automating stills exports
In my workflow, i’m required to export about 10-15 still frames from each project.
I do this, of course, through the file>export>using QT conversion…
I assigned a keyboard shortcut for this command, but what bugs me is that every time i invoke the export using QT conversion, the chosen format (quicktime movie/AIFF/still image etc.) is reverted to “quicktime movie”. is there any way I can default the format to still image instead?Thanks in advance, and a happy new year to all

collect all your stills in one bin,
then use batch export.
read this:
https://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_batch_export.htmlwhen i’ve done his i actually make freeze frames from the clips first.
this has 2 advantages:
one is that there’s no chance of the frame “drifting” from the chosen one like there is if the clip is “live”
two is that i can re-name the freeze to represent that particular frame/image.
you cant do that with a master clip without all instances of it changing, too.then i batch export the whole bin with whatever settings i want.
