How can you batch export using Quicktime Conversion??

I was wanting to batch export several videos using the standard quicktime conversion. How can I do that or is it not possible? Thanks!

Select all of your sequences that you wish to export, right click and select "batch export". Then apply your settings...

To export w/current settings, leave the default setting. To use a custom setting like that of QT Conversion, choose Quicktime Custom (or something like that)...

Make sure you set your destination, etc...

I'm not sure what you mean by "videos" in this context, but you can easily batch export clips from a sequence using the Export Queue window with full QT support. Otherwise, I think the answer is no.

So for just Quicktime converstion, I can just select Quicktime Custom and it will do the same thing?

By videos, i mean 3 minute interviews. I have been doing "quicktime conversion" to export all of these and not touching any of the settings. To save time, I was hoping to just do a batch export using "quicktime conversion", so that is how i am asking to do. Would Quicktime Custom option be equivalent to Quicktime Conversion?

OK, so video = sequence... Christina's suggestion should do exactly what you want. The Export Queue allows you to specify your settings just as "export using QT conversion" does.

That's what I said...

Okay great! And if i do not want to make any changes at all to the settings, then the normal Quicktime Custom should do the trick?

Thanks!

time to learn compressor. Pretty simple and allows you to customize the settings and save them. You can select a bunch of clips or sequences in the browser and "send" to compressor, or export quicktimes (not quicktime conversion) with current settings and drag these files into compressor.
