Naming rules for files and folders.
As we have presets for encoding preferences, such should be for naming convention of files and the automation of creating new folders.

for example:
For the "save to" folder I selected: D:\Projects\MyMovie\
Enecoded file, JPG SEQ named: Scn1_####.jpg
and third place output in the outputs list
with a QT preset named "QTpreview":

A naming rule such: \%FileName\%index_%FileName.ext

will save as: D:\Projects\MyMovie\Scn1\3_Scn1.mov
*Underscore and numbers should not be included unless
a different rule is used.

A naming rule such \%index\%preset.ext

will save as D:\Projects\MyMovie\3\QTpreview.mov

More rules can be used such as date, Time code extra.
every output can have a preset rule and and outputs selected together can simultaneously with a click of a button change their preset together

Since upgrading from 2017 to 2018 we can not use the Media Encoder batch processing feature any more. After 1 or 2 processed videos Media Encoder fails and we get the following error message:

Export Error
Error compiling movie.

Accelerated Renderer Error

We would love to be able to render overnight again, rather than rendering each file from Premiere for 30-40 minutes before being able to work on the next video.

This is a major bottle neck for us that costs us a lot of time and we would be thankful if someone could look into this.

Thanks,

Eric

Many times animations are rendered out in image sequences, and while the watch folder implementation is helpful to transcode to other video formats, the system has one critical flaw:

Currently, if you import an image sequence into a watch folder, and there are multiple output presets associated with that watch folder, only the first process completes successfully. Any other processes after that fail to transcode - since the source images have been moved to the source folder and are no longer available in the watch folder.

It would be awesome to improve/implement the following:

1. Allow the user more control and customization to define the source folders in the preset. This could be used using tokens like in Cinema 4D. ie $date, $time, $fileformat etc.




2. Prevent image sequences (or any file format) from being moved to the source folder before all subsets/outputs in the preset have been executed.




3. Introduce a nodal visual system such as FFASTrans that allows for multiple workflows. Something like AE's mini flowchart comes to mind (this is likely a stretch - but you're Adobe!).

Thanks for everything.

When using a Watch Folder, ME moves the original file to a folder called Source and places it under a sub-folder named with the date and time.

This means that locating the original file requires knowledge of when it was processed. Not a big deal when managing only a few files, but a huge pain for a large number of files, particularly when multiple editors need to locate those files.

At a bare minimum, I would like the be able to set the sub-folder name to the same as the original file. Appending a "_#" tot he folder name in the event of duplicated file names would be acceptable.

Even better would be to be able to configure multiple settings for what happens to the master file after processing. I understand the need to move it, but let me specify the name of the "Source" folder and decide if each file needs its own sub-folder or not. If so, let me specify how that folder is named.
