Batch export question
I need to export many sequences to a different NLE in the build that only takes quicktime animation codec. I can't find that setting in "batch export"... so not a big deal I guess. So if I use export to compressor it looks like i can do it there as a quicktime animation. My question which maybe should be asked in compressor forum. I know what the video settings need to be but the audio I'm not sure about. The clip needs to be QT animation /44.100 16bit mixdown. But I'm lost on the format ? Should that be "Linear PCM". The edit system it's going to is a Edius on a PC.
Sorry if this is newb questions but I'm totally lost ?
Thanks for any direction !
Nick.. that's hilarious !! To be honest it probably is setup wrong. We use 48k and our smoke editors use 48k, but the Edius is so far out of my department I have no idea. I do know that our Deko's only take 44.100. I'm in the design dept. so audio isn't my strong area
Thanks for the help I appreciate it !!!

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. -
Hi folks. I've seen a few batch rename questions before, but I think this one's a little different.
I have a long (8 minute) movie, one big piece in a FCP timeline. For reasons unimportant to this question, I need to break it up into about 50 little 10 second movies. I can do that easily but using the cutting tool and cut cut cut away until I've split my one item in the timeline into 50 pieces. I can then drag them into a bin. Of course, each one is called "final" (that's the name of the movie). I can select all those clips and make them independent clips, which now allows me to rename them.
Problem is, they need to be renamed to a bunch of unrelated words. ie "plane", "building", "sky" etc. So a simple batch sequence that names them 1, 2 ,3 is not what I'm after.
I have an exel file with a single column that lists all these names in their proper order. So far, I have successfully:
exported a batch list from my 50 clips in the bin that are named the same.
replaced the file names in that batch list with the names from my column of names
reimported that revised batch list into FCP. Their properties are all correct, ie the right name is with the right in and out points etc.
I'm stuck now where those clips have a red line through them. How can I relink the 50 clips in the timeline (which are all still called "final") with their properly named counterparts in the bin?
batch capture of course isn't a solution since there's nothing to capture.
Hope that's clear and thanks in advance for any ideas.
BIf you're running a 32 bit version of windows try Batch Rename
A really great piece of freeware that is easy to use.
There are also options within PS's batch dialog that allow you to do the same thing, but I find the above app so much easier.
I really miss it on my Vista 64 box... -
Batch export of individual clips? Premiere timeline to Media Encoder??
I have a bunch of clips on a CS6 timeline.
I want to batch encode them out.
I'm trying to figure out how to take those clips to Media Encoder so I can batch export them out all at once.
I've heard I can pull them all into a folder in CS6 and then batch export them out of that folder - though I can't seem to drag the clips en masse from the timeline to the folder (as I can in FCP7) - Premiere seems to only allow one clip to be dragged at a time. Very tedious. And the suggestion I read on the Forum doesn't quite match MY Premiere CS6 (the menu items are not the same).
Any suggestions would be most appreciated...
BenHi joe bloe,
It is similar. And then my question is: how do I get all the clips on the timeline into a bin in one drag and drop (not one at a time)? And once it's in the bin, what are the menu steps to batch export?
I have a vague memory of using the Media Encoder to batch out some clips several days ago - but can't remember if they came directly from a Premiere timeline...
Apologies. I'm in the middle of a complicated job, with three different type cameras going, two of which I haven't used before, and thus my brain is a bit fried for searching through manuals.

I'm looking for a means of simplifying the workflow of creating individual quicktime files of the "events" in my home videos. I'm currently using iMovie to capture and edit the video into a series of "events" (e.g., soccer game, birthday party,...), set off by the iDVD Chapter markers. At this stage in the workflow I would like to run a batch process that would do an export of each such chapter into its own quicktime file. I have not been able to find an iMovie plug-in that can do this. Nor have I found another program (e.g., handbrake, JES deinterlacer) than can "read" the iMovie .mov file (hiding in the Package) and interpret the Chapter markers appropriately... Any suggestions? Perhaps I should use another program (Final Cut Express?) instead of iMovie?

Batch Exporting of Different File Extensions
Just a quick question for you Aperture Gurus. (Aperture 2)
When exporting a large number of files of differnt file extension types, do you do all of them at once, or separte them into their different file extensions then batch export them.
An expample might be:
Eporting jpeg and raw files within a common album or file. I have been creating different albums, and batch exporting depending on the file extension. Has anyone tried batch exporting with different file types with success?
Thanks
DanI taling about the original files. Lets say I have at least 2 different master files, jpeg, and, Canon RAW in the same folder or album. Now lets say I want to batch or bulk export them all in one shot. Both jpeg, and RAW exported in one function. I set the export presets that I would like, and hit the export button with both the RAW and jpeg selected.
Do you see any concerns with doing this? I currently separate all my different files, jpeg, RAW, TIFF, etc, so I keep the exporting from messing up. I haven't actually tried mixing file types in an export function.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had any sucess with mixed file type exports?
Thanks

Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X
So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

How can I fix my Batch Export problem?
"the batch export failed for some items" is what I get when I try batch exporting footage.
It worked fine for the first month of using FCP 7.
All I want to do is convert my quicktime clips to Apple Pro Res.
I have no Idea what the problem is!
Help?Please ask your question on the Final Cut Studio forum.

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. -
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,

// End X2L.jsxI have put the like var exportPath = "~/Desktop/Backdrops/png/"; and have removed the exportPath = exportPath + '/layers';
but when i run the script it still comes up with the error
could not complete action since the destination folder does not exist
if you are using the extendedscript toolkit would be able to run the script and see if you know were the problem is coming from i cant seem to understand why its not seeing the destination.
thanks for all your help

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"?
