  • Exporting to After Effects (round tripping) — 5 second clip!

    Posted by Richard Herd on February 27, 2012 at 10:17 pm

    I can’t figure out how to do this.

    I use the Range Selector but it keeps exporting the whole project file, not just the little bit I selected.

    I’ve been reading the manual but it doesn’t seem to help either.

    I don’t think FCPX supports ranged based exports in its current state.

    This may be just the tool you need (but looks like it only works with FCPX 10.0.2, not .03). It’s pretty cool.

    Good luck.

    The simplest method to export a short range from a project is to select everything, make it into a Compound clip and then trim that clip. Then re-expand. Or send via Compressor which allows you to set shorter pieces…

    ClipExporter exports FCP X clips as Quicktime reference movies. It also translates your entire timelines to After Effects which is a lot faster than the workflow suggested by Jamal Watts. Maybe this helps. See the ClipExporter website.
