Use target directory to specify the directory where you want your transcoded file written and in the name pattern field you can specify the new name for your transcoded file. By default the new filename has _transcoded at the end but that can be removed if you’d like. For the name pattern you can either replace the file name entirely or if you want to append it you can simply add text after [filename]. So if your source file is named “Weekend_Performance” and you use the name pattern [filename]_2024, your transcoded file will be named Weekend_Performance_2024.
For the new file name, if you’d like to modify the name you can type in your own string of characters or, if you’d like to include some portion of the file path in the transcoded file name you can use wildcards. The wildcard for the file name is simply [filename] while the wildcard for the file path is [../../dirname], where dirname represents the folder where the source file is located and each instance of ../ represents one directory above. So for example if your file path and name is E:\Connex Testing\Camera Media\Arri\A05_060422_DAY_13\A005A3XM\A005C001_220604_A3XM.mov and you want your name to be A05_060422_DAY_13_A005C001_220604_A3XM, for name you’d want to use the string [../dirname]_[filename] because the directory name is coming from the folder one level above the folder where the source file is located.
Choose your codec and quality setting but note that the transcode node does not do frame rate conversions. This means that if your source file is 1080i59.94, only codecs that support that resolution/frame rate will work properly. For frame rate conversions use Loki.
