Duplicate and increment, user command

Sir_Ivan

USER: It would also be really nice to be able to create a User Command with the Duplicate and Increment function so that users can decide how the sequences are named.

Added in 1.1.2

Wait where are the settings for duplicate and iterate!? Right now it just adds _002 to the end of the sequence names?

JOBID-sequence_name-e##-AJR

and want the e## to iterate, not to add a _002 to the end of that naming.

Another Keyboard Maestro script I've already made that I'd be happy to replace! Ha.

Sir_Ivan

adamjrichman Create user command with "Duplicate and Increment" and there you will be able to create your custom sequence name.

Very nice... I think this is working well! Another Keyboard Maestro script (almost) replaced...

Only problem I'm facing is it places the old sequence in a folder called "Archived Sequences" instead of where I want it...

~/Edits/Ω History

I keep Premiere loaded with only two root bins:

~/Edits
~/Footage

~/Footage is a Watchtower sync to the project's Footage folder. ~/Edits is where all the sequences get organized (specifically with "E" so it alpha-sorts above the "F" in Footage). I keep my archived sequences at the end of the folder list by using the Omega, which is easy to get to via ⌥+Z.

I want the ability to define where these sequences go. Is this possible?

Sir_Ivan

Haha, love you log notes!

Rename "Archived Sequences" to "Ω History" and it will work. Special bins names can be changed, Excalibur will find them.
Same goes for "Special Items" -> "Assets".

At some point I will add option to define default names for special bins in Excalibur, so there will be no need to rename them.

Never replied, but moving the assets to the renamed folders worked great!
