Batch export possible?

first a little backstory - my band recorded all of our songs at a real studio - we did all the instruments live going to 2" tape on a studer A-80 (for those of you who care). i took rough mixes home, and i have recorded all of my vocals in garageband to that mix for every song. i now have around 5-6 takes for all 6 songs we recorded, and i want to export every single vocal track separately so we can bring them back to the studio we recorded at, and mix them properly. does anyone know of a way to batch export every single track separately, rather than mute each one i want and export one at a time? i'm wondering if automator might be able to help?
thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone may have.

Thanks for the quick response, Jim. I need the splash images to match the videos they came from, which are going to be all different sizes, so I don't think batch resizing will work.
Do you know of any other software that can do this? This may not be the place to ask that, but I wouldn't know where else to start.
Thanks,
Calvin

Tricky Batch Export - Possible?

I have roughly 750 short videos that I need to create splash images for. I need a PNG of the first frame of each video and here's the catch... There is no consistent size to the videos, but the splash image needs to be the same size as the video it relates to. The images all need to hold this naming scheme as well... "videoname_splash"
Does anyone know if there is a way to automate this process so that I don't have to go through each one individually? I'm assuming there's not a way to automate all of this, but wanted to look into it before I spend hours going through it.
Thanks,
Calvin

Batch Export now possible?

I read in an old thread, that it was not possible, but how about in ver. 10.1.+?
I am testing ver. 10.1.2 now and for me it would be very important.
My workflow in FCP 7.3 is:
I put many individual clips in the timeline, color correct them all via copy/paste them and create a batch list and export all the clips in the batch folder individual with their original filename.
That means, I can do something else or even have it run over night if there are many.
This is the only way I handle high volume of clips.
I know in the early ver. 10.0. xxx it was not possible.
Hopefully, Apple added this option.
Thanks

You can queue up multiple projects and/or clips during the export process. In other words, you can export one project and then another, without waiting for the prior project to complete.
What you can't do is select multiple projects and then hit the Share button and get multiple output files.
Compressor will, of course, process batches; it's a primary reason for having the program. But you cannot select multiple files in FCP and send to Compressor.
Here is a tutorial that illustrates a kind of faux batch export process.

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.

Hello,
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.

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.

Batch export as jpg 300 dpi

I've 2,000 fla files published as swf and jpg (72 dpi).
I now want 2,000 high quality jpg 300 dpi files. Instead of exporting each file individually, is it possible to batch export all fla files in a directory? I found an actionscript plus php file on the internet but unfortunately it generated an error message instead of jpg files.

No use Moccamaximum, that Link PUBLISHES and uses existing parameters. Publishing a jpg always uses 72dpi so if the original publish settings for a filehad jpg selected, I'd get the same file as publshed previously. I want to EXPORT th fla as a jpg at higher resolution (300dpi), I can open each fla individually and export at 300 dpi but it would be far easier if I could put the 2,000 files in a directory and export with a single click.

How to Batch Export Wide Still images

Hello,
I'm currently working on a project that uses Widescreen. I have no problems exporting the movie project to DVDstudio pro file, but when I try to Batch Export the Still Clips I took, it makes it into 4:3 size, rather than 16:9. Because of this, pictures look squished. How would I fix this since I didn't see any options in Batch Export for wide.
I'm using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4

As mentioned above, that is a possibility. You haven't said how you plan to use them. If quality is paramount I would advise against doing a "destructive" stretch on them unless you're moving them to a final definitive size as in web graphics. There's little enough resolution in SD video to start with.
If you're using them in the print world they will fare much better if they are stretched within the production app. Just ignore the aspect ratio and tell it they're an inch by 9/16ths, or 16x9 cm, or whatever system you're working with.
If you dig around in Photoshop, they have a system to identify and deal with with NTSC tall pixels, perhaps they have one for anamorphic as well. More confusing than helpful to me.

Export clips from a sequence seperately with effects as a batch export in CS 5.5

Hi there,
I'd like to know if there is any possibility to export all clips from a sequence/timeline seperately with all applied effects as a batch export or similar in CS 5.5.
I know there is a chance to do that via the project manager, but a far as I know this way doesn't include the applied effects on each clip.
Thanks for your help in advance...
Marc.

The only way to export a single clip with effects is to manually set up each individual export. This applies to all version of PP.

Batch export audio in channels grouped

Hi!
My english is not the best so I will try to explain myself as good as possible.
I need to get the 5.1 audio from 11 sequences in discrete channels.
I know how to do this from each and one sequence. Right Click->Export->Audio to AIFF (s)...
But this takes a long time.
Is it possible to make a batch export and get the same result.
If I mark my sequences and choose batch export, the press settings I can only get the AIFFS as mono or stereo, but I cant get it as discrete channels.
I want it to be as same when I choose one individually.
When I use the method each one this is the result:
Sequence name_1
Sequence name_2
Sequence name_3
Sequence name_4
Sequence name_5
Sequence name_6
I hope I have made my problem clear.
Thank you for the help
/Sebastian

    app.swfExportPreferences.rasterResolution = 100;
for (var j=0; j<app.documents.length;j++){
groupsToJPEGs (app.documents[j]);
function groupsToJPEGs(doc) {
      var i, grps, expFile;
    grps = doc.groups;
    for ( i = 0; i < grps.length; i++ ) {
        expFile = File( saveFold + '/'+ doc.name + '_' + ( i + 1 ) + '.swf' );
        doc.groups[i].select();
        doc.groups[i].exportFile( ExportFormat.SWF, expFile, false );
main();
ps. Anyone can tell me how can i make the "advanced editor" as default for replies in this forum?

Automator / Applescript Batch export

Is it possible to create automator actions or applescript that will batch export a folder of keynote documents to .mov files?

No you can't batch them all at once because Quicktime is used for rendering the slideshow and it's a one at a time operation. It might be done with Applescript but you'd have to ask over in the Applescript forum for help with that.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

API for batch export to CMS

Hello Experts,
I am trying to locate an API that could replicate the features of the publishing wizard, but for local wid files - ie, batch export local wid files to BOE.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Bobby

Does anyone have an Automator workflow or script that will give the same result as we can get from Quick Time Pro when we chose Export to Apple TV?Here is a RippleCast which may be of interest to you. You can open it directly in the QT Player using the "Open URL" File option:
http://homepage.mac.com/jrwalker4/.Public/Automator for the People.mp4/
In addition. remember that QT Pro is designed for parallel processing natively. You can, of course, open multiple source files and export them simultaneously rather than opting to "sequentially" process one file at a time, one file after the other. This approach does not save any time since each file is individually processed more slowly but has about the same effect as batch processing the same number of files sequentially. I usually just close the players and leave the multiple "Progress Bar" window open to monitor activity (or just go to bed) while QT is working.

Silent batch export to controlled XML in Reader ?

Hi,
I would like to perform something very similar to SaveAsXML plugin in Acrobat (save content in controlled XML), but only with a reader, in a batch command line operation on potentially many files, in silent mode. I would like to write javascript or XML only, if possible.
Is it possible to reuse the SaveAsXML plugin in Reader only ?
Is it possible to invoke it from an external application in silent mode ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have seen issues wiith durations and compatibility when exporting non-standard clips directly through the Batch Export window. Though it is labor intensive, I found that by nesting each clip into a sequence, exporting the sequences resulted in more comatible movie files.

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?)
thx

what 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.

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,
Zap

Thanks, 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,
Zap
