# Job Render In Premiere Action

The **Job Render In Premiere Action V3** node renders a sequence directly in Adobe Premiere Pro.

The node opens the specified Premiere Pro project, creates a dedicated render project, and exports the sequence using the configured Adobe Media Encoder preset. The Helmut panel is required for this operation.

When executed successfully, the node result contains the path of the rendered destination file.

### Input Parameters

#### Premiere Path

The full path to the Adobe Premiere Pro application that should be used for rendering.

Example:

```
/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro 2026/Adobe Premiere Pro 2026.app
```

The configured Premiere Pro version must be installed on the client executing the stream.

***

#### Source File

The complete path to the Premiere Pro project that should be rendered.

The path must include the project file name and extension.

Example:

```
{job.source}
```

***

#### Destination File

The destination path for the rendered output.

For Premiere Pro versions below 25, the path should include the desired file name and extension.

Example:

```
/Volumes/export/{job.name}.mov
```

For Premiere Pro 25.x and newer, the destination can be provided without a file extension. The output extension is then determined by the selected EPR preset.

Example:

```
/Volumes/export/{job.name}
```

***

#### EPR Path

The complete path to the Adobe Media Encoder `.epr` encoding preset used for rendering.

Example:

```
/Volumes/epr/h264/socialmedia.epr
```

The preset defines the codec, format, and other export settings.

***

#### Render Message

The dashboard message displayed while the Premiere Pro export is running.

Example:

```
Rendering with Premiere as user '{user.name}'
```

***

#### Render Done Message

The dashboard message displayed after the export completes successfully.

Example:

```
Rendering with Premiere as user '{user.name}' has been successful
```

***

#### Render IN to OUT

When enabled, only the section between the sequence's configured **In** and **Out** points is rendered.

When disabled, the complete sequence is rendered.

***

#### Close Project When Done

When enabled, the temporary render project created for the export is closed after rendering has finished.

This is useful when the workstation should remain available for additional Premiere Pro operations without leaving the render project open.

***

#### Quit Premiere When Done

When enabled, Adobe Premiere Pro is closed after the rendering process has completed.

Use this option for dedicated render clients or automated workflows where Premiere Pro should not remain running after the export.

***

### Node Result

The node result contains the path of the newly rendered file.

It can be accessed using:

```
{stream.last_result}
```

or:

```
{node.result.?}
```

The returned path can be used by subsequent nodes for further processing, such as importing the file into Cosmo, copying it to another storage, uploading it to a third-party system, or starting another job.

***

### Typical Usage

```
Premiere Path:
/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro 2026/Adobe Premiere Pro 2026.app

Source File:
{job.source}

Destination File:
/Volumes/export/{job.name}

EPR Path:
/Volumes/epr/h264/socialmedia.epr

Render IN to OUT:
false

Close Project When Done:
true

Quit Premiere When Done:
false
```

### Important Notes

* The Helmut panel must be installed and available in Adobe Premiere Pro.
* The configured Premiere Pro application must exist on the client executing the stream.
* The source project must be accessible from the executing workstation.
* The EPR preset must be accessible and compatible with the installed Premiere Pro / Media Encoder version.
* The executing user requires write access to the destination directory.
* For Premiere Pro 25.x and newer, the destination path can be configured without a file extension. The extension is determined from the EPR preset.
* Use **Render IN to OUT** only when valid In and Out points are defined in the target sequence.
