I want to trim my original footage and save the trims as clone copies for further use in projects with no change in quality. I cannot find out how to do this in Premiere. Could someone please tell this is possible and how to do it - thank you.

I know about subclips and exporting using the media encoder but I do not want to have to mess around choosing codecs, bitrates and passes etc at this stage.

subclips. export

Adobe, any confirmation and timeline on resolving this problem?

(sub-clips of a long single shot, exported to individual files, preserving quality, without massive file-size inflation)

Or just select the sub clips in the Project panel and export them via media encoder?

Also, before you go to the Project Manager, select ONLY the sub-clips that you want. Make sure nothing else is selected. Make sure to select “delete unused footage” too. Does that work?

What you are looking for is smart render but that is only available for a certain codecs.

Did you restrict the boundaries of the subclips when you made them? If not that may be why it exports a single source file? To change this you can select the subclip and go to Edit > Subclip. Select the option to restrict boundaries.

then, in the Project manager. Choose collect files and Copy. But make sure to select the option to “delete unused media” does this work?

Hi Angie and Ann and anyone who is interested,

I've done some testing and "File > Project Manager > Collect files and copy to new location" does not work as I would have hoped. The problem seems to be if you have several subclips from one original source clip then Project Manager copies the entire source clip not the individual subclips.

If you only have one subclip from the source clip then that subclip (only) will be copied. This is fine.

I've have yet to find a satisfactory solution to my original question. If I require several subclips from one source file I am wondering if I need to make a copy of the source file (outside of Premiere?) and bring it into Premiere for each subclip required. If this is the case it is a cumbersome and time consuming procedure.

My original source files are .MOV 3840x2160 at 5960kbps . "Export Media > Format > H264 > Match Source High bitrate" gives unusable results. Any other suggestions for satisfactory results most welcome - thanks.

Edit: I do not see why a sophisticated program like Premiere Pro cannot simply copy the source date of a subclip and save it in another location.

YOu can right click on the subclip in the Project Panel and export to e.g. Cineform.

Makes huge files but the best quality.

Set your in and out points, theN make subclip. Do this for all the clips you want trimmed.

Then select these here and go to File > Project Manager. In here you can move, copy or re-transcode the clips and sequences. You have an option to remove unused footage too.

Thanks Angie - just what I needed.

Just as a follow-on: can I export, in one action, all clips in a sequence as individual new files with their effects (warp stabilizer) rendered?

That would be nice but as far as I’m aware it’s not possible unless you render via Media Encoder. You can set up a watched folder for AME or batch process the clips so it should be possible to do that way?
