This is what an audiovisual technician expects to find in such an assistant. In fact, the audiovisual technicians and artists of the union flee from unnecessary complications and especially from assistants without any logic that can even ruin our work.<br><br>A batch render window has to be explained with just two lines, we are NOT trying to pilot a Boeing 747, we are only trying to do a batch render. Igor to justify the button "Save to EDL Path" has had to write an extensive article ... and it turns out that when an audiovisual technician wants to test different color settings of a project, for example, he will make several .xml versions with the Save as option, which is what this option is for.<br><br>Something is NOT being done well if for a simple task a long and confusing article is needed to explain the operation of options without sense or work logic in the audiovisual environment.<br><br>I honestly would not ask any programmer to spend a second of their precious time making hidden and advanced menus of some functions that nobody is going to use, I would simply eliminate the two options mentioned, "Save to EDL Path" and "Warn if jobs/session mismatchet "because no one expects a render window to make changes to the project, beyond the render settings, and what no one expects and wants is a render window that can destroy your work.
