Batch Edit the In/Out Point in the Export Settings

A great way to help improve the application is by being able to batch edit the in/out point in the export settings window. You're able to batch edit the output file destination, you're able to batch edit the export settings themselves (format, preset, video/audio settings etc.) but for some reason when you try to batch edit the in/out point for various files at a time, only 1 file will change accordingly. I say we should keep it consistant. I've attached a screenshot of the export setting window I'm referring too.

Ok, that is a fair point to be able to set the in out if all selected items having the same duration. We will investigate this. Thanks for the input.

This sounds like a good candidate for scripting. See https://ame-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/.

I wouldn't expect to be able to do it on mixed-duration sequences.

 

You could just say "Sequences must be the same duration to perform this action" as an error message if the durations on the selected sequences differ.

There is a technical limitation here. If all sources have the same duration, it would be possible. If you have multiple sources with different durations, the question is how we should apply this to all items, if this is sometimes out of scope and results in a lot of black frames. That is the reason, why we not doing this and only apply the pure encoding settings. The second is that it depends on the workarea. E.g. for a PPro Sequence we can set the in/out point depending on the sequence or use custom in/out points. For single clips we have only the entire and custom in/out points. What would you expect in a mixed case like this to be able to set custom in/out points?

100% agree. I just made a post about this same issue.
