How to batch transcode C300 footage?
I've got a ton of footage from a freelancer that shot on a C300. We've edited the piece perfectly fine in Premiere, but I need to transcode all the footage to .mp4 to give to the client so they can look through it.
Generally I'd just drag and drop the clips into Adobe Media Encoder but apparently the C300 directory structure puts each clip in a separate folder and I can't import a higher level folder into Media Encoder and have it find all the clips. I tried transcoding with Prelude, but it kept crashing. I'd really like to use Media Encoder, is there a way to batch transcode C300 footage with it without having to manually pull each clip from its folder? Thanks! |

If you're on a Mac, just type in the finder search window .mxf and point it to the contents folder. Then drag the clips to AME and you're set. Basic OS search.

I tried that but AME won't let me drag the clips in, I get the crossed out circle when I try.

Re: How to batch transcode C300 footage?
Are you in CS6? Worked great for me for 3 sep shoots I did last week.
You could do the search and copy the results to a new folder then point AME to that. Another option is to send from Premier. You can batch out all the mxf files through AME from inside premier.

Re: How to batch transcode C300 footage?
Yeah, CS6. I'm remotely connected to my work machine, so maybe something is getting wonky with the Logmein connection. I'll try in person tomorrow.
Thanks for the advice! |

Hope it works for you! Saved my arse last week when FCP 7 wouldn't log and transfer my XF footage.

Re: How to batch transcode C300 footage?
As a follow up, is there any way to batch change the destination folder (or set a master destination folder) for all the clips?

Re: How to batch transcode C300 footage?
Embarrassed to say I haven't found that yet! It may or may not exist!
Since I didn't care about the folder structure I just let the files go back to where the mxf files were and used the search to find all mov files in the contents then moved them into their own folder!

Re: How to batch transcode C300 footage?
I don't know about batch transfers, but I've found that Sony XDCAM Transfer using 422HD Codecs (50MBs) setting can open C300 files at clip folder level. From there all functions work the same as Sony clips.
