How can I batch encode from PPro?

[lantern]

Is there any way to setup batch encoding of Premiere Pro projects?

I am using PPro 1.5 and need to export 4 projects. I wanted to set this up to run over the weekend. However, I can't find anything that would load/frameserve the prproj files the PPro creates and I can't load multiple instances of PPro to have them all running at once.

So, does anyone know of a way to have PPro open multiple projects and then batch encode/export them or is there some program that can load the prproj files and frameserve them to an encoder?

Thanks!

Ppro alone does not offer this function. however hardware like Matrox cards with their media tools encoder, which installs itself in ppro wil do this for u.

Can you tell me how to do this or where to find the info? I do have the Matrox hardware installed. Thank you very much

No where in your comp. details does it say u have matrox installed. Cheers for the attitude though.

Batch encoding will happen not through PPro, but through your Matrox card..Have a look at the documentation...
I know you can batch export multiple filetypes from the same timeline (ie. .WMV, MPG, .AVI, .MOV), but i doubt you can export multiple projects...

Good luck!!!
