How do I batch convert .ai to .jpg or .png in Bridge CC 2014?

I have found where you could "Export" them out in older versions of Bridge but no "Export" function exist in CC 2014.

You could do it like this: http://www.santoshgs.com/blog/189/how-to-batch-convert-png-to-jpeg-using-photoshop-cs2/
But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:
folder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Simple jpg to png batch.
Photoshop: over six minutes.
IrfanView: one minute and 40 seconds.
That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. It's too slow.
Another issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required. This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.
Btw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download @ http://www.irfanview.com/
The batch processing you can find under File-->Batch Conversion <b>
ImageMagick is also free and open source. It is a command line tool, and easy to use for conversions.Will also work on a mac. But it is much slower than IrfanView, a tad faster than PS.

  • How do I batch convert separate avi files in Premiere Elements 11 to separate mp4 files

    How do I batch convert separate avi files to separate mp4 files

    For batch conversions, I use DigitalMedia Converter by Deskshare. My version is an older one (2.7), and there is a newer version, in two flavors, "regular" and "pro." I do not recall what limit on number of files is, but have had about 10 in the conversion queue. The newer version, and especially the Pro version, has probably expanded the number of files in the queue, but I could not quickly find what that max number is. While not opensource freeware, my copy was only about US$40. I was so impressed, that I bought two licenses - one for each of my editing computers. I have been meaning to upgrade to the new Pro version, but as old 2.7 works for what I need to do, just have not gotten around to it.
    Now, Premiere Pro can do batch conversions too, through the AME (Adobe Media Encoder), but that would be a much, much more expensive solution.
    I am certain that there are other conversion programs (some might also be free), that can do batch conversions, and with the H.264 CODEC for your MP4 output.
    One caveat: if your AVI files are SD (Standard Def), you will NOT be pleased if you convert to MP4 in HD (High Def), as there will be up-rezzing, and the results will not be pretty. If you need to up-rez to HD, when using SD material, you might want to look into something like Red Giant's Magic Bullet Instant HD. Many users have been impressed by its up-rezzing capabilities, though some have not.
    Also, I think that Corel's video editor has an up-rezzing capability, but have never used it, so cannot comment directly - might be great, or not so great.
    Good luck,

  • How to batch convert pdf to jpgs, crop to trim and save?

    I'm trying to figure out how to take a couple of hundred PDFs, Crop them to trim, then convert them all to JPGs using any of the adobe programs.
    In bridge I was able to Batch convert all the PDFs to JPGs but it wouldn't crop them to the trim also...
    I thought I could use the Photoshop Image Processor to batch action crop and save them again but I always get one of two errors... "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop." or "Please Specify a destination folder."
    I don't know why this is coming up since I have it selecting the folders with the JPGs that I converted in Bridge and saving to another folder..
    Does anyone know if I can do all of this at once? Or how I can somehow get this to work so that II don't have to open,crop and save for each individual file?

    Corel's WP has not / does not use anything of Adobe's to create PDFs.
    With Acrobat installed you can "file - print" WP files to the Adobe PDF virtual printer that is installed with Acrobat.
    Perhaps an OS based "batch" printer job would be possible. Something for you to look into.
    As well, if you have WP installed there may be something WP can do.
    To learn of such you'd want to visit Corel's WP customer support.
    Be well...

  • Batch converting files to JPGs

    Is there any way to batch convert your photos in iPhoto to JPGs? Or does anyone know of a plug-in that could do this?

    Jenny
    In the File -> Export dialogue you'll get the opportunity to change the files to jpeg, and it'll do as many as you ask it.

