It would be a game-changer if we had batch video export and a built-in low-resolution export option. Currently, exporting multiple videos and then converting them separately is quite a hassle. 
This feature would save us so much time and make client deliveries a breeze!

I agree.
Edit your post to include āfeature requestā.

+1 for Cubase too
yep +1

Yeah that would be cool. Not a game changer for me though. That might be more exporting in a format that does take as much space.
my +1 to that!

Iām reaching out to inquire if anyone knows how we can directly contact the developers to ensure theyāre aware of this essential feature request for Nuendo. Specifically, Iām referring to the capability to export a single video in either low or high resolution, as well as the ability to batch export videos in both resolutions. I feel that while Steinberg has been focusing on innovations like Atmos and surround sound, crucial features like these are sometimes overlooked. However, integrating these functionalities into Nuendo would significantly enhance its utility and set it apart even further in the industry. Personally, there are instances where I urgently need to export multiple videos in low resolution, and relying solely on the Nuendo video export isnāt feasible due to time constraints and file size concerns. Instead, I resort to using another video editing software for batch exporting. I strongly believe that implementing these features would greatly benefit the Nuendo user community and streamline our workflows. If anyone has insights on how we can ensure the developers take our requests into consideration, please share your thoughts.

As mentioned in the second post above from @MattiasNYC, including āFeature Requestā in the title of this topic would help. Also you mention the idea of ālow resolutionā but what would be your ideal precise format which corresponds to your idea of low resolution? - in other words what precise ālow resolutionā format do you currently use in other conversion software?
Hi Stingray.
Currently, when I import a low-resolution 30-second video, say around 20MB, and then proceed to export it, Nuendo automatically defaults to a bitrate of 35Mb/s. This results in a disproportionately large output file compared to the original.
Since Nuendo is increasing the file output of that 20MB video, it begs the question: why donāt we have the option to decrease it? The feature request would be to provide users with the flexibility to decrease the bitrate of the video export.
What would greatly enhance our workflow as a second feature request is the implementation of a batch video export similar to what we have for audio with locators export.
The ability to change resolution would certainly be a welcome addition, especially when working with portrait video modes like 1080x1920, but itās not the primary concern, as weāre typically creating video preview material rather than final deliverables.
Absolutely. Understood that and I agree it would be helpful to be able to change the bitrate. However, IMO as a feature request it would be worth being more specific since video file formats can vary enormously. For example, what is the typical format of that 20MB video file? Iād suggest you use MediaInfo to analyse that video file and then post the details here.
Hi Stingray! Thanks for your response!
Regardless of the source video format, Nuendo currently exports all videos in MP4 H.264 format. The 20MB video weāre talking about is a low resolution and low bitrate 838Kbps MP4 H.264 format, which is why itās only 20MB. However, when exported from Nuendo, itās upscaled to 35 Mbit/s. This means that the size of the exported video becomes significantly larger, potentially exceeding 120MB.
To experience this firsthand, I suggest importing a video from WhatsApp into Nuendo and then exporting it from Nuendo. Upon export, youāll likely notice a considerable increase in file size compared to the original. This showcases the impact of the upscaling to 35 Mbit/s during the export process.
In my opinion, the optimal solution would be to retain the MP4 H.264 export format, the resolution (which can be implimented at a later stage) , and the frame rate, but allow users to adjust the bitrate. This way, users can control the file size according to their preferences and requirements.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this 
The additional bitrate does not improve the original resolution. why not try the new Replace Audio in Video feature. It embeds your mix by keeping the original video intact. no time-consuming re-renders needed.

Yes, I know.
And to re-iterate. Yes I agree it might be useful to allow users to change the bitrate.
My point was and remains that if you are making a feature request it may have also been helpful to provide more precise information about what video file format you would ideally expect and use.
AFAIK the OP is not trying to improve the original resolution.
Thatās a good solution but does not work for all video formats (which unfortunately is not made clear in the manual).
Hi Stingray!
In my experience, the MP4 H.264 format works seamlessly and is widely used in the industry, particularly here in the Middle East region and Arab countries. As someone who produces over 30% of the TV, radio, and social media ads in this area, as well as many others worldwide, I consistently receive content in MP4 H.264 format. Therefore, I believe itās one of the most suitable formats for our needs.
My suggestion would be to maintain the current format but allow for adjustments in the bitrate as needed. And most importantly, we need the batch video export.
In that case @RadioTal 's suggestion that you use the āReplace Audio in Videoā function would seem to be a good one, since this specifically supports h264 in an MP4 container, and as stated the original video format is retained.
But I agree it would still be helpful to have a bitrate choice in the main export video function.
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for your helpful tip! I had no idea that we could export and replace audio in multiple videos simultaneously. Prior to your tip, I had been rendering videos one by one using the ārender new video fileā option, which was quite time-consuming or batch rendering in another software.
And to be honest, I initially assumed that the āreplace audioā feature would also require rendering each video individually. Learning that it can be done in bulk is a game-changer for me!
Your insight has significantly streamlined my workflow, and Iām truly grateful for it.
Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
