I'm assuming all the MOVs are in frame siz= es/rates that WMV supports?

1. Create an Output Mo= dule Template for WMV with your desired settings
2. Import all of your MOV footage into the Project panel and make sure= they're all selected
3. Composition>Add to Render Queue
4. Choose your new WMV OM template

Now al= l 124 RQ items will be setup to transcode MOV to WMV.

Hi, Eric,

I can see that method working well, but in this project the precomps (and = there a lot of them) overlap each other quite a bit. That's why the mai= n comps are so long. And when I go from one main to the next main comp, I h= ave the end of the previous comp at the top of the next one to keep the flo= w going. Anyway, rendered 124 pieces over five hours last night. Now to che= ck them out.

And shifting gears a bit, any suggestions for batching = 124 MOVs into WMVs?

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Not sure of the way your files are built= , and this probably won't work since it sounds like your using a lot of= layers across different portions, but could you make pre comps of the bits= you want in each part and then drag all the pre comps over to the render q= ue?

Still works that way in 5.5.

What is so tedious is = creating the work area, then having to make a custom selection. I'm bre= aking down about one hundred clips out of maybe 12 comps.
