Render Project Item To AME
Queues a clip project item to Adobe Media Encoder and can optionally start rendering immediately. item must be a clip project item reference, not a timeline clip ref. Omitted/blank presetPath uses the verified Premiere-installed H.264 Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate preset; omitted/blank outputPath lets AME choose an unspecified destination. waitForCompletion requires startQueueImmediately=true and an explicit outputPath. item must be a project item ref, not a timeline clip/item ref. This block intentionally does not auto-coerce timeline clip usage to the backing project item because that would hide timeline-vs-source rendering semantics. presetPath is optional: absent or blank uses the same verified Premiere-installed H.264 “Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate” system preset as prRenderSequence. Supply an explicit .epr for audio-only, HDR, alpha, mezzanine, or other non-H.264 outputs. outputPath is optional: absent or blank lets AME choose the destination. Automation Agent passes a native empty string rather than undefined/null; on Premiere Pro Beta 27.0 this queued successfully with AME selecting an output next to the source. Treat the exact host-selected location as unspecified and use an explicit path for predictable delivery. range=WORK_AREA is supported only for sequence project items. waitForCompletion=true also requires an explicit outputPath; otherwise completion of the output file cannot be verified. storeResultIn stores boolean success. Use onError to decide whether errors stop the script, continue, or return false when the block supports it. If storeResultIn is set, the block also writes a result variable back to your graph. Use presetPath to choose a preset. Whether it is optional and which default applies depend on the block; see the block notes.
