How can you perform batch processing for multiple clips?

Using the Media Encoder to export multiple sequences at once is an effective method for batch processing in video editing. This approach allows you to queue up various projects or sequences and render them concurrently or in succession, without needing to open each one individually in the editing software.

By utilizing the Media Encoder, you can set different presets for each sequence, ensuring that each clip or project is processed according to your desired specifications. This saves significant time and effort, especially when dealing with multiple clips or complex projects, as it streamlines the rendering process into a single operation.

In contrast, rendering each clip separately would involve handling them one at a time, which can be inefficient. Applying effects individually to each clip does not facilitate batch processing; instead, it focuses on enhancing single clips, making it time-consuming. Merging clips into a single timeline can simplify your project but does not address the need for batch processing and could complicate the individual handling or exporting of various clips. Thus, using the Media Encoder is the most practical and efficient approach for batch processing multiple clips.
