  • Batch Export Multiple Clips on the Timeline

    Posted by John Smith on February 23, 2017 at 1:14 am

    Hi,

    I’m trimming numerous raw footage clips to export as individual clips. I’m searching for a method to improve my workflow efficiency and hopefully automate the process. Here is the workflow provided by the previous editor.

    1. Paste all clips into the timeline.
    2. Trim each clip
    3. Select each clip by pressing “X”.
    4. Press “E” to Export.
    5. Press “Return” to Add to Queue.
    6. Move on to next clip. Rinse and repeat.

    Is there a quicker way to add individual clips on the timeline to the Export media batch queue?

    Thanks,
    John

    Well, you could choose all the clips in the project panel, right click and choose export and they’ll show up in Media Encoder as individual clips, but since you have to trim them, if you’re not adding transitions, you should put each clip in its own sequence instead of one timeline, then select all of the sequences in the project panel, right click and export. No need to rinse and repeat ????

    I’m sure someone else will probably have another approach using keyboard shortcuts, but until then…

    here’s two more ways.
    1. right click, nest and they appear in project, then cmd + m queue
    2. make subclip and queue

    if you don’t want to nest…

    you can mark in and out in the sequence around a clip or clips and use the Sequence>create sub sequence

    to create a sequence of just that range…

    then multi-select in the project panel…and export queue to media encoder….

    Hi! ☺

    I was facing the same problem and downloaded the Trial Version of Autokrama AutoCodecs. The problem is, its still incredibly timeconsuming to single-export or single-mark every trimmed clip in the timeline.

    My solution was the workaround with Davinci Resolve, which is actually free…

    1. You select your clips, put them in your timeline
    2. You export the whole timeline to Davinci Resolve via Export -> Export Final Cut Pro XML
    3. You Import them to Davinci and go to the Delivery Tab
    4. In the export settings, choose “Individual Clips” and thats it, all your clips exported the trimmed version you chose in Premiere in under 2 minutes ☺

    Cheers
    Josh

    premiere’s project manager has a way to render out the clips from subclips and make new clips from the trimmed sources. I don’t know if that’s exactly what you want, but its step 1 of safely sending clips to other NLE’s without worrying about spanned clips.

    Hi John (and everyone that needs the same solution)

    We believe we have solved this long awaited problem.

    With our new extension you can export individual clips from your timeline in a single click.

    We have also track and clip filtering options.

    And custom file name variables.

    If that sounds good, you check it out here:

    We hope you enjoy it!
