Exporting individual clips from a timeline of Selects

Question

Is there a convenient way to export individual clips from premiere/encoder without having to jump through a million hoops, clicks and export settings? Batch renaming would be lovely but not mandatory. I've gotten as far as dragging and dropping the clips from my timeline into a bin, and then Command + E to send them all to media encoder. The issue with doing this is that it will send the entire clip (Not solely the in-out points in said clip) to media enconder. There is no source range option in the export window when you have more than one clip selected for export. Furthermore, once I have all my clips in media encoder if I go through the trouble of selecting each one of my 300+ clips, go to export settings and change the source range option to "in and out point" instead of "Entire clip" it will only apply this to the first one and not the whole lot. It's pretty ridiculous that Premiere doesn't have a export individual clips option. Note: I don't want to render and replace. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

There are some (paid) extension on aescripts:

First, there is Clips Exporter
https://aescripts.com/clips-exporter/

and then if you also want to automate all kinds of other things in Pr, my Automation Blocks for Pr also comes with an example named Render Clips of Sequence to export all clips individually. It loops over all clips of the sequence and adds each of them to the render queue individually (with the in and out poinits of the segment used in the sequence).

I think the main difference is that Clips Exporter exports the segments of the sequence (including all effects applied in the sequence) whereas Automation Blocks renders the clips (i.e. the source items in the project panel) without any effects you might have applied in the sequence. So this is a question of what exactly you need.

Great thing about Automation Blocks is that you can customize the automations. Better Editor created a variant of the original example with an improved UI, for example:

As noted elsewhere ... and often, as this comes up repeatedly! ... an option is to make subclips, then go to the bin where they are listed, select all, Export.

It's sometimes somewhat less of a pain. Sigh.
