<p>This feature is supported through Adobe Media Encoder (AME) which is basically the background rendering engine for a number of the cloud apps including Premiere and AE. </p>

<p>You need to set up watch folders. So long as AME is running, (I also believe you can have AME run as a background service now - but you may want to double check that) - and you have your preferences in AME correctly set up, any files placed into a watch folder will be processed based on attributes you specify - per watch folder. So you can have a folder where any files that you download or place there will be automatically trans-coded into XYZ format, only when system is idle, etc, then original file should be kept, or moved, or renamed. </p>

<p>AME also allows you to do a number of post processing on the files automatically, such as watermarking, basic image enhancements, etc.</p>

<p>Essentially you specify a watch this folder, then create a template to bake the files placed there. </p>

<p>Documentation for this is online at Adobe and countless tutorial videos exist on YouTube detailing basic and advanced setup solutions. </p>

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. May I also ask if there is a way to burn filenames onto it?

<p>I have a folder with 212 videos in 4k in it, I'd like to make kinda like proxy files out of them, low quality 360p.
It should end up in a seconde folder and still be h.264 so that it can easily be shared and opened everywhere.</p>

<p>Is there a way inside Adobe Creative Cloud to make that?</p>

# Adobe Software: Make low quality videos out of folder with videos

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-01-05)

I have a folder with 212 videos in 4k in it, I'd like to make kinda like proxy files out of them, low quality 360p.
It should end up in a seconde folder and still be h.264 so that it can easily be shared and opened everywhere.

Is there a way inside Adobe Creative Cloud to make that?
