Exporting Source File Names?

Post by gabstero »

Hi Gang!

Quick question. How can I export my batch to have the same file as the source footage (prores clips) so I don't have to type that in every time in the Destination field?
Thanks!

In the GUI or command line? GUI can be configured to use automatic file naming with the source file name as a part of the path.

In the GUI, Tools->Preferences, Output Files, in the field "File Format", using "{source}" will insert the source file name. The file extension will depend upon your selection for output file type.
