Media Encoder exporting to wrong output folder

Okay, but if people are exporting all of their projects to the same folder like your example, they would use the "export to a single location" option, wouldn't they?

I'm talking specifically about having that option turned off, and it still defaulting to the previous place instead, like the OP specified as well. 

That came about because many workers never export to the project, they export to the drive where all exports go, for quick access to send out that deliverable.

Such as a folder that is named for this, and located specifically, on all machines in that post facility. Anyone in the shop can always check for the more recently finished programs.

There are some places and workers, like you, that wish to export into the same project file as the sequence was built it. And it's a fine process if it works for your needs.

But it's not nearly as common as having that single, obvious export file.

In other words, a valid workflow, just not nearly as common as the other way. That's why the other way is the normal default.

I'd like to second this, having it automatically default to the previous project's location is silly, if I'm working on a new project now, why would I want it to export to the old location?

Hi Jean Carlos, thanks for the feedback!   We've had other requests about making the default export location logic more intuitive so I've added your suggestion about matching AE's behavior to our existing list.
