Export a timeline as individual clips

If your export settings match the timeline it should be the same. As always.

This doesn't seem to work if I change the aspect ratio of the timeline. Here's what I want to do: I shot a bunch of clips in 4K. I want 9:16 versions of all those clips so I made a 1080x1920 timeline and dropped all my clips in there. I don't need to reframe anything as I shot with this intention. Now I want to batch export everything in the timeline but to individual clips. Is there any way to do this in my situation?

Sorry for the late reply!

Did you choose the right media encoder version? Do you also have version 24? If not you need to change it. Other than that I wouldn´t know why it won´t work. You could try to aks chatGPT for help which is what I did. Or reinstall extendedScript and VisualStudio. 

I followed your video, but it did not work for me. I try to run the code, then visual studio prompts me to pick a debugger, I choose ExtendScript, and then nothing happens. The whole "select debug mode" and "select host application" does not show for me. I am not a coder, but figuring this out would really help my work flow. Here is my code currently. 

var myPre = 'C:\\Users\\James\\Documents\\Adobe\\Adobe Media Encoder\\24.0\\Presets\\mp4_h264.epr'; // MP4-Preset

for (var i = 0; i < app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips.length; i++) {
    // Destination of the clips
    var dest = 'C:\\JetPros Marketing Drive\\Social Media\\Videos\\Compelling\\N411PC Citation Encore Ramp\\' + app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[i].name + '.mp4'; // .mp4 Erweiterung hinzugefügt

    // Start- und Endzeitpunkte des Clips in Sekunden
    var clipIn = app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[i].start.seconds;
    var clipOut = app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[i].end.seconds;

    // Erstellen der Time-Objekte für den In- und Out-Punkt
    var TimeIn = new Time();
    TimeIn.seconds = clipIn;

    var TimeOut = new Time();
    TimeOut.seconds = clipOut;

    // In- und Out-Punkte der Sequenz setzen
    app.project.activeSequence.setInPoint(TimeIn.seconds, 4);
    app.project.activeSequence.setOutPoint(TimeOut.seconds, 4);

    // Die Sequenz in die Encoder-Warteschlange einfügen
    try {
        app.encoder.encodeSequence(app.project.activeSequence, dest, myPre, 1, 0);
    } catch (e) {
        alert("Fehler beim Encoden: " + e.message);
    }
}

// Starten des Batch-Encodings
$.sleep(1000); // Kurze Verzögerung, um sicherzustellen, dass alles in der Warteschlange ist
app.encoder.startBatch();

I also made a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNiX1dzalyY

Awesome, thank you! For anyone using this method, make sure to select Range - Source In/Out in the export panel, below the preview, before sending to Media Encoder or export.

I had the same problems today and found a solution.

I found a script on this reddit post which automated nesting the individual clips and put them into media encoder for export. With this method you can export them with effects and in a few seconds. https://www.reddit.com/r/premiere/comments/zkwspu/batch_export_clips_in_timeline_automatically/

However the reddit script wasn´t working for me so I fixed it with ChatGPT.

To run the code you will need Visual Studio and Adobe Extended Script Debugger.

Then create a .JSX file and run the code. In the reddit post is also an old tutorial but everything is a little bit different now.

You also need to export a Media encoder preset. Here is my fixed code with the help of chatGPT

var myPre = 'C:\\Users\\S\\Documents\\Adobe\\Adobe Media Encoder\\24.0\\Presets\\mp4_h264.epr'; // MP4-Preset

for (var i = 0; i < app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips.length; i++) {
    // Destination of the clips
    var dest = 'C:\\Users\\S\\Desktop\\' + app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[i].name + '.mp4'; // .mp4 Erweiterung hinzugefügt

    // Start- und Endzeitpunkte des Clips in Sekunden
    var clipIn = app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[i].start.seconds;
    var clipOut = app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[i].end.seconds;

    // Erstellen der Time-Objekte für den In- und Out-Punkt
    var TimeIn = new Time();
    TimeIn.seconds = clipIn;

    var TimeOut = new Time();
    TimeOut.seconds = clipOut;

    // In- und Out-Punkte der Sequenz setzen
    app.project.activeSequence.setInPoint(TimeIn.seconds, 4);
    app.project.activeSequence.setOutPoint(TimeOut.seconds, 4);

    // Die Sequenz in die Encoder-Warteschlange einfügen
    try {
        app.encoder.encodeSequence(app.project.activeSequence, dest, myPre, 1, 0);
    } catch (e) {
        alert("Fehler beim Encoden: " + e.message);
    }
}

// Starten des Batch-Encodings
$.sleep(1000); // Kurze Verzögerung, um sicherzustellen, dass alles in der Warteschlange ist
app.encoder.startBatch();

You will need to Change the username "S" to your windows username and the export location to your desired location and you need to name the preset "mp4_h264.epr" and you also need to change the path after Adobe Media Encoder to the version you have.

When I do this, the resulting clips don't have in and out points. Has anyone else encountered this issue and (hopefully) found a solution?

Yea, it's a totally ridiculous pain point that should never have been like this. From the beginning of this app, exporting media for another app to use has been required in so many workflows.

And while you can do a render & replace operation to kinda do this, it isn't possible in all situations and is a right pain.