  • Batch convert Raw to jpg with EXIF data

    I would like to batch convert RAW images files to jpeg format while preserving the EXIF data.  Is there any way to do this with the built-in apps in OS X Mavericks?
    This used to be possible with Preview.app using the "Export Selected Images..." command.  However, as of Mavericks, that command does not correctly copy EXIF data for the individual images.  Instead, the EXIF data for the first image is used in all of the exported images. So Preview.app is now pretty much useless for converting batches of RAW files.
    Can anyone point me to a workaround in Preview.app, or an alternative way to do this conversion in Mavericks?
    I should add that I don't want to import all my images into iPhoto.  I prefer to use regular folders to organize my images rather than the walled library that iPhoto creates.

    I used iPhoto for many years and found it to be cumbersome and more trouble than it was worth.  It did not let me manage, organize, rate, tag, and edit my photos in any way approaching convenience. 
    Hate to say this for the 3rd time, but use Canon's "DPP" (Digital Photo Professional).
    With it you can "manage, organize, rate, tag, and edit [your] photos" as well as batch convert to jpeg or othet formats.

  • How do I batch convert a group of Quicktime movies to H.264

    I want to know the best way to batch convert movies in Quicktime Pro with H.264 compression and save as a .mov file?
    The QT Pro Player is not, in and of itself, a batch processing application. You can, however, parallel process your files easily enough. Simple open your additional source files and set up your export options for each. As each new export begings, a new progress bar will appear in your export window. If you wish true sequential batch processing, use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) as your "front end" to access the QT structure for exportation.

  • How do I stop iWeb turning my .jpgs into PNG's ??

    Hi
    No one on a PC can print out my iWeb pages because when I drag a pic into iWeb it auto makes it a PNG. (unreadable from some PC's) How can I stop this from happening so that people can print ok from my site?
    Thank you
    Jim Rhodes
    http://web.mac.com/jimpsky/iWeb/Craiganor/Craiganor.html

    Thnx Mark
    I figured iWeb might be doing this and it seems impossible to fix. Here, as always I optimize all my pics in PS for the web as jpg,s. I've noticed iWeb actually makes some of my pics bigger! after optimizing if I resize the pic in iWeb. It shouldn't do this anti optimization.
    I have another site on a different .mac account that, after growing past a point, now converts all the text to jpg so no text can be copied. http://web.mac.com/hueynrolf/iWeb/BWA/Home.html
    but still here no PNG file conversions.
    The "Craiganor" site in question, was added to an existing iWeb project (Domain) ;
    http://www.rospalmerinteriors.com/RosPalmerInteriors/news.html
    Rospalmerinteriors, published to a .com and mirror on .mac, works well. With a little tweaking i managed to prevent it from converting text to jpeg and no auto jpg to PNG conversions. The Craiganor site does convert the jpgs to PNG!
    1. Is this occurring because Craiganor is the second site ? I suspect so.
    2. Will rebuilding the site (would rather not) in its own iWeb Domain Solve this?
    2. If so and I rebuild the site with it's own Domain, separately publishing Rospalmerinteriors and Craiganor to the same .mac, will I encounter functionality problems with the .mac specific aspect ?
    Many thanks

  • How to batch convert RAW to JPG in Lightroom?

    Hi. I want to convert a large portion of my older RAW files to JPG, to free up some hard drive space. Is there a way to do that in Lightroom (or perhaps Bridge)?
    Thanks for any help.

    Export as jpg, checking add to catalog and then delete the originals. This will be a mistake. Keep your original files or you will regret it one day. If you need to save space that badly then convert the Raw files to DNG.

  • How do I batch convert many kinds of files to PDF/A

    I have thousands of files to convert to PDF/A for archival purposes. In Acrobat Pro when I convert to PDFs to PDF/A, 5/6 times there is an error that pops up. Errors are often, "Embed fonts (even if text is invisible)" or "Fix glyph width information" and the PDFs end up my error folder. 
    When I try to convert Word Docs to PDF/A, my computer (a mac) hopelessly tries to open Word over and over again, and ends up at a blank word document, and the whole process stalls.
    I've been trying to figure this out for days and am close to resigning myself to the 20 hours it will take to do each one individually on a free online PDF converter that doesn't ever have errors- which seems crazy, because what's the point of having Acrobat Pro??
    Thanks

