Save export presets?

I have looked everywhere and cannot find a way to save export presets I've created. I'm assuming these presets are stored somewhere. It's a huge hassle having to recreate the export presets when multiple people have image archiving duties, or if you do a new CS install. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm assuming these presets are stored somewhere.
On a Mac these preset are stored in the user library (by default hidden per OSX 10.7, if you don't see it use menu Go and press option key to reveal).
Here is the path:
User (Your name) / library/ Application support/ Adobe/ Bridge CS(xx)/ Export presets.
You can copy this for back Up and paste it in new set up same location and then they should show after restarting Bridge.
On Windows it might be the same route but a bit different starting location.

Cannot Save Export Presets PPro CC2014 (also in AME CC2014)

I cannot save any export presets in Premiere CC 2014 (PPro CC 2014) or import any presets. Also applies to Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 (AME CC 2014).
When I go File > Export > Media (or ⌘E) and set my format and output specs, I cannot save the preset. The preset says "custom" and then I hit the "save preset" icon. Type a name in the "Choose Name" dialog box, then click OK. The "Choose Name" dialog box disappears, but nothing happens. The preset line still says "custom" and there is no preset file available to choose. The preset is not saved. Export works, but the settings must be manually entered each and every time.
I also cannot import any presets. Have .EPR files with presets that I've used in the past and NONE of them will import using the "import preset" icon.
The presets will also not import into AME CC 2014 via any method at all - icons, dragging/dropping, copying to various directories... cannot load them. I cannot add them to the user presets & groups at all, no matter what method I have tried. It's frustrating and becoming infuriating. I can create a "New Group" in the user presets and groups, but nothing can be added to the group. Clicking the + for "create new preset" does nothing - no window opens or appears. Clicking "import presets" opens the "import preset" dialog box and I can choose files and click open, but they do not import or appear anywhere withing AME CC 2014.

Also see this discussion:
AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."

This was not directly a permissions issue. Had checked that numerous times previously and applied settings to all enclosed items on every folder that was related. This workaround was attempted several times previously, but had not worked. Now, it's working.
Re: AME CC 2014: "Adobe Media Encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue."
I will say, what I did differently this time was trying to edit the Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.app via Show Package Contents before attempting to do any of this. Not sure if that's why it suddenly worked or not, but worth mentioning.

QuickTime - Save Export Settings - script help needed

Currently I am using Panther 10.3.9 - with QT PRO 7.02 - ( I do not want to
upgrade to Tiger at this time unfortunately)...
* MY GOAL: to be able to save export preferences in QuickTime pro.
Since QuickTime does not seem to be able to save export presets... I
downloaded the the script collection from
From: Scriptable Applications: Quicktime Player
Location: http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
and created export settings and tried ....
Save Export Settings.scpt
... but the file that got saved will not open in QT PRO - OSX and wants to
open something from old os9....
what do I do?

= = = (see scripts below)
* here is my basic workflow ...
- load a QuickTime movie
- adjust the QuickTime movie export settings
- save a test copy ( validating the settings)
- run the "save export settings.scpt" with name "set1test"
Then
- open and run the "Export QuickTime movie.scpt" with the name " test movie"
- run the new test movie - and when I check info - it does NOT reflect the desired settings...
= = =
One issue is - this line...
export movie 1 to new_file as QuickTime movie using settings "set1test"
... It doesn't seem to care what the settings file name is - and if I change that name to a nonexistent name - it still exports the movie without an error.... Therefore it leads me to believe that it's not using it to begin with....
- another issue is that the settings file "set1test" says it is the kind = "QuickTime settings document" - however it has a blank icon in the Finder - and there does not seem to be any way to open the file with QuickTime 7.02 - and it can to open something classic mode when I double click on it.

LR 1.3 cannot save changes to export preset - only create new presets

So, in LR 1.2, I could change some parameters in a preset (export presets) and then save the changed preset. But the upgraded LR 1.3 export form does not seem to have a "save" option. I can create a new preset, I can remove a preset, but I cannot save a change to an already existing preset. I can get around it by ...
. add, creating a new (ie. temporary) name saving my changes
. open the original preset
. remove (the old preset)
. open the new preset (with the temp name)
. add using the old preset name that I like to use
. open the temporary (ie. new) preset
. remove (to delete the temporary preset)
- yuck! What an ugly work around :(
Can we please have our save option back again?

