Question about batching?

First I love this program!!!!

I am wondering if there is a way to set default settings for batch jobs. I often run the same thing on a bunch of file for example I will chop the first 7secs and then the last 5 seconds from a bunch of files. I have to reset the Range to seconds and adjust the time for every file add it to the queue then select the next file and fix the range, rinse and repeat for all files in folder. Is there a way to lock that setting in so that it stays for all the files in a batch? So I could set the range then just add all the files to the queue and it will apply the range to all the files?







Handbrake Version 1.30




OS: Windows 10

I am running into the same issue. Have more than 1000 video files, of which I only need the first frame. Did you figure out how to do this?

Taking the first frame might be easier to do with ffmpeg than handbrake's CLI
