filename_youtube HD.mp4

filename_watermark LQ.mp4

filename_watermark HD.mp4

The "Append preset name to file name" checkbox in Preferences is one way to do this, but you could also use an Ingest Preset to access more robust renaming options:

  1. Create a new Ingest Preset (Preset > Create Ingest Preset...)
  2. In the Ingest Preset Settings dialog, turn on "Transcode files to destination" and choose a destination path for your output.
  3. Select an Encoding Preset from the Format & Preset menus.
  4. Turn on "Rename Files" and choose "New Preset" from the popup menu
  5. Click the "Add Preset Field" button and choose "File Name"
  6. Click the "Add Preset Field" button again and choose "Custom Text".
  7. Type a custom string in the text field (ex: "_youtube HD")
  8. Click the Save button and type a name for your renaming preset.
  9. Click OK to save the Ingest Preset

In Adobe Media Encoder Preferences, under General-->Output, there is an option to Append preset name to filename

Hey Furkand,

I do not think that is possible in Adobe Media Encoder.

Feel free to make a feature request for this here.

Thanks,

That's a fine solution you got there, Kulpreet. One that you Adobe people have been serving since 2012:

There's the option in Prefs to add the preset's name to the file name... but that is NOT what we want. We need that in the preset itself. Not global.

Can you do better?
