Can i export multiple clips at once from the Event Viewer?

[Noah Kadner]

Not all in one single command but you can select and share each one individually. And if you’re about to say, where’s the batch export?! Couldn’t agree more.

Jesus christ, it’s gonna take a while to export over 800 clips.

is it possible to change the Cmnd + E button so it tries to export it with the setting I made for timecode rather than the default master setting? I tried doing this and couldnt find a way. It’ll save me time to just hit Cmnd+E rather than going through everything and going to the share menu.

In the destinations window right click on your setting and choose “make default”

Last time I had to do something like that, I saved my sanity by using Resolve to batch export the clips with the clip name and time code burnt in.

Jeff,

How did you do that? I have Resolve Lite on my computer but have never used it before.

Thanks as always for the help. This forum is such a lifesaver….

In my case I just and to send a stringout of each event, because the guys on the other end didn’t want to be dealing with hundreds of individual clips, but it’d work for individual clips too. I’d also already imported everything into FCPX so exported to Resove from there but I could have just started in Resolve and brought everything into FCPX later.

Anyway, coming from FCPX, I edited all the clips in an event onto a timeline. I exported xml and then brought that into Resolve. In Resolve, you now have the same timeline so go to the color section, and use the burn-in pane to add the clip name and timecode. In resolve you have access to the both the project and clip timecode.

Then go the render section and in the settings panel, tell Resolve to export individual clips with no handles. Start the render and job done, sanity saved.

As mentioned, if I hadn’t already started in FCPX, I could have saved a step and just brought all the clips into the Resolve media pool, and made the timeline directly in Resolve.

I guess this might not work if you wanted to add timecode that resets to to zero for each clip but I’m not sure I know of anything that could do that.

string out and then use this plug https://www.coremelt.com/products/source-timecode.html

I use coremelts filter too. The latest version includes source and clip tc as well as clip name if you want it.

It’s not the fastest filter though.

Another alternative is to put clips in Compressor which has a timecode filter that add tc burn in.

note you can set up scripts to automate this like with automator, keyboard maestro, or something like FCPXporter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKFZL7jwaS8

It seems to me FCPXporter only does project files and doesn’t do batch exports of clips. Am i right about this?