    I'm moving to Win8.1 and I don't want to loose my manual sorting.
    Manual sorting is not meant for a permanent sort order nor is it designed to do so, when switching to a new window or other sort order you will loose the previous sort order. However there is a way to retrieve the last sort order used with a script Paul Riggott once wrote. But I'm not sure you can transport this sorting to a new system version because when you install a system from scratch you also need to recache the files for the Bridge Cache library. It might be possible to also copy the hidden file with the last sort order but that would mean a trial and error procedure.     
    Check this post, at the bottom is also a link for the site where you can get the script and how to install and use it:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4748987#4748987
    Personal I would use batch rename to keep the sort order safe. You can select all files in the content window and add a sequence number in front (with enough digits to match your number of files) of your existing filename. In this way you can easily resort your collection when your manual sorting is lost for whatever reason and also the files will have the correct sort order on your system folder also.

  • How do I batch convert wav files to mp3?

    Just wondering how I can convert a batch of wav files into mp3 files (including metadata).
    I was looking thru features in both soundbooth and bridge, but I can't find it (if it exists).
    Thanls

    Found this FREE easy to use mp3 converter called All2Lame, here:
    http://members.home.nl/w.speek/all2lame.htm
    You will also need to download LAME MP3 encoder, and copy the lame.exe & the lame_enc.dll files into the all2lame directory to get it to work:
    http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php
    The program offers a lot of command line type options, so you need to read the documentation to understand all your choices, but here's a 'quickstart' line you can put into the 'switches' line that will make highest quality stereo mp3's using variable bit rate technique:
    --vbr-new -V 0 -q 0 --resample 44.1
    If you prefer mono to save space, use this line:
    --vbr-new -V 0 -q 0 -m m --resample 44.1

  • How do I batch convert 700 sequences to .mov and .mv4 files?

    I have 700 separate sequences in FCP. Each one is 20-30 seconds long. I need to rename them and convert them to .mov files and then also .m4v files?
    Is there an easy way to batch this or do I have to do them one by one by one by one..........

    Try using the *Export Queue* (in FCP click Window > Export Queue).
    1. Once the window is open, in the Browser window, highlight the sequences you wish to export.
    2. Click and drag them into the *Export Queue* window. You should see a folder called +Batch 1+, with all your sequences.
    3. Click on the +Batch 1+ folder and press the Settings... button at the bottom of the window.
    4. Set your output destination.
    5. To export full res, the format should be *QuickTime Movie*, and the settings should be *Item Settings*.
    6. Include *Audio and Video*, or *Video Only*, depending on what you need.
    7. Check the *Make Self-Contained* check box.
    If your sequences are NTSC DV, to export .m4v you will want to use Compressor 2, so that you can fix the aspect ratio (NTSC is 720x480 while the iPod size is 640x480 or 320x240. This is the difference between square and rectangular pixels.).
    1. In the *Compressor Preset* window, find the +iPod Video+ folder, and the +iPod Video+ preset inside the folder.
    2. Click the preset and press the *Duplicate Selected Setting* button at the top of the window. A setting called +iPod Video-Copy+ should appear in your Custom folder.
    3. Click on your new setting.
    4. In the Inspector window, use the 6 buttons to change the settings to what you need.
    5. Make sure in the Encoder section, that you choose your size (640 VGA or 320 QVGA) and pick the proper aspect ratio (4:3).
    6. Save your settings.
    7. Drag the full res files you exported from FCP into the Batch window. *Select All* (Command + A).
    8. Right-click in the Setting column and choose your +iPod Video-Copy+. It will apply that setting to all your videos (it may take a while depending on how many you do at once.)
    9. Save your batch.
    10. Submit!
    For renaming, you might try an Automator script. Search the forums or Google, if you need help with that!
    Hope this helps!
