Replacing master clips with edited clips
I have around 1000 logged clips that have been imported into final cut pro. I need to make the exact same change to each clip due to a camera issue (dead pixels). Anyway, this is nice HD footage and I would prefer to do this with the least quality lost. I can create the edit and paste the filter onto all of the clips very quickly. However, I do not want to go through a thousand clips and export them from the time-line each individually. Is there anyway to edit these clips and export them all at once as separate clips? (With their original file name preferably)
I just want to make a new master set of clips with the filter applied to them already. Is this possible to do easily?

Why not use a dead pixel filter on just the edited clips? LIke this:

Very good one!!!
I have to remember this for the future!!!!
Thanx. -
That will not work for me as I need to deliver all 1000 plus clips to the client clean. They will be editing the footage. We shot the footage but they will be editing it. I need to deliver clean footage to them and the clips need to remain separate, not just one big clip in a timeline. Thank you for the suggestion but I really need a way to edit clips and keep them all separate without exporting a thousand plus times.

Sorry man. At some point your are going to have to make new media which means a render and export. Do you need original timecode as well?

I do not need original timecode

I don’t see how this can be done automatically. Apply a filter, render, then export. In order to fix every clip, you’ll have to fix every clip, then export every clip, then name every clip.
After Effects will name a comp from a clip your drag to it. That might help expedite things. -
it’s really very simple.
put the clips in a timeline, apply the filter to all clips,
copy / paste the clips back to a new bin in the browser,
batch export as QuickTime movies
they will all have the filter, and the new clips will have the same name reel# and TC as the originals.nick

Nick,
This solves the issue
Thank you so much!

WOW! I’m surprised at the fact that so many here have forgotten about the Batch Export feature. This is a very powerful function for doing exactly what Dustin needed. Makes more since to output multiple timelines to Quicktime files, too.
