Only 1 destination folder ? (2 posts)

    I thought I could use DV Kitchen to add the same watermark to hundreds of video files on my harddrive.
    Unfortunately i have to set them up – one at a time – with DV Kitchen since, I can not see how to get my processed files in the same folder where the source came from.
    It seems that DV Kitchen only provides 1 destination folder – not at all what I need.
    I need the results to be “next to” their respective sources – not trying to overwrite each other in 1 destination folder.
    I thought it would take me minutes (build the list & set up the water mark & process ), unfortunately it is going to take days of manual effort – setting up the same watermark individually on each and every video (and I have hundreds).

    Here’s what I would do:

    1. batch process all the files to the new folder
    2. use Automator to rename the new files as you wish
    3. drag the new files into the same folder as the originals

    Will this work?

    Here’s info on batch renaming files:
