Output Notes
The source files are kept unchanged when you use a separate output folder. Run a small test before processing a large batch.
FAQ
Why did the output count differ from the maximum setting?
The final count can be limited by source files, matching rules, duration, duplicate rules, or skipped unsupported files.
Can I reuse the same settings?
Yes. Save the configuration and reuse it for repeated batch workflows.
Tips
- Keep input folders clean and consistently named.
- Use a dedicated output folder for every batch.
- Review logs after each run before deleting source material.
