AME Workflow
Hello!
I'll get straight to the point:
I own two systems. I do all my video edits on my 12-core Mac Pro.
But, because it's the trashcan one, I can't add storage to it, so...
I also have a 6-core PC with PLENTY of space, just added an 8TB HDD to it.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
1- Import video from GoPro HERO 5 and 7
2- Convert to ProRes 422 Proxy to allow Resolve to edit without stuttering
3- On the Mac, pull the files for each video and edit
Now, here's what I need Media Encoder to do:
1- Watch the folder the GoPro videos get dumped in (via GoPro Quik app)
2- Automatically convert them, keeping file folder structure, Quik separates them by camera and by date. For example, it'll look like this:
W:\IMPORT\2019-05-24\GOPRO HERO 5\filename.mp4
W:\IMPORT\2019-05-24\GOPRO HERO 7\filename.mp4
I need AME to put them, after conversion, in:
W:\IMPORT\OUTPUT\2019-05-24\GOPRO HERO 5\filename.mp4
W:\IMPORT\OUTPUT\2019-05-24\GOPRO HERO 7\filename.mp4
And son on and so forth...
I've gotten as far as adding the watch folder and choosing the ProRes 422 Proxy preset.
What's next?
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: I saw there's a little tutorial on how to create a watch folder server on here. It doesn't explain how to do what I'm trying to do.
