Add option to copy video to additional location after encode is completed
This software is called media ENCODER so technically this doesn't really fall under it's rubric but, since one can queue multiple encodes to different locations it would also be helpful to have post encoding options such as the ability to copy a finished job to multiple locations, this allows one to automatically output to all needed locations, but also avoid unnecessary re-encoding. It's just a convenience thing.
I am often encoding to an external drive to be used as a delivery medium, but that is not the location that will be used for archiving of the project. A given encode can be quite large and take a long time to copy and an even longer time to encode. It would be good to queue the encode to go to the delivery drive first, so that it's on there as quick as possible but also have it copy to the archive storage location afterwards. This will allow me to go away and do other tasks while media encoder works and have everything be in it's place on my return, but also minimise how long that hiatus needs to be.

Great idea James, I might add this to AfterCodecs https://www.autokroma.com/AfterCodecs
