Exporting subclip names to text

Hello -- I've gone through several video interviews in Premiere and made subclips, naming these subclips according to the verbal content of that clip. I would like to export the NAMES of these files (not the clips themselves) so that others working on this project know what material we have, without having to review every clip. Is this possible? An EDL only lists the original clip name. Thanks!

Thank you, Kevin! I actually found a crude workaround in native Premiere. I put all the renamed clips into their own sequence then exported the sequence as a Final Cut Pro XML. That created a text file with thousands of lines of gobbeldygook. But I copy/pasted it into excel and deleted all columns except the seventh, which included the renamed clip names. I filtered out all the garbage and empty rows, removed the <name> and </name> text, and that ended up as a list of all the shots in the sequence. Should be a more intuitive way, but it worked in a pinch. Thanks again!

Hi @Sean22890987slt2,

Thanks for writing in with the question. I don't know of a way to do so natively. In that case, please have a look at this tool by my friends at Intelligent Assistance, Sequence Clip Reporter: https://www.intelligentassistance.com/sequence-clip-reporter/. That could work for you. Let me know if the advice helps.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
