File Naming

Available Tokens:

Pattern Examples:

{SEQ}_V{V}        → MyEdit_V1.mp4
{SEQ}_V{VV}       → MyEdit_V01.mp4
{DATE}_{SEQ}      → 2026-01-09_MyEdit.mp4
{SEQ}_{DATE}_V{V} → MyEdit_2026-01-09_V1.mp4

Export Options

Direct Premiere Export

When enabled, the sequence renders directly within Premiere Pro using exportAsMediaDirect() instead of being sent to Adobe Media Encoder.

Benefits:

• Faster for single exports (no AME queue)
• No need to have Media Encoder running

Limitations:

• ⚠️ Not compatible with batch export - Only the active timeline is exported
• Extension detection is based on preset name (see below)

Preset Extension Detection:

Since Premiere's direct export doesn't auto-detect the file format from presets, the extension is inferred from the preset name:

Note: If your preset name doesn't match any pattern, rename it to include the format (e.g., "My Preset ProRes.epr").

Folders

Folder Depth Explained

The Folder Depth setting controls where the export folder is created relative to your project file:

Project: /Movies/Client/PROJET/project.prproj

Depth 0 → /Movies/Client/PROJET/EXPORTS/     (beside project)
Depth 1 → /Movies/Client/EXPORTS/            (one folder up)
Depth 2 → /Movies/EXPORTS/                   (two folders up)

Typical workflow structure:

00 00 PROJECT_NAME/
├── EXPORTS/          ← Created with Depth 1
└── PROJET/
    └── Project.prproj

How It Works

Single Export

1. Open a sequence in the timeline
2. Click the export button
3. The active sequence is exported with automatic versioning

Batch Export

1. In the Project panel, select multiple sequences (Cmd/Ctrl+click)
2. Click the export button
3. All selected sequences are queued and exported together

SpellBook

Install the official SpellBook app and extension from Knights of the Editing Table. Export Button registers four commands in the Export Button group:

• Export AME Video+Audio
• Export AME Audio Only
• Export Premiere Video+Audio
• Export Premiere Audio Only

These commands use the same naming, folder, versioning, preset, and In/Out settings as the panel. The AME/Premiere mode and Video+Audio/Audio-only preset are forced by the command you choose.

Installation

macOS

Open Terminal.

Easiest method (recommended): drag and drop install_mac.sh into the Terminal window, then press Enter.

Manual method (command line):

cd /path/to/PremiereExportButton
chmod +x install_mac.sh
./install_mac.sh

Windows

Double-click install_windows.bat

Requirements

• Adobe Premiere Pro 15.4 or later
• Adobe Media Encoder (same version)

Troubleshooting

The built-in debug panel shows detailed logs. Common issues:

Changelog

v1.2.0 (2026-03-30)

• UI: Added a fully responsive panel with square, horizontal, and vertical button layouts depending on the available space
• UI: Compact layouts now hide secondary controls so the main export button and download checkbox stay usable in very small panels
• UI: Portrait mode was refined to trigger reliably again and keep a slim vertical button usable in narrow docked panels

v1.1.2 (2026-03-26)

• Fix: Export filenames now keep dots inside the sequence name by always sending Adobe a full filename with the real extension
