Render Sequence

Category: Pr Rendering

Exports a sequence either immediately or by queueing it to Premiere or Adobe Media Encoder. Omitted/blank presetPath uses the Premiere-installed H.264 Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate preset; omitted/blank outputPath lets Premiere choose the output location, which may be temporary. Specify both for non-H.264 or predictable delivery. waitForCompletion is allowed only for target=IMMEDIATELY and requires an explicit outputPath. range=IN_OUT requires explicit sequence in/out points; otherwise the block fails. Exports a sequence using IMMEDIATELY, QUEUE_TO_AME, or QUEUE_TO_APP. presetPath is optional: when absent or blank, the running Premiere installation's H.264 “Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate” system .epr is used. The installed file is checked before export; if it is missing or is not the expected H.264 preset, supply an explicit .epr. Supply a different .epr for audio-only, HDR, alpha, mezzanine, or other non-H.264 deliverables. An explicit preset always wins. outputPath is optional: when absent or blank, Premiere chooses the output location (which can be temporary). Automation Agent checks filesystem WRITE permission for an explicit output path, but cannot constrain a destination selected internally by Premiere or AME. Specify an absolute output path for predictable, permission-scoped delivery; derive its extension with prGetExportFileExtension for the selected preset. Both native path arguments are passed as strings, never undefined/null. sequence is optional; the active sequence is used by default. range=ENTIRE exports the full sequence explicitly. range=IN_OUT exports the current sequence in/out range explicitly and fails if no explicit sequence in/out is set. If range is omitted, the block keeps Premiere's current implicit behavior for backward compatibility. waitForCompletion is supported only for target=IMMEDIATELY. waitForCompletion=true also requires an explicit outputPath; otherwise completion of the output file cannot be verified. When waitForCompletion=true, do not infer that the host returns a final output path; the block still stores only boolean success in storeResultIn. If sequence is omitted, the block uses the active sequence when supported. 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.

Examples

Render Active Sequence With Preset

Builds an explicit output path from a preset-derived extension, then renders the active sequence directly.

Render Sequence Marker Ranges

Renders one safely named file per non-zero-duration active-sequence marker. The setup dialog offers an optional `.epr` preset; leaving it empty uses the Premiere-installed H.264 Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate preset.

Render Sequence With Embedded Preset As ABSCRIPT Build Spec

Portable ABSCRIPT BUILD SPEC example that prompts for an `.epr` preset file, embeds it, derives the output suffix, and renders the active sequence. This is the portable embedded-preset counterpart to the runtime render patterns that use known preset paths.
