I agree with David and Jay on this list. Good stuff.
Some of this you could do if you exported to Resolve and then Resolve can do some of this - like Batch Exporting. That's not the most efficient workflow however. Plus you'd lose stuff like text which would be one of the main reasons for some of these batch export requests. I have OFTEN needed to do what Jay suggests and it's a time consuming process that COULD go much easier. OR give all of this stuff to Symphony to help to differentiate it from MC. Right now, they're just SO close it's ridiculous.

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.

>> 3) Export each channel of a sequence to it's own file: So that video track 1 is it's own QT. Then video track 2 is it's own QT, etc. And same for the audio. 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.
