Choose defaults in the 'Export multiple' menu box

Post by Aventuro » Wed Sep 16, 2020 5:46 am

Hello.

In my workflow, I constantly use the menu item 'Export/Export multiple'.
Then I check the box 'Include audio before first label'. I also replace 'File name prefix' with always the same string of characters (let's say "A").

Is there a way to set these preferences as defaults? The first item is especially important to me, as I occasionally forget to check the box myself, which completely derails my workflow.

Thank you very much in advance.

No there isn't.

What is the benefit for your task of not adding a label for the start of the first exported file? In other words, why do you add a label for each exported file except the first one?
