Multiple Outputs in Encoder

I know the following code in the sample panel will allow you to render a sequence in Media Encoder, however is there a way to add multiple outputs/presets so that one sequence can render to multiple files?

Sample Code:

app.encoder.encodeSequence( app.project.activeSequence, fullPathToFile,

                            outPreset.fsName, app.encoder.ENCODE_WORKAREA, 1);

I tried duplicating this snippet, however it just creates multiple render jobs in encoder, not multiple outputs.

What I'm trying to achieve looks like this in AME:

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

There's no PPro API (Encoder or otherwise) that will allow you to append another output module, to an existing render queue item.

Over two years later, I'm joining this discussion. Could really use scripting access to multiple outputs in AME.
And would be nice to be able to export MP4s from within AE, I'm sure you haven't heard that request before.

Thanks for the heads up,. If there's any way to submit an API feature request for this, I would like to. It's a feature my colleagues and I could greatly benefit from.

Thanks,

Justin
