Hi,

I've shot a whole web series on HQ 1080/50i so we have the best of both worlds for a 720p web download and DVD export. (Your thoughts?)

Anyway, now I just want to apply a uniform colour grade to all the 102 clips, trim them and optimize for web (1280x720/25p *.mov)



Any ideas would be better than what I am currently doing-
Premiere CS3 -one clip at a time! 3 hour render per 1080i video, then export to web format

What can batch process/make my life easier?

I have a reasonably capable old edit suite, don't mind trialing a new NLE if absolutely neccessary (Is Edius much better for these tasks?)
(System: AMD 4400+ x2, I'm able to playback 1080p in Premiere's timeline with no drops if I set it up right)



Thanks very much,
Luke
 
Update:


CURRENT WORKFLOW
---
Use HDLink (part of CineForm ProspectHD) to convert 101 clips to 576p

Import into one timeline in Premiere CS3
to trim, create fades, fill audio, do any grades
Export with Encoder, to *.mov 576p

Any way of batch exporting these 101 videos? Or generally a less labourious way to get through this pile of videos?
