Set Render Location for multiple items

Right now, when multiple compositions are queued but not yet rendered, each one requires its own manual “Output To” selection. This gets tedious fast when you have dozens of comps waiting. It would be a major time-saver to select multiple queued items and assign a single output destination to all of them at once. Currently, even if you select all the comps and set the output for one, it doesn’t propagate to the other selected comps.

This would simplify batch-rendering workflows and eliminate a lot of repetitive clicking, especially on large projects with many deliverables.

I completely agree with this suggestion. Being able to set a single render location for multiple queued items would save a lot of time, especially on larger projects. This kind of batch control would make the workflow much smoother.

Hey Ryan,

This is something that's always been possible, although it can be easy to miss, so I support this feature request.

Selecting multiple jobs in Render Queue does allow you to batch duplicate, delete, uncheck, change the Render Settings and also the Output Modeul; but as you said, it doesn't affect only changing the Output Directory.

However, if you select "Output Module," you can Shift+Click (or Ctrl/Cmd+Click to select sporadically), this will affect the render destination of all jobs.

Thanks,
