Dynamic Scaling & Match Source Audio Channels for Ingest / Encode

Hi,

I think Media Encoder is missing a simple but integral feature that Premiere Pro already has - dynamic scaling ingest/encode.

Considering how many more settings and options are available in this software, I am shocked to see this one wasn't integrated.

Let's say a client sends a folder with footage from 3 different cameras and a drone that shot in a different resolution. If I threw that folder into a Watch Folder, I'd like Media Encoder to automatically create proxies at 1/4 resolution so the aspect ratio is preserved. Premiere already allows users to do this, so I don't understand why Media Encoder doesn't offer it.

While we're on this subject, maybe Media Encoder could also respect/preserve the same audio channel settings as the inbound media (vs. us having to choose). As we all know, Premiere doesn't like proxies that have mismatching audio channels. This entire headache could be avoided if Media Encoder just matched the source audio channels by default. I can't think of a scenario where an editor would want their proxies to have a different audio channel format? Because those proxies wouldn't be useable anyways...

Happy cutting!
Jack
