I want to automate small video editing

Hello There,

 

I have hundreds of video, that I need to edit (the same modifictations on each videos)

Here are the modifications :

  • Change the resolution, from 16:9 to 9:16 (with black spaces under and above)
  • Add a picture at the beginning and at the end of the video
  • Add a transition between the pictures and the video
  • export the videos, with the same title and same format than the original (Different resolution, but still MP4, 1080P, and in another place)

I did almost 60 videos tonight with adobe express, but it took me hours, and it’s Kinda boring, and repetitive.

So I wondered if there is a way, using premiere, or anything else from adobe suit, to automate this workflow, because it’s alwas exactly the same modifications.

 

 

Obviously, In the future, we will record our videos in both format, 16:9 and 9:16, but at this point, we never thought to do it.

 

Thanks to all who will take the time to read this !

    Yes, this sounds like a good job for Automation Blocks. Or even easier for its successor Automation Agent, which is currently in private beta testing phase.

    I’m sure there’s a few things you can do to speed up this process.

    It would be good to know a couple things first:

    1. What is the transition?
    2. Are all the videos the same length?

    1. simple transition like cross-fade or black-fade (not sure if it’s the good terms in english, but I think that it’s understandable 😅)
    1. All the videos are not the same length, but there is no cut to do

    I wonder if Automation Blocks might be able to do some of that.

    Hi gauthier,

    Thanks for the message. I'm not aware of anything that works like this in Premiere out of the box. I hope the community might offer you some suggestions. I'm researching the issue too, so I hope together we can come up with a good workflow. Sorry for the frustration.


    Thanks,
    Kevin
