  • how to export a small section of the timeline- not the whole thing?

    Hi Guys
    I don’t want to export the whole timeline ,just a 10 second shot out of hours of footage on the timeline.
    In fcp I would just set in and out points then export…cant get that to happen here.
    Thanks
    Miles

    Yes it’s a shortcoming of FCPX, I cut and paste the segment into a new project, not ideal I know

    I’m new to Roles so I’m not the expert, but it seems to me that Roles is exactly what you need. Roles makes exporting only what you need a painless task.

    Assign a unique Role identifier to the clip you want to export, then export Roles and enable only that unique Role name.

    See tutorial at:

    On my feature request list.
    Export Compound Clip.

    It’s easy to select a section and make it a compound clip.
    It still has to be moved into a new project even though it’s in a timeline form.
    If it could be exported directly it would be nearly as simple as selecting in and out and export.

    This is what I do now.

    You can nest into a Compound Clip then trim that to the section you want. Or you could export to Compressor and set in/out points there. (Roles wouldn’t do the trick because they will still export the whole timeline.)
