AME - delete source files after completion

Hi, I'm using AME strictly for encoding videos. Is there a way so that it can delete source files after encoding is completed? Thanks for reply.

    Hi Loki188,

    After transcoding your files, you can delete the Source footage folder.

    Most of the video editing apps are Non-destructive editing applications.

    Non-destructive editing is a form of editing where the original content is not altered in the course of editing, allowing you to make changes to your media, like making cuts, speed adjustments, and adding cinematic Looks, without overwriting the original files.

    However, you can try the Watch Folder workflow in Adobe Media encoder.
