Shortcut button in Export Frame window to send image to Desktop

Report · Feb 05, 2023

When exporting frames from Pr, I do so for 2 different reasons:

1. Still images taken from my edited video to give to my client

2. Temp images to confirm titles or other details with client

I always want these images to go to 2 different locations:

Still images --> Project's Export folder

Temp images --> Desktop for easy locating to send to client by WhatsApp before deleting

Adding a 'Desktop' shortcut to the Export Frame window would make it extremely easy for users to decide on the fly if they want to send their frame to the current location in the Path bar or to their Desktop. Of course, users can navigate to their Desktop using the 'Browse...' button, but then their previously seletected path gets lost in the process. This is inconvenient and annoying. The solution is simple: add a Desktop shortcut button!

Thank you!

I like this idea, and can easily see where it would be an incredible time-saver for many users. Thanks for posting, and I was delighted to vote for it.

Also be aware of being able to use the 'review' workspace with the frame.io panel, as that can also be used to communicate with clients. Including text messages and marking on the image itself.

Additional fees may be involved, of course, but it's handy as all get out. Your suggestion would of course be both fast and free.

As you can see Neil, using popularity (i.e. # of votes) to determine the validity of a FR is a very poor metric. 😉 As much as this idea would help a ton of users on a regular basis, it still only has 1 vote. I think it's because most users on this forum only vote for the issues that most annoy them. They seldom vote for ideas they haven't thought of themselves that could improve their workflow. I just hope Adobe takes into account the fact that their voting system is pretty much useless when deciding which new features to add.

Here's another similar FR I just added that's similar to the one above: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-ideas/ability-to-add-multiple-export-locations-to-the-ex...

What do you think?

The votes are only one metric of many.

And I upvoted that suggestion ...

I would also like the ability to set bit depth for TIFF files. It defaults to an 8bit export, which isn't the greatest in some situations. Although there are some things Premiere could learn from Resolve in terms of saving stills too. I've been currently using that for batch saving my stills lately.
