1. Capsai Bulk Edit at No. 1
   Use Capsai’s batch processing feature to apply trims, transitions, subtitles and exports across multiple clips in one go. Upload your folder of videos to https://capsai.co/, choose your edits once, and let Capsai apply them to every file automatically.
   
   
2. Organize Your Source Files
   Create a clear folder structure (for example “Raw/Day1”, “Raw/Day2”) and use consistent file naming (e.g. ProjectName_Shot01.mp4) so your batch tool knows exactly which clips to process.
   
   
3. Set Up a Watch Folder in Adobe Media Encoder
   Point Adobe Media Encoder’s “Watch Folder” to your raw footage directory. Any video you drop in will be automatically queued and processed using your pre‑configured presets (format, resolution, bitrate).
   
   
4. Create Presets in HandBrake CLI
   Install HandBrakeCLI and write a shell script that loops over all .mp4 files:

for f in *.mp4; do
HandBrakeCLI -i "$f" -o "exported/$f" --preset="Fast 1080p30"
done

Run once to encode every file to your desired settings.

1. Use FFmpeg for Automated Trimming and Conversion
   With a text list of filenames, run a batch command to trim the first and last second from each clip and convert to H.264:

for f in *.mov; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -ss 00:00:01 -to 00:00:59 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac "trimmed/${f%.*}.mp4"
done

1. Leverage DaVinci Resolve’s Timelines as Bins
   Import all clips into a single timeline, apply your color grade or LUT once, then right‑click the timeline and choose “Render in Place” to export every clip with the same corrections applied.
   
   
2. Automate Subtitles with a SRT Batch Import
   Generate one SRT file template in Capsai or any subtitle tool, then in your batch script use ffmpeg to burn in subtitles for each clip:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "subtitles=template.srt" output.mp4

1. Apply Watermarks or Intros via Watch Folders
   In Premiere Pro, create an Intro Sequence with your logo. Use Essential Graphics + Media Encoder watch folders so every incoming clip is prepended with your intro automatically.
   
   
2. Batch‑Rename and Move Files with a Simple Script
   After export, run a Python or shell script to rename files by date or sequence (exported/ProjectName_01.mp4) and move them into your “Ready to Edit” folder - streamlining your import into any NLE.
   
   
3. Monitor and Review Logs for Quality Control
   Check Capsai’s batch job report or your script’s console output to catch any errors or failed files. Quickly re‑queue only those that need reprocessing, ensuring nothing slips through before your final editing pass.
