  I need to edit a large set of videos through a very specific process. My workflow is pretty simple. Add a Watermark, a specific intro video and apply invert effect on the video.

  As mentioned in the comments, I realized that Premiere Pro was the wrong tool for the job. Thanks to username_1 I got started with ffmpeg.
  
  For the sake of any future users who might want something like this, I thought I'd share my solution.
  
  The following Command helps me convert my wmv source file to mp4 with a png watermark in the bottom right corner and the source video negated (colour inverted).
  
  `ffmpeg -i source.wmv -i logo.png -c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -strict -2 -q:a 100 -max_muxing_queue_size 9999 -filter_complex "[1]format=yuva444p,colorchannelmixer=aa=0.8[logo];[0]fps=fps=30, negate=1[flip];[flip][logo]overlay=x=(main_w-overlay_w):y=(main_h-overlay_h)" output_file.mp4`
  
  I also made a gist with the broken down commands for each of my requirements. ffmpeg is blazing fast too!
