Output Settings¶

Output Folder¶

The main Deliverables view shows a read-only Output Location preview: the computed output path in monospace, a ✓ (write permission granted) or ⚠ (permission missing) badge, and an Edit button.

Click Edit (or the gear icon → Output Location) to set and build the path in Settings:

• Browse — pick the output base folder. Selecting a folder grants Scrub write permission and updates the badge to ✓.
• Folder structure builder — add static and dated folder segments beneath the base path (see Folder Structure).

If you haven't granted permission yet, the Edit button turns primary and the Export button shows a warning to set the output location in Settings.

Folder Structure¶

In Settings → Output Location, build a nested folder tree beneath the base path. Two segment types:

A live preview shows the full computed path as you build it, and the path preview on the main view updates to match. (There is no longer a single "Add date folder" checkbox — a date folder is just a dated segment.)

Sub Folders¶

The Sub Folders dropdown (in Settings → Export) controls where each export file is placed under the output path. It applies to both Selected (single-sequence) and Batch exports. Three modes:

Mirror Bin example¶

With output base D:\Deliveries, Mirror Bin mode, and this Project panel structure:

Project
├── 01_Promos
│    └── Spot_30  (sequence)
└── 02_Social
     └── Reel_A   (sequence)

the export writes:

D:\Deliveries\01_Promos\Spot_30_MASTER.mov
D:\Deliveries\02_Social\Reel_A_MASTER.mov

Behavior notes¶

• Root-level sequences — in Mirror Bin mode, a sequence at the project root (no enclosing bin) exports to the base path with no stray folder.
• Nested bins — the full bin chain is mirrored, outermost folder first.
• Illegal characters — bin and sequence names are sanitized for the file system. Characters that are illegal on Windows or macOS (<>:"/\|?*) are stripped, so a bin named A/B or My:Seq produces a safe folder name and never escapes the output path.
• Export-time accuracy — bin paths are read at export time, so moving a sequence to a different bin after adding it to a batch uses its current location.
• Duplicate names — sequences that share a name but live in different bins land in different folders. Where two output files would still collide in one run (e.g. flat None mode with same-named sequences), Scrub auto-suffixes the filename (_2, _3, …) to avoid overwriting.
• Date folders — dated folder segments are applied first; sub-folders are created beneath them.

Batch list breadcrumbs¶

In Batch scope with Mirror Bin mode, the batch sequence list shows a muted breadcrumb (e.g. 01_Promos /) above each sequence name so you can see where each file will land.

Supported Date Formats¶

Dated folder segments and the {date} suffix token share the same 13 formats:

Output Filename¶

Each export produces a file named:

{SequenceName}{Suffix}.{Extension}

Example¶

With sequence "EP01_FinalCut", suffix "_DLG", and an H.264 preset:

EP01_FinalCut_DLG.mp4

Folder Permission Modal¶

If you click Export without having browsed for a folder, a permission modal appears:

1. It explains that Scrub needs write permission.
2. If a project folder is detected, it's shown as a recommended location.
3. Click Select Folder... to open the file picker.
4. After selecting a folder, the export continues automatically.
