Question

Is it possible to modify the DEFAULT export path to follow the most recent IMPORT path?

Hi,

I have several folders, each one has its own import folder (the mp4 or audios),

But anytime I am done with a project and rendered my video (exported) the default EXPORT path is now following that path (truth be told I usually make copies of projects maybe thats why)

I would like the default export path to be the same as the import path

So whenevre I go import stuff from a path, I want the export buton to automaticaly show me that path as possible path to export to?

Or any other solutions, I don't think there are "bookmarked" paths are there? (For export i mean not import, I know we have those for import)

I could chose the parent directory as a bookmarked export path and then from there could avoid several clicks everytime (I prefer that than to find myself inside the export path of an old project)

Not sure if I understand your need correctly, but is Compass a solution?

Hi there,

Welcome to the community! Currently, there is no option to automatically set the export location as the last import location. You may submit a feature request for this at our Ideas page. Hope you find it useful.

 

Thanks,

Sumeet

That is not possible today, but maybe Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro can solve that with a script.

 

Mathias Moehl, is it possible in Automation Blocks? 🙂

perhaps. If i had to with this route, I would even think about using ExtendScript for it. If Bruce is reading this lines and have an idea, we are interested perhaps. I could make a script that could work if I knew how to order PPRO to export its main sequence into a video in JSX.
