try and do a batch export to change my clips from a DV PAL to PhotoJpeg 320*240 sized clips the "options" button is greyed out. so all i have as export settings are the QT presets in a pulldown list. is there any way i can create my own setting? (and the also save that?)
thxwhat i'm seeing is that
a) selecting all files in Media Man. gives me the option to size and set codecs but not the audio off.
b) selecting all files in Batch Export allows me to pick a format (QT, aiff etc) choose a preset (photoJpeg included) select whether to include audio and video or both but not set the size or customize the QT settings
c) selecting all clips then "file>export>using QT conversion" gives me all options, but seem to grab only the first clip. -
Is there a way to select multiple sequences and batch export them using the same settings in CS6?
I am a current Final Cut Pro7 user and looking to switch over to Premiere Pro CS6. We edit approx. 100 short (15 sec.) videos daily, and then select them all at the end of the day and batch export them over night using the same export recipe for all. I have having trouble finding an easy way to do this in Premiere pro CS6, as command +E is grayed out if i select more than one sequence at a time.
so far, it appears that i have to select each video individually and manually set encoding recipe and export location for each.... Not only would this be terribly time consuming, but it leaves a lot of room for error and missed videos. I thought i would be able to send all of the sequences to Adobe Media Encoder, but i dont see that option either.
Any suggestions/
thanks!Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time. -
Error when changing the color of the dashboard and exporting to PowerPoint
Dear All,
I have been facing an issue with exporting my dashboard to PowerPoint.
I did a first version of the dashboard, exported to PowerPoint and sent to a client. All worked fine and the client could open and customize the dashboard. After that, I was asked to change the color of all lines and backgrounds of the dashboard, so that it would fit the product colors we are working with.
After this color change, the client cannot open the PowerPoint with the dashboard anymore because an error message appears saying that "Microsoft PowerPoint has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Some more details about the error are: AppName: powerpnt.exe; AppVer: 10.0.6842.0; ModName: ntdll.dll; ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180; Offset: 00010f29.
Any thoughts about what might be happening?
I'm working with Office 2007 and Xcelsius 2008 but I'm saving the ppt in the previous version because the client is working with Office 2003.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
VanessaIf you have the clip in your viewer window
to change the speed it is in themotion tab.
I also use the right click alot and run in to this problem.
You could just pull the clip to the end of your timeline,
adjust the speed,
then place the clip back where you want it.
But that is not an efficent work flow

No Method of Batch Export for Clips with Alpha Channels?
Good morning,
As many a flustered editor has eventually discovered, in order for FCP to export sequences with alpha channels to a 32-bit format, the timeline has to be un-rendered at the time of export, or else the transparent parts will appear black in the outputted file. This sort-of makes sense if you know how FCP and render files work, but in a perfect world I think I'd have designed the export interface a bit differently. Now that I think about it, I'm actually working in an Animation (Millions of Colors +) sequence, so converting transparent areas to black makes no logical sense at all.
Anyway, I have several sequences that I would like to export as 32-bit TGA QuickTime files, preserving their transparency. If I Export Using Compressor, the process results in pre-rendering of the sequence, turning the transparent areas black. The same problem occurs if I export QuickTime reference movies from FCP and open them directly with Compressor.
Does anyone know of a way to avoid this silly phenomenon or am I stuck individually exporting each sequence from FCP, one...at.......a................time?
Thanks,
ZapThanks, Andy, "Batch Export" eventually did the trick!
I forgot about that tool because I've never actually had to use it before! After playing around with it for a while, I found that as long as the sequence settings for each sequence in the batch are set to a codec with an activated alpha channel, it works just fine.
Thanks again,

Action batch export issue with image trace
So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all. -
Problem in Batch Export Report
Hi all,
I have developed a report in PP module for Batch exports.
Here iam providing the input as plant, material no & batch and the output will be Orderwise material no, batch, mat desc, density and Quantity.
