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

Please can someone help me

      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.

      Caroline

        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.

            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...

            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.

            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.

              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.

                  You can try the Project Manager under the File menu and choose the Consolidate and Transcode option.

                  It is a bit clunky and doesn't quite work in the same way as a Resolve Individual Clips render but it might get you what you need in your workflow.

                    You could first do render and replace and then batch render those clips to mp4... Not ideal though...

                    Render and replace achieves what you are looking for: Render and replace media in Premiere Pro

                    ok this is ALMOST a good work around although you can't be that specific about export settings using this function. I need to export max bit rate mp4. So I could export everything to prores using this then re export but that seems a bit laboured

                      Unless I am misunderstanding you, simply set IN and OUT markers on your timeline and tell export to use those markers

                      I want to export everything on my timeline as individual clips. That would export everything as one film.
