I bought a pack which has like 500 after effects in it for video editing. Now I have to convert these files (.aep) in mp4 so I can work with them.

How can I do that ?

you can select all of them, the same way I showed you with a single one in my video,

but select all of them holding shift key, set the format to H.264 if you want them all mp4

and set the output location of any of the selected, it will apply to all selection...

you need to do this method, because don't forget that you need to set 2 things :

1. Format

2. Destination

AME's Preference Dialog has an option to always save to a specific folder - use it before sending any AEPs/Compositions to AME.

following the video I sent you, when you are in Media Encoder, click on the blue line below

'Output File' and you will be able to save in the destination you choose, do not go to file

save and search for save as ... just click on the play button I demonstrated

choose only the effects you think you will use in your current project, you are dealing

with 500 effects here

Gutterfish read my question. If you have read it, read once more.

Now you should know that I must change 500 effects . Your video shows how to do it with a single file. I already knew how that works.

I don't want to save each file individually. I want to specify 1 folder.

carlosz I need all of them.

Thanks for the answers but I have a big problem.

If i put it into ame it all extracts into my Temp folder (C:) but I have no space for that. So it fails all the time...

And I cant change the extract path... so depressing

Why isn't there a Button which says "save to" so you can choose your destination folder ? I have 4 tb free on E driver...

I just want to get these aep files converted into mp4 and on my E driver...

Pls help how can I change extract folder?

All I see is Watch folder and stuff like that.

It's obvious that you brought this huge pack of AE files having never used After Effects. What were you expecting?

You're just opening these programs with no instruction and asking "why wont it do this? How do I do that?"

I might be the only person here compassionate enough to tell you what a fool you're being.

Adobe has tutorials on how to get started with all their programs.

I think you should have some respect for others (as well as for yourself) and take a few hours to learn the most very basics...like how to save a file.