It's still there. Right-click the preset you want to update and select that option.

Export presets do not save file naming template

I don't know if this is a bug or a missing feature so I'll post here first, then submit a bug report if necessary. I have done a search first but not found anything relevant.
When you create an Export Preset, LR does not save the File Naming Template you want to use with it, the template is always whichever you used last. Seems a bit odd because you might want to use different filenaming conventions depending on what you are doing with the export, eg. different names for proofs, web galleries, etc.
However, if I am missing something, please me let me know.
Kind regards,
mcv

That's what I see also but what I meant was that two 'options' down, you can choose what 'File Naming' template to use, eg. Filename, Custom Text (x of y), etc. These don't get saved with your Export Preset, they stay the same as the last one you used. At least on my Windows version.
I don't know how you do enclosures like you did, so I'm linking to the images instead to show you what I mean.
While I was taking screenshots of this I noticed some other peculiar behaviour. It seems that the preset DOES actually save the filenaming template but doesn't show you this. I'll explain as follows:
Here I have a template for full size JPEGs, I invented some custom text and that's why the preset says 'edited'.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_168305550246ba83c417104.jpg
Here I have changed the preset but the File Naming template appears to have stayed the same, though it does show a 'preview' (01.jpg).
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_56540006946ba83c532d43.jpg
However, this is odd - I moved the mouse over the custom text box and the words instantly changed to the words I had last used (Castafo is the name of a band). I had not saved the name of the band in the template.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_117289421846ba83c645133.jpg
Lastly, I tried another preset and again it appears the template is the same but the 'preview' is correct. Mouseing over did not change any text.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_168262086846ba83c76e439.jpg
Pretty weird and inconsistent behaviour, don't you think? The software that is, not me - I already know about me(!)
I always keep an eye on the preview anyway so no big deal but do you have any thoughts Ian, or anyone else?
Thanks,
mcv

Save Export settings as a Preset?

Is there a way to save the Export settings as a Preset?
I convert QuickTime files to a variety of different formats that use very specific compression, size, and sound settings. It would be helpful to have user-defined presets so I don't have to manually enter them everytime AND to ensure consistancy.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I found this thread while looking for a similar thing....Requires a little Applescript, but seems to do the job.
It was here:

Re: Custom export settings
Subject: Re: Custom export settings
From: Gary Flint <email@hidden>

I'm looking at developing an Applescript that will take a source Quicktime
file and export several Quicktime versions of the movie using different
compression settings (FPS, quality, codec) for streaming. Applescript can
tell Quicktime Pro to export movies using the export presets already
included in Quicktime Pro, but I am wondering if it is possible to add
custom export presets?
-Rob
The answer to your question is yes, with some caveats. You can preserve any arbitrary export preset using the following process:
1) Open a movie representative of the kind you'd like to export
2) Choose "Export" from the "File" menu
3) Select the desired export kind from the "Export:" popup menu (Movie to QuickTime movie in this example)
4) Click the "Options..." button to specify your custom settings, then click OK
5) Note that the "Use:" popup menu now displays "Most Recent Settings"
6) Start the export by clicking on the "Save" button (if you don't start an export the "Most Recent Settings" won't stick)
7) Cancel the export if it is a long one
8) To double-check the export settings, select the "Export..." menu item again. The "Export:" popup in the export dialog should indicate the last export performed and the "Use:" popup should display "Most Recent Settings". Click on the "Options..." button to confirm that the settings are indeed what you desire (you can skip this step once you gain confidence that this process actually works).
9) Without closing the open movie, run the following AppleScript
tell app "QuickTime Player"
tell first movie
save export settings for QuickTime movie to file "My Volume:Export to Xyz Format"
end tell
end tell
10) Repeat steps 1 through 9 for each export variation. Be sure to provide meaningful names for the export settings files.
To perform the actual movie export, use something like the following:
tell app "QuickTime Player"
tell first movie
-- export various movie versions
export to "My Volume:Movie Xyz" as QuickTime movie ,
using settings alias "My Volume:Export to Xyz Format.set"
export to "My Volume:Movie Xyy" as QuickTime movie ,
using settings alias "My Volume:Export to Xyy Format.set"
export to "My Volume:Movie Xzz" as QuickTime movie ,
using settings alias "My Volume:Export to Xzz Format.set"
-- etc.
end tell
end tell
Keep in mind that there is only one "Most Recent Settings" for each export type so you may want to make note of your settings in case you want to go back and tweak them.
Thankyou, and I hope my ramblings make sense.
I think they made sense (and my answer is predicated on that assumption). That said, I think both your question and my answer will appear as senseless ramblings to the non-scripters on the list.

