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

Please can someone help me

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.

Hey there –

We kept hearing this question so we created this tutorial for how to export your timeline as individual clips!

I'm also talking with our designers about how to work this feature into a more intuitive spot in the app! Thanks for bringing this to us.

I've summarised this as some really quick text instructions here: https://easieranswers.wordpress.com/2021/11/15/exporting-a-sequence-as-seperate-clips-from-premiere/

This solution here might be way easier...

That does NOT include any effects you've done to the files though, as the person specifically states. So no color correction, Warp, anything will be applied to the clips exported that way.

The only way to export clips from a sequence as clips ... and with effects ... is to use the Render & Replace option listed above.

Hi,
thanks for pointing that out and sorry I missed it!

I need to export individual clips from the timeline, with effects. I don't understand why this isn't an option in 2020. I need to do this with thousands of clips on a new job. Do I REALLY have to go to Resolve? Seems like such a simple task...

R Neil Haugen

Legend

Yea, this is a right pain, and many of us have been asking this for quite some time. There's one thing that works for some things.

Set the sequence Preview format/codec to the one you need for exporting the media. Then "render" the timeline, and use the "previews".

Test this with a few clips, and see if the timecode and such stay correct.

This doesn't help me export individual clips as one process does it?

Why is this being tagged as the correct answer? It doesn't actually help anyone else looking for this functionality.

R Neil Haugen

Legend

I think the OP may have tagged that as correct because it gave the last bit of data he needed to get going.

Anyone can set a "correct answer if one is not already chosen, btw.

For Render and Replace, you could try creating your desired H.264 encoding preset and then import that preset in Render and Replace.

Another possible option is to select all clips in the Timeline and drag them to a Bin/Folder in the Project panel. Select all these clips in Project panel, right-click and choose Export Media.

R Neil Haugen

Legend

Trent .. .the problem with the second option you give is the changes to the clips in the sequence STAY with the sequence ... so when you select a clip, drag to a bin, then export ... you are exporting the original clip.

You don't get the changes such as color corrective work. Which is often the reason for wanting to export clips from a sequence. Those changes in Premiere live only in the Seqeunce data.

So for exporting with clip-applied effects, you have to do the Render & Replace.

Which ... doesn't allow for queuing to Me, sadly.

Neil, you are correct. The second option would not include effects and Render and Replace is an in-process operation (does not queue to Media Encoder)

Thanks for noting those omissions.
