Can anyone point me to software that can batch render my hundreds of avi clips (feature DV film project) to another folder/drive WHILE KEEPING THE SAME FILENAMES for each clip? Without removing the 24p information?
While editing the film, I kept all the uncut captured clips as a separate .veg project, lined up on a LONG Vegas 5 timeline. The top track is each complete avi clip as a video event, the track below it is the camera audio (part of the avi file), and on another track below each clip, is the boom-mike audio which is synchronized to each clip.
I've tried the scripts that are mentioned on the forum, but all I'm able to do is auto-mark each clip as a region. From there, I don't see how I can render each avi clip to another folder bearing the SAME FILENAMES (sorry about the caps but I'm emphasizing what's missing from all the scripts I've tried)--the purpose being that the new clips will now have the boom mike's audio as the avi clip's audio, and I can easily hand off those avi's on a drive to a pro editor using a different NLE.
If I can do this, I can also delete all the 'old' clips and on opening each .veg project file representing a 20-minute segment of the film project, I could just tell Vegas to search the new folder and the project would instantly update itself with the new clips.
I had hoped to preserve the 24p information in the video files by staying inside Vegas but I don't know how to write that perfect script that would do the above. Any ideas? I appreciate any thoughts--you would save me about a hundred hours while I'm trying to finish the rough cut in time for the Tribeca Film Festival deadline in December.
