ADOBE AUDITION 213 User Guide Output Filename Template The names of files in your batch can be modified before being saved to the Destination folder. When running a batch, the processed file's extension will automatically change to that of the format chosen using the Output Format control (for instance, *.aif for Apple AIFF). You can, however, force another extension or alter the first part of the filename by using the Output Filename Template. There are two characters to use when altering the Output Filename Template: • A question mark ("?") will signify that a character doesn't change. • An asterisk ("*") will denote the entire original file name or entire original file extension. Here are some examples of how filenames will be saved given the original file name and the filename template: zippy.aif toads.pcm funny.mp3 biglong.au bart.wav * .wav q*.voc b au * x.wav zippy.wav qtoads.voc bunny.mp3 bigl.au bartx.wav Output Format This selects the file format that all processed waveforms will be saved to. You may choose from any of Adobe Audition's supported file types, as well as enter any appropriate options for the target format by pressing the Change Options... button, if available. Change Options Press this button to view options (and optionally change them) for each highlighted sample type setting in the Format Options box. Note: You would almost always use the Scan List button (described below) before clicking on Change Options. Scan List Pressing the Scan List button causes Adobe Audition to look through all of the files in the Source Files list and examine their sample rate, bit depth, channels and file type. After this is done, the options can be set for the output format, depending on the properties of the input. Disable Undo Check this box to disable the saving of undo information for the duration of the batch run. Unless the script was written expecting the Undo function to be enabled, this is a completely safe thing to do. Plus, it speeds up processing since undo information doesn't continually need to be saved on your hard drive. Overwrite Existing Files Check or uncheck this box to control overwriting. • With this option checked, files will always be saved to the Destination folder after performing the script, regardless of whether a file of the same name already exists at this location. • If this box is unchecked, and the destination filename already exists, the batch will not even attempt to run the script on the file in question, but skip it instead.