Image Export Presets won't save

Hey folks, since I've upgraded to Aperture 2.1, I hadn't setup any new export presets since using Aperture 1.5 and noticed that my export behaviour is all messed up.
Specifically - if I try to add my own preset, upon hitting the OK button and revisiting the image export preset screen, my added presets do not persist!
Even more surprisingly, if I delete many of the existing presets (say all the TIFF presets) when I come back to the Image export presets the deleted presets have returned from the dead.
Can anyone provide some insight on this? I can't find any other place in Aperure or the OS that governs the preset settings.

Fyi - if you run into this problem completely un-installing and re-installing Aperture seems to have fixed it.
I'm not clear on what lead up to the issue tho.

Premiere CS6 does not remember some settings when saving custom export presets.

When I save a custom export preset in the export window, some settings are not remembered, and I need to change them every time again and again! The settings so far I found to not be saved are:
Key frame every ... frames
Limit data rate to ...

Interesting...
When I create and save an a H.264 QT preset
using the Export Settings dialog from within Premiere,
it does not save the key frame interval or max bitrate.
However, when I create a H.264 QT preset from within
Media Encoder and save... the missing settings are saved
and can be recalled from within the Premiere Export Settings dialog.
EDIT:
Re-tested this a bit more, and now the kf interval & max bitrate are
being saved with the presets created in Premiere Export Settings dialog.
Odd... my first 2 tries didn't take?

HELP - lost pdf export presets?!

Help! This morning I began work in ID and suddenly discovered that my long list of PDF export presets (which I use for work daily) was simply gone. I have only the default list - screen, print, press, etc. These are very complex presets that I need on a daily basis to produce files for my clients - I really need them.
What happened?? Nothing is different about today; I went through my standard work process this morning. Nothing traumatic happened to ID. I repaired disk permissions and restarted yesterday, but that was a standard maintenence procedure for me - nothing unusual.
This morning I noticed that the files in the user>library>pref?Adobe InDesign folder all showed as being modified at 8:30 this morning, when I started work.
I back up my files and can probably (I hope) recover any missing file - but where exactly is it? I can simply replace the entire preference folder in my user folder...
thx
Libby
TiBook G4/IDCS 1

Just checking: I think this is what I do now: open Export PDF dialog; set all options,
and click Save Preset... in bottom left? they then all appear permanently under File>PDF Export Presets and in Export PDF dialog. Is that what you mean?
(don't mean to bug you, Buko; I appreciate all the help as ever. just trying to collect all new info.)

Automator export preset error

We've created an automator workflow to resize images in aperture, rename and upload to FTP. To recap this saved 4 image sizes from originals and uploaded them via ftp after adding filename suffixes.This runs on the latest version of OS X Lion 10.7.2, Aperture 3.2.2 and Automator.
It has 4 x export presets defined in Aperture. These are Full, Banner, Grid and Thumbnail images at different sizes.
These presets work fine from Aperture. The workflow works OK when it is limited to one image. When we add more, the export presets all default to the same size. I've set it to 'show the action when the workflow runs' – this shows an incorrect preset being applied at each stage…
Any ideas why the presets are not being correctly remembered by the workflow?

Hi Frank
Here's some more information and a copy of the workflow. The aperture presets will not stay when I save a copy of the workflow – I've included screengrabs.
I also get the following applescript error when opening a saved or duplicated version;
Can’t get «class view» id 902 of «class view» id 896 of «class scrV» id 895 of «class splV» id 894 of «class view» id 893 of «class splV» id 892 of window id 891. (-1728

Export preset not pre-selected. why?

