Batch rendering in Movie Studio - can it be done?

From what I can tell there is no way to do batch rendering using Movie Studio. I did look at the Vaast Batch Render product, but that only handles rendering within a single project. That's not what I'd like to do.

I have about 20 Movie Studio projects from a recent trip to the Greek Islands. Each project is a separate island/location. The total length of all of them is about 2 1/2 hrs of HD video.

I'd like to be able to render them all in some sort of single batch operation: put the project files in a list and pass this list to some software product that simply invokes the Movie Studio render machine to create 20 separate rendered output files.

After that I'll just pull the rendered output into DVD Architect and make a BluRay disk.

I've never used Vegas Pro but I've got to believe it has a way of doing this. So maybe there is some way to use that method (whatever it is) with Movie Studio????

I have rendered 5 projects simultaneously overnight just by opening up multiple instances. Not elegant, but it worked.

Movie Studio does not support third-party extensions except FASSTApps (this is by design). So, there is no way to do it unless VASST implement this feature in their tool...

p.s. Vegasaur for Vegas Pro can batch render multiple projects at once ;)
