hi Paul,
have you heard anything new about the mentioned problem?
Still having screwed sleeping patterns?
I might have a workaround for you...
In AME you can set up so called "watch folders". You can tell AME what to do when a file/multiple files lands in the specific folder - what codec and which folder to save.
As i assume, you have one file that has to be encoded to different formats etc. What you could try is to have one main folder with the final clip then create as many folders you need outputs of your clip and make them watch folders with the specific export settings.
Then create an alias of the main file into each of the "watch folders". I'm not quite sure if AME will take the alias and then render the main file. If it doesn't work and you have the time/patience you could copy the main file into the different folders and delete them afterwards.
That could give you a nice calm sleeping pattern :-).
cheers,
Matthias
btw: here some tips on creating an alias on a mac:
Creating an alias
You have several options for creating an alias:
- Drag and drop: Click the item you wish to alias and hold down the mouse button. Then, while holding down the
Command and Option keys, drag the item to where you want the alias to appear. Instead of moving the original item, this will create an alias at the new location.
- Contextual menus: Hold down the
Ctrl key and click the item you wish to alias. From the contextual menu, select Make Alias. The new alias will appear next to the original.
- Keystroke: Select the item you wish to alias, and press
Command-l (the lowercase L). The new alias will appear next to its original.
- File menu: Select the item, and then from the
File menu, select Make Alias. A new alias icon will appear next to the original.