I can’t figure out where the problem lies. We have set up a preset for our mxf exports, but it is not pre-selected in the Premiere export window. Instead one of the AVC-Intra settings is selected. Is there a way to change and save this?
I tried to select our preset, export from it, close the project and open again. But AVC intra is pre selected again.

OK, I've found a new work around that appears to solve the problem.
- Under the Aperture menu, select Preferences
- Click the Export Tab
- From the Email Photo Export Preset drop-down menu select Edit
- Click on the Email Small - JPEG (or whatever preset you want to use) and drag it to the top of the list. You will see purple bars appear as you drag it up. make sure this preset is first in the list of presets
Now whenever you open Aperture 3, and click Email, it will use the preset you've selected.
This still looks like a bug where the program always defaults to emailing pictures using the export preset that is on top of the export preset list.

Export multiple resolutions/formats/versions in single export preset

I would like to be able export multiple resolutions of a project at the same time into separate folders. I can kind of do this now by having multiple export presets and running each of them right after the other and then letting them export simultaneously. Even though the export preset has a folder name specified, I have to manually type in the unique project name into each export preset. Unfortunately this becomes a little bit cumbersome as I often use 3 or 4 export presets for each project, and I may be exporting multiple projects at the same time. Obviously it makes sense to just type the unique text once (or have it automatically read from metadata) to avoid typos and make it easier on me.
I think there are two parts to make this work. The first is using metadata to name the folder name (to ensure unique foldernames), and the second is to allow "export preset groups" that export multiple presets together.
Here is my scenario:
I have three export presets:
600px saves to subfolder "project 600px for web"
2400px saves to subfolder "project 2400px for print"
600px watermark saves to subfolder "project 600px watermark"
So I have to type the real project name, replacing "project" three times for each project. This information could be easily entered automatically because lightroom already has that metadata in the folder name, or collection name.
This could be entered for the folder name in the same way custom file naming is done with the Filename Template Editor.
Another option would be use the Custom Text field in the Filename Template Editor to manually enter the project name if it's not already in some metadata field.
All of this already works great with the file name options, it just needs to be applied to the folder name as well.
Once the folder naming is taken care of, just group multiple presets into a preset group, or allow to select multiple presets at once, and exporting multiple resolutions/formats/versions of a group of images is made easy.

Thanks Rob
Your export plugin does allow running multiple export presets in a single group, however it still doesn't address the folder naming issue. Using your tool, I can easily initiate my multiple presets in a single export, however I am stuck using the generic foldername that I specified in my original export preset. This means that after the export completes, I still have to rename the folders to the particular project name. I would save the time of typing the project name into lightroom, but then just have to repeat that same task later outside of lightroom. It also prevents me from exporting two projects at the same time (or one after the other) because both projects would end up in the same generically named folders.
That said it is a useful plugin that I will likely use under the specific scenarios where it does work.

Importing of PDF Export Preset

Does anyone know how to import an existing PDF export preset into IDS. Ideally I'd like to set up Presets in InDesign desktop and then copy them into IDS, but I cant find where the preset files are stored. Alternatively, I could save existing presets as .joboptions files, and then use the script interface to import them. I cant find the right calls to make.
Thanks.

PDF presets are all stored in the same place for all Adobe applications. If you create a new preset using InDesign desktop it will automatically be available to IDS, and vice versa.<br /><br />On the Mac they're stored in : '/<user>/library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings'<br />On Windows: '<user>\Application Data\Adobe\adobe pdf\settings'

How do I import custom export presets from PPro CS6 to PPro CC?

In CS6 I have a big list of custom export settings specific to the various broadcasters that I upload content to; would like to not have to rebuild them all in CC. How can I transfer them over? I cannot find where the custom export presets are stored in the system. Mac OSX 10.7.5

Here's what I did on a PC. Should work similarly on a Mac.
Open Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
Select your customer preset.
From the "Preset" menu, select "Export", and choose somewhere to temporarily save the preset file.
In AME CC, you then need to import these files.
