  • Export Quicktime Movie – “Export Selection”?

    Posted by Bryan Mailer on November 21, 2012 at 8:22 am

    I have a timeline with many clips involved and would like to export a quicktime movie of just one segment, one clip in the whole sequence.

    Whenever I try to export, it will only export the whole timeline.

    If I want to export just a clip, I have to cut it and make a new project and then export. Since I work with timelines that have different sequence settings, starting a new project often means having to go into those settings and changing before importing the clip I want to export.

    Is there just an “Export Selection” option or the equivalent? I can’t find one.

    Duplicate or copy the sequence, blade out what you don’t want and export the new modified sequence.

    Even easier, mark IN (I) and OUT (O) on your sequence.

    rafael if right, mark in & out points and export.

    but if it really is just ONE CLIP it’s even easier:

    double click the clip into the viewer.
    it will have in/outs plus any fx you may have aded,
    plus it will have the clip name as the export name, which may be good for you.
    easy enough to change that, of course!

    Thanks for the tips. Will try them all going forward.

    I have a sequence with maybe 20 small segments and I want to run a smoothcam filter on each small bit (and thus export it first so I don’t have to wait 4 hours while it smoothcams the whole 60 minute source file).

    Smoothcam did the whole clip in FCP6 but only the part in an edit in FCP7 so unless you have 6 you don’t have to do the export.

    and if you DO have to do the export. Media Manager would be perfect for this.

    select the clip in the timeline, open Media Manager

    Copy Media,
    trim with some small handles
    ask for a new project,
    and you get all the new-meda clips in place, ready to copy / paste back into your edit sequence

    this would not bake in any FX, but for what you need to do, that is probably best
