  • Export series of videos based on markers?

    Posted by Ryan Hill on October 17, 2012 at 7:02 pm

    If I were to make a composition and then put markers in it, is there a way to automatically split it into a series of numbered videos and export those?

    To explain, say I have a composition with 15 markers, dividing it into 16 sections, and want to export each section as a video, numbered from 1 to 16. I could manually go through and set the start and end to match the markers, then export, go to the next, but I figured I check out if there’s a way to automate it.

    There might be something here I can modify to do what I want:

    But if there is another obvious solution I’m not thinking of, I’d love to hear it.

    Check out Christopher Green’s scripts [link] — you are interested in Queue_Comp_Sections.jsx.

    Done and done.

    Exactly what I needed. I had 89 output files, with as many as 20 of them in the same composition. And this was a great way to handle them.