While executing the report the output is coming exactly for the first order while for the second order the values are not fetching correctly.
Pls suggest me.

I haven't checked the code but from the symptom you describe it could be possible that some fields used to calculate valeus are not getting cleared between calculations. This could result in some values from order the first order one being used in the calculation for values in the second order.

Using BATCH-EXPORT on subclips vs MM to create independent media files
I've been capturing full HDV tapes with the DV Start/Stop Detection turned on and everything has worked just fine - until now. I'm now encountering a problem w FCP "Searching for Media" on roughly 25% of my clips DURING capture, and in the process, losing about 5 seconds at the start of the clip. I've been having lots of problems w my G5 over the last couple months and it's been acting quite slow and I imagine this is related to that.
So... after a full 2 days trying to get Media Manager to create independent media files from my subclips (after capturing a twenty minute chunk whole, then breaking it down), following the FCP manual volume II pg 42 to a tee... I concur w many others on this site that Media Manager *****! No matter what I did, it would not produce new files out of my subclips and instead kept giving me the same error: "Reconnect Media Failed. The clip such-and-such was unable to be reconnected to the trimmed file due to a mismatch of the media present in the file... yada yada." Yes, I shortened the end of the first subclip by a couple frames, and I also had another subclip to delete, and I tried going straight from the bin, then from the timeline, then after making all clips independent in the timeline... nothing!
Then I discovered BATCH EXPORT.
Using it, I exported my HDV subclips using Quicktime Movie, Self-Contained, HDV 30, audio and video. It processed 20 minutes of subclips in just a few minutes so I'm fairly confident that no real 'processing' occurred.
Can someone verify for me though that this is a safe procedure and that I am not re-processing HDV files with more HDV nonsense? Before continuing, I would just like to know for sure that Batch Export produces exactly the same result with subclips then if I were to simply capture one clip at a time.
Thanks a bunch,
ChrisI can confirm that it does not merge audio tracks. Track 1 and 2 remain the same. In fact everything appears as it would if I were to capture direct, I just want someone who knows better to validate this!
Also, has anyone else experienced the slowdown during log & capture that I described, with the intermittent message "searching for media"? -
Can you batch export in FCP X, can you batch export in FCP X
I work for a business and am constantly working on projects that have multiple, separate projects within the same project. because of this I do all my editing during my business day and then when I leave for the day, I used to batch export the projects and the next morning I would come into work and be able to move onto the next thing. so far in FCP X I have not been able to find out how to do that. I know that in FCP 7 you could do it obviously, but I'm wondering...does FCP X have that same capability because I can't seem to find it and I don't really have the time to waste by exporting during the day.
Thanks for your help,
ScottyHey Scotty,
Andynick is correct about the batch export workaround. The way I do it is this:
1. Go to the Project Library
2. Select the first project you want to export
3. Go to file>Send to Compressor. (I set a shortcut -Sift>Option>C from preferences, If you need help with that let me know.
4. Repeat this process for each project
5. Go to Compressor (it will already be open)
6. Now here's where it gets kind of anoying, You need to choose which batch you want to make your main one. Pull off the tab on top and drag that project into your prefered batch, then close the old tab. Now you'll have two projects in your chosen batch.
7. repeat that process for the rest of the batches Compressor created. When you're done you should only have one batch open with all of your projects in it.
8. Submit the batch and let Compressor do it's thang.
Things to note:
When you send a project to compressor, it will automatically choose your default settings and location. If you want them to be different you'll have to do it mannually or change your defaults before you begin this process.
FUN right! Hopefully Apple will fix this so you can at least select multiple projects in the Project Library to make it a bit easier.
If anyone has a better workflow I am all ears! -
Script to batch export multiple Books (.indb) to PDF
I have multiple InDesign Book files that I would like to batch export to PDFs, respectively. (Not looking to combine multiple books into a single PDF. Just a 1 to 1 PDF export for each Book file.)
