There must be a way to do this - in Davinici it's literally a check box on export.

Please can someone help me

I have actual use cases where I had to do this in Resolve to save a lot of time. One of my clients requires me to create a "Best of" selection of the footage that I shot. I shoot in 4K, but they require only 1080p.

In Resolve, you simply throw all your clips on the timeline, cut away the parts you don't need and then, in the Deliver tab, you select Individual clips and it renders them out as such.

In PPro this is not possible. And it should be.

I stumbled upon a couple of other options that may prove useful to everyone, especially if you have lots of clips to export.

I just ran upon this thread, somewhat by accident, that started several years ago and thought I'd provide a different solution for anyone wanting to use it. While using the Project Manager (as suggested) to export individual clips is useful and valuable, by consolidating and transcoding, here's a different way.

If your sequence contains all the cuts for each clip you want to export individually, this should work for you. Start with creating a new bin in your project (to make things easier). Then select all the clips in the sequence and drag to the bin. The cursor should change to a hand with a plus symbol. After dropping this onto the new bin a new clip will be created. This is essentially an in and out point of the primary clip. You can double-click each one to see the in and out point. You can also rename them so each clip, when exported, will be named separately.

Then select all the clips in the bin, right-click and choose Export Media. All the clips will be selected for export. Personally, I send them to Media Encoder, but I do believe that merely exporting from Premiere will export them all using the same settings.

I hope this helps.

One thing I should mention, make sure before exporting to tick the box to "Include clip and sequence markers". This is in the Metadata section in the Premiere Pro export settings. Otherwise, all the clips will ignore the in and out points.

Then, if you're using Media Encoder, make sure you confirm the Source Range of all the clips to export by selecting all the clips in the Queue (the preset should be set to Custom) and click on the top Custom link to open the settings for all the selected clips. This will open the settings to show the export preview. Set the Source Range to Clip In/Out to so that you only export that portion of the entire sequence. I hope this provides further clarification.

I recently discovered that in the more recent versions of Premiere Pro, the option in the Export window, Include clip and sequence markers, has been removed. There is now only a Include Markers option. It seems the same process will work to export clips using Premiere Pro 2023 and 2024 using this same workflow, and checking the Include Markers and exporting to Media Encoder.

Exporting using project manager without the effects or lumetri grade is NOT the same, and its not the answer to this quetion. The answer to the question is apparently: no - premiere cannot export to individual clips like DaVinci Resolve can do with literally one click of a box. There are a few ways you can export trimmed source clips, and then go back in and reapply the grade to every shot individually. But that it. Otherwise you have to select every clip individually and export either with the regular export or the render and replace option.

Even in Resolve, you need to make sure you have the right settings or the grade won't go with the clips. But you can set up Resolve to do so.

Premiere ... requires a rather tedious workaround, you are absolutely correct. This is the UserVoice request with the most votes for the feature ...

Export Timeline as Individual Clips

There are plugins that can sorta help ... Autokroma's "AfterCodecs" gives you the ability to export multiple clips from a sequence as clips, but ... without their original clip or sequence timecode.

Also "Clips Exporter" from aescripts.com, but I don't know if that gives timecodes of the clips either.

Neither seems a replacement for what the app should do without a plugin.

Useinsg this method you can export individual clips in any video frormat and codec. Even h264 mp4.

There is a workaround. We can make a subsequence from each clip on timeline and then import a Premiere project into Media Encoder

This is what worked best for me. I believe it keeps effects in place, allows you to export with the full range of settings, send to encoder, etc. Seems to me like this should really just be a check box on export. As a VFX artist, I often want the clips split up.

PLUS: The hotkey is "ctrl u" so you can just click through your sequence pressing this.

Which option exports as mp4 though? I can't find anything on it.

Only .mov or mxf & xmp which is frustrating

R Neil Haugen

Note there is an "import preset" option. You would need to go to MediaEncdoder, and 'make' an export preset or grab one from there. Export it to X folder on your machine.

Then in the Project Manager, use the "Import Preset" to install that for the Project Manager to use.

Is adobe working on including effects to the export files?

It's mainly when clients want b-roll broken down into individual files and you have hundreds.

Caroline,

This method is fine (though not easy to puzzle out at first). But as noted at the very end of the little video, it doesn't include any effects.

We need a quick & clean method for exporting out the clips of a sequence including effects. Especially in collaborative and remote work, someone like me may be handling color but the clips need to be used by someone else for final editing/graphics & publishing.
