Output Settings¶

Output Folder¶

Click Browse to select an output folder. A UXP file picker opens — select any folder on your system. Once selected:

• A green checkmark confirms write permission.
• The path preview shows the full output path in monospace text.

If you haven't browsed yet, the Export button shows a warning: "Click Browse in Output Location to grant write permission."

Date Folders¶

When Add date folder is enabled (in Settings), Scrub creates a date-stamped subfolder inside the output directory.

The path preview updates in real time to show the full path including the date subfolder.

Bin Structure Subfolders¶

When Batch: mirror Project Panel bin structure as sub-folders is enabled (in Settings), a batch export routes each sequence into a sub-folder that matches its bin (folder) hierarchy in the Project Panel, created beneath the output folder.

This only applies to batch exports (multiple sequences). Single-sequence exports are unaffected.

Example¶

With output base D:\Deliveries and this Project Panel structure:

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

A batch export with the toggle on writes:

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

With the toggle off (the default), both files land directly in D:\Deliveries\.

Behavior notes¶

• Root-level sequences — a sequence that sits at the project root (no enclosing bin) always exports to the base path, whether the toggle is on or off. No stray folder is created for it.
• Nested bins — the full bin chain is mirrored, outermost folder first. Deeply nested sequences get the complete folder path.
• Illegal characters — bin 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 — the bin path is read at export time, so if you move a sequence to a different bin after adding it to the batch, the export uses its current location.
• Duplicate names — sequences that share a name but live in different bins are naturally separated into different folders, avoiding the file collision they would have in a flat batch.
• Date folders — if Add date folder is also enabled, the date folder is applied first and bin subfolders are created beneath it.

Batch list breadcrumbs¶

When the toggle is on, 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. With the toggle off, the list looks unchanged.

Supported Date 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.
