Batch exporting

[Aristotelis]

There are some cases where you would like to have both PC3's multi-target feature combined with the Batch Export feature. (e.g. export two sequences or two In/Out selections of a sequence out as both an MPEG-2 and WMV file)

That is not a big limitation since you can use the batch export from edius combined with the watchfolder feature of PC3 and have the same result (Just a few clicks more)

Batch List!

I used the Batch Export feature of 4.5x on a current project for about 20 segments destined for YouTube. I can probably safely say it's now my second favorite new feature! (Second only to the "Fade" buttons) I like the ability to change file names and settings prior to export.

Simply a brilliant time saver with lots of potential.

I have to know...
Can you clear the list, or does it stay with the project?

Yes and no.

PC3 can export to multiple targets (simultaneously) from a single sequence within a project.

The Batch Export function lets you queue up multiple targets that can reference any In/Out selection of any sequence within a project. The export list is processed one at a time however.

There are some cases where you would like to have both PC3's multi-target feature combined with the Batch Export feature. (e.g. export two sequences or two In/Out selections of a sequence out as both an MPEG-2 and WMV file)

Unfortunately, because ProCoder 3 is executed externally, it is not possible to use ProCoder 3 with Batch Export.

So far, it would appear that the Batch Exporter cannot support the following exporters:

- ProCoder Express for EDIUS
- ProCoder 3
- ProCoder 3 Wizard
- HDV SpeedEncoder
- Still Image

Not sure why Still Image is out in the cold. Will have to check on that one..

Will the batch exporting from EDIUS 4.5 be able to use ProCoder 3?
If not can it be made a request.

EDIT: What was I thinking? You can already do that!!!!!
