[Avid-L2] Re: FR: Add Export Features, like Batch and separate channels

 

good suggestions... I'd advise putting them in the FR forum of the Avid site though... more likely they'll be seen.

I don't think they're so niche - I have to jump through a number of hoops getting screener versions out - with different requirements for composer / producer etc.

Then export audio tracks 1&2 as mono AIFF. Then export audio tracks 3,4,5,6 as a stereo mix down to an AIFF. And then audio tracks 7,8,9,10 as a stereo mix down to an AIFF. Which is basically what the trailer houses ask for. Picture with separate Dialog, SndFX and Music stems.

Each audio track is exported to it's own AIFF. VFX vendors sometimes ask for this so they can see what is happening on each layer of an effect that we are sending then a guide reference on.

But I think that many would benefit from being able to batch export to different settings directly out of Media Composer and not having to use something like Ref QTs and Compressor.