In googling for an answer, I found Peter Kahrel's script for doing just this for other InDesign files, but it does not work for Books. http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/batch_convert.html
Does anyone know of a solution (paid or otherwise) for this process? Opening up each Book and exporting to PDF from the ID menu takes quite a bit of time when doing this for several dozen files.
Looking forward to any discussion to come up with a solution if one can be found... Mr. Kahrel's javascript file is a binary js file, so it can't be modified as is, and other solutions I've found around the web don't clearly state that they work with Book files or not.try below code
before run script close all indb file
var fileFilters = "InDesign:*.indb*";
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("choose Folder", fileFilters, false);
var files = myFolder.getFiles("*.indb");
for(i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
var theDocument = app.open(File(files[i]), true);
with ( theDocument ) {
alert ( theDocument.name)
exportPdf(theDocument)
function exportPdf(theDocument)
myFilePath = myFolder + "/" + theDocument.name + "_" + ".pdf";
myFile = new File(myFilePath);
theDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, myFile, false, app.pdfExportPresets.item('[Smallest File Size]'));
theDocument.close(SaveOptions.no) -
InDesign Conditional text batch export with TOC update
Hello Everyone,
I'm just getting into the scripting, so bear with me please.
I have an indesign document with several conditional text variations and a generated Table Of Contents. I've found -hans-'s batch exporting script which works perfectly, BUT, in my document there are conditional headings too, which have their impact on the TOC of course and sadly indesign's toc update is not live. So all I need, is add a line (or 2) in the script that selects and updates the TOC for me before exporting each PDF. I've tried labeling the TOC text frame (with script label) and invoke a menu action on it, but I think I didn't get the Syntax right. I guess for someone experienced this is a really simple task.
Here is -hans-'s Conditional text batch exporting script:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4764443
thanks for your help!
wood1yHi,
Thank you for your answer. This is my syntax so far. All I did to -hans-'s script was, I tried to create a variable with a text frame that has the "TOC" label, select it with a .select action (found it on a forum) that doesn't work, and tried to invoke the update toc with app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(71442).invoke(); which doesn't work either. So yes, as I told you, I'm a beginner.
var nameOfThePDFExportPresetYouWantToUse = 'DiscManual' //please don't forget to set!
var currDoc = app.activeDocument;
var currFilePath = currDoc.filePath.absoluteURI + '/';
var currFileName = currDoc.name.replace(/.indd/, '');
var currConditions = currDoc.conditions;
var myTOC = currDoc.textFrames.item("TOC")
//set all conditions visible to false
currConditions.everyItem().visible = false;
l = currConditions.length;
//cycle thru conditions
while(l--){
currCondition = currConditions[l];
//set actual condition visible to true
currCondition.visible = true;
currConditionName = currCondition.name
//select TOC
myTOC.select();
//update TOC
app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(71442).invoke();
//set pdfName
var exportTo = File(currFilePath + currFileName + '_' + currConditionName +'.pdf');
//Have a look here:
//export PDF. to choose backgroundexport. use the second line of code
//currDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, exportTo,false, nameOfThePDFExportPresetYouWantToUse);
currDoc.asynchronousExportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, exportTo,false, nameOfThePDFExportPresetYouWantToUse);
//set actual condition visible to false
currCondition.visible = false; -
Batch Exporting File Naming Issue
I have to batch export about 30 images at a time, but I am having an issue now that the "Export" piece of the action includes a specific file name in the "save in" property, where as it's supposed to only include the name of the containing folder. This causes all the images included in the batch to be saved with the same file name thus saving over the previous export each time. I cannot figure out how to execute the Save for Web and devices action without it recording the specific file name.
