User Guide

Remove From Source List If Converted OK

Removes filenames from the source list after

the files are converted successfully.

Output Filename Template

Specifies how files are renamed. By default, the first part of the

filename remains the same, and the extension changes to match the chosen output format.
Alternatively, you can type a different extension, and you can set up conditions for how
files are renamed by using question marks and asterisks:

A question mark (“?”) signifies that a character doesn’t change.

An asterisk (“*”) denotes the original filename or extension.

Here are some examples of how filenames can be renamed:

Working with scripts

Adobe Audition lets you create three types of scripts, depending on the software’s state
when you record the script:

Scripts that start from scratch. These scripts start with no waveform opened, and their
first command is File > New.

Scripts that work on the currently open waveform. These scripts operate on an entire
waveform. They require a waveform to be open, but with no selection made. Actions
begin at the current-time indicator position in the waveform, and they affect any data
present at that point.

Scripts that work on a selection. These scripts require a selection to be made first.
Actions in the script apply only to the selection.
