Export clips from timeline one by one

[Nick Meyers]

best thing is to get the clips into BIN in the browser.
you can then do a batch export.
FIle Menu > Batch Export, or right or control click on the items or bin

so as not to tie up FCP, the best thing is to simply export as QuickTime Movies.
if there are no effects on the clips, then you can export as NON-SELF CONTAINED, or REFERENCE movies.
then take those files and run them though compressor.

if the clips are layered, or have rendered effects on them this is what to do:

make a COPY of your sequence, put it in a new bin.
go though the copied sequence defining the bits you want to export, either with in/outs (park on a clip, hit X), or by selecting.
make a NEST of this selection (option C)
name the nest, hit OK,
and it will appear in the bin along with the sequence.

when done, batch export as above.

cheers,

In your timeline, select all the clips and drag them into a new bin. Now just use Batch Export to kick them out individually.

It will use the in/out points from the clips as they are in the bin.