My process is:
- Open one image
- Create a new Action (it begins recording)
- Crop the image
- Save for Web and devices (I leave the file name as is, but save it to a different folder) Ex. "annoying_child_screaming.jpeg"
- Close without saving
- Stop the action
- File > Automate > Batch
- I select the source folder with all the original photos
- Specify a Destination folder (a different folder where all the cropped ones will be)
- I don't select any checkboxes
- File Naming: I leave the default "Document Name" + "extension" Starting serial#: 1
When I hit okay, I can see Photoshop going through each image and doing the specified actions, but instead of preserving the original file name, it saves each one with the file name that I saved the first one when originally creating the action (Ex. it rewrites "annoying_child_screaming.jpeg" for each file)
I just upgraded to CS5 from CS4 (where I hadn't been having this problem). I have compared my settings to a coworker's who's computer it does work on, but we can't figure out what's wrong. The difference is in the Export details in the Actions dialog box - where it has the "IN" property, usually only a folder location is specified, but on my comp, it also specifies the file name.
Please help.When you record the save for web step use the original file name
(you noted you did that in post 1)
Is the name you used the same as the file
you opened when recording the save for web step?
Don't specify any destination in the batch dialog or the files will possibly
be overwritten and you'll see the results your seeing.
The destination is the folder you specified during the save for web step while recording the action.

Doing a batch export in LR CC doesn't keep me in same attributes screen
I just installed LR CC, and I've noticed that there seems to be a quirky little bug when exporting images. I normally like to go through my images, and narrow down to my selects with the star ratings. I'll then have my attributes show only the 3-starred images, for instance. I select just those 3-starred images that I'm now seeing and do a batch export to PSD files. However, once the export starts and once that first PSD file is created, I am automatically kicked back to the library view of ALL of my images, not just the 3-starred rating ones. I just find this to be an inconvenience as I can no longer make attribute selections stick during an export since I'm constantly kicked back to the view of ALL of my images. This happens in any kind of export situation.
**4/28/15 Edit: it appears as though it's a bug with the "add to this catalog" option that you can check in the export settings. I've been able to export things fine when this is not checked. When it's checked, the export is extremely sluggish to start and then just dumps me back into the view with all my images visible, not just my selected ones.**
Is there a setting I need to adjust here or is this a LR CC bug?
Hoping there's some way to fix this.
Thanks,
-KristineFirst: Send Apple a Feedback. This has been an issue since the first days of X and is still not corrected in Tiger, from the posts I see there. Apple needs to know it matters to you. Click on "Discussions" at the top of this page and then look at the bottom left of the list of forums that comes up
Second: You did send that Feedback, didn't you. In the same corner is the link to the Users' Tips Library. In it—you'll have to do a search—is the tip from Scott Radloff "Making Finder Views Persistant" [title may not be exact] that you want.
Briefly, Apple's overlay of X onto UNIX broke down here. The 'ownership' of the problem windows belongs to one of those greyed out users like "eppp" and "mysql" that you see under your shortname when you look at Details in a Get Info… window on a file. UNIX needs them, so you need them, but you don't need to defer to their idea of what a perfect window looks like. Not if you're willing to become "root" the superuser and tell them how-to. That's Scott's tip, and do be warned: Rootness is all-powerful, and you must use those powers only for good and immediately renounce them when your task is done.
Now, what were you going to do first? Good luck. -
When doing a batch export I receive a message:
"Batch Export Filename Error
The output filename for this item already exists for another item in the export queue.
To continue the export, enter a new base output filename below and select ok."
I then have to assign some random file name for each or the default mattes and titles in my timeline that are all named “color,” "Title 3D." So I am naming them “color1” “color2” etc. I just went through naming a ton of them and now it is asking me the same questions again!
How can I avoid all of this?
Thanks for your help!I have 4 tracks in the timeline:
V4: Title 3D
V3: Color (it is a black matte)
V2: Video clip
A3: audio
A4: audio
The video is cut into clips and I have copied-and-pasted many instances of the title and color clips so that it continuously plays during the duration of all of the video.
I did a select all of the timeline and dragged everything to a new bin and did a batch export.
Should I be doing this another way???? It just keeps asking me to rename the filenames over and over again and never gets anywhere.
