I’m looking for a solution to OMB reporters not following export instructions.
Our small market station has one Adobe Premiere 5.5 laptop with a MIFI 3g/4g hotspot so reporters can FTP video from outlying areas without tying up our only photographer/ENG operator (myself).
The system works pretty well, but I keep running into the issue of reporters selecting the wrong export settings (after I created a custom h.264 setting that drops to SD with as little loss as possible), and either trying to upload 400MB files over 3g or getting something with unusable resolution.
I’m just wondering if anyone has found a way to limit the export options ("pick the top one" doesn’t seem to work), or create some kind of macro ("Export SD" or "Export HD" as the only 2 options with hotkeys of some kind). If anyone has more Premiere experience than I do, I would appreciate any ideas.
Thank you
