@miltloos1 -Just a few extra AHK code entries you may find useful. Add to the to the head of your AHK script:
Values below are examples.
SetKeyDelay,50 This slows down the keypresses. Very useful to stop AHK going faster than the program can handle.
SetDefaultMouseSpeed, 8 This alters the speed of the mouse movement. A value of say 4 makes it go slower which can be useful.
CoordMode, mouse, screen (or CoordMode, mouse, relative) If you use mouse coordinates this makes them relative to the edge of you screen, or relative to the edges of the window you’re in. Can be useful.
PS You could always also use the LOOP feature, example
Loop, 3 {
}
(Whatever code you put inside the curly brackets will be repeated 3 times.) Just an idea.
I create my own voiceovers with speechelo.com ai from text.
And for ai auto generated subtitles I use veed.io
Most of my effects I do with Adobe after effects.
I started using Wondershare UniConverter to convert 300 MOV to Mp4 at once keeping the names.
Works well a few errors but just press the button again and it works fine.
Hey @miltloos@miltloos1
Can I suggest an alternative solution, sort of because I did it yesterday and it worked flawlessly.
If you can take the burden of installing ffmpeg onto your pc, then you should proceed below.
So I have a Windows 10 64bit system, and I wanted to compress a lot of my project files into manageably-sized formats. Hence, I installed ffmpeg into my system.
I put all my video files into a folder, and named the folder “Project files” and created another folder within the same directory. Next I clicked on the address bar of windows explorer and typed cmd, pressed enter.
The command prompt window opened, I typed the below code into it:
for %i in (*. mp4) do ffmpeg -i %i -c:v libx265 -c:a copy “C:\Project Files\Files\%~ni.mp4”
And pressed enter. After a couple of hours the conversion was done. The sizes reduced from 2.2GB to 400MB and the names remained the same as the original files. This was my use case.
In your case, you can do the same just change the command as:
for %i in (*.mov) do ffmpeg -i %i -c:v [libx265 or libx264 (libx265 yeilds smaller sizes than linx264)] -c:a copy “address of a different folder than source folder\%~ni.mp4”
If you’re interested, I’ll send a link to a website where I read how to install ffmpeg or you can do it yourself.
Hi, thanks for the suggestions but I have a working solution now so no need for more help on MOV to MP4. I just did another 129 files no problems at all.
Thank you all!
Now that miltloos’s immediate prooblem has found a solution, I would like to defer back to @brian’s thoughts on implementing a true batch export feature, maintainig original file names.
I am also very interested in this feature - actually I was surprised that this was not possible. Way back last year, when I ran into the challenge of converting some 50 *.avi files to *.mp4 I found Handbrake a nice solution.
I was directed to this thread by @Hudson555x from https://forum.shotcut.org/t/export-individual-playlist-names/23643. This discussion is exactly what i was looking for. I have digitized many VHS tapes and i am using Shotcut to manually cut them into scenes (PyScenedetect isn’t working well for me ). I have named each clip and added it to the playlist. For now, I use the export “Each Playlist Item” option and then sequentially copy the clip name from the .mlt file in notepad. It would be fantastic to have an option to name the exported file with the clip name. I have also used the “Set Creation Time” option, can that be used for the “Date created” parameter of the exported file? Thank you so much for all the hard work @brian, great program!
I have recently become aware of a separate freeware piece of software, called Shutter Encoder, which could probably batch process MOV files to MP4 as several have requested, leaving the original filename intact. I have only kicked the tires on this program a little but, but others have touted it as a suitable replacement for Handbrake.

The latest released beta includes the multi-file name feature that was discussed here. Please go to the thread, download the beta to test out the feature and give your feedback on it.
Not to distract from the excellent functions and ever improving features in Shotcut. But I used “Any video converter” (free version) to batch convert all of my various formats to MP4, quick clean and let you maintain as original or reset most anything, codec framerates bitrates etc to your preference. All files compacted consistent and ready to edit in shotcut!
