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.

OK that's it! - when I used the 'Match Frame' option it didn't indeed reveal a 4 sec clip in the source monitor. I double checked the speed of the clips and actually they were all set to 40% - so when I re timed all the clips to 10 secs I must have not un-chained the speed and duration dialogue box. I'm sure I did - but I must have not done. FYI this are all really, really static tripod wide landscapes so the slo-mo look didn't register.

Thanks so much!

SOLVED!

SO glad you got going! Some of these little trip-ups can be ​so​ difficult to find and remove.

And with R&R as a method of exporting clips with corrections/effects as clips ... setting the "Source" to "sequence" ​and​ setting "Include video effects" seem to be ​both​ needed to be certain you get everything out that you thought you put in.

And I wonder under what circumstances result in the 'Include video effects' being grayed out, as no matter whether I select one or multiple clips and have 'fresh' clips or worked clips, it's always available ...

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.

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.

I am replacing my post of an hour ago. I've been back through this again, with the "proper" procedure.

 

Timeline Render and Replace Command to export Individual Clips


The Render & Replace command is found by right-clicking in the timeline panel, and selecting "Render and Replace". After installing a preset that fits your export needs, this can be used to create a folder of all or selected clips from a timeline. All clips will be in the folder specified, with the exact same names as the originals, but in the format/codec of your choice. You must make sure that the "Include Video Effects" checkbox is checked or any color or other effects work done to the clips will not be included in the export.


If you add handles, then of course the clips will be slightly longer than the clips on the sequence. If you do not they will be exactly the same length as the clips on the sequence. The timecode will be kept from the original clips. Note, in some circumstances Premiere may 'count' things one frame differently than Final Cut, and occasionally also Resolve. I've had this create issues when working on a project going from or to the other applications.

 

As you can't queue that to MediaEncoder (Me) ... it doth mean that until the "render" of the new transcoded files is done, Pr will be completely occupied. So ... it's nice to do when you're going to be taking a break as for lunch or end-of-day if there's a number of clips to process.

 

This is the process I use for exporting both things I've simply graded in Lumetri, or for when I have done a fair amount of "heavy" work to some clips, and wish to "bake" that into the clip permanently. And then use that newly "baked" clip, with all the effects already processed, to do further work in a timeline.

 

There is the UserVoice request to simply give us a proper option for exporting clips from a timeline with original names and timecode ... please go to "Export Timeline as Individual Clips" and upvote this.

You must make sure that the "Include Video Effects" checkbox is checked or any color or other effects work done to the clips will not be included in the export.

 

On v22.0, this checkbox is only clickable when you select 'source: sequence', but then you don't have access to the encoding preset.

 

If you select 'source: preset', then you do have access to the encoding preset, but the 'include video effects' box is greyed out, and you can't click it.

 

Just incredible to me that it's nearly 2022, we pay a significant amount of money every year for this software, and we still have to manually export clips one by one by carefully adjusting the in and out points of each one. That said, the workaround I've just started using is to nest each clip. Here's my process:

Right click clip -> Nest (I created a keyboard shortcut so now I just click clip and press N)

Enter clip name

Repeated for all clips

Highlight all newly created sequences in the project panel, right click -> Export media

This queues all the clips to media encoder.

Start queue.

Sit back and calmly watch media encoder encode all the queued clips.

This turned out to be exactly what I needed! It's unfortunate there needs to be such a convoluted workaround, but this worked great. In my case, I only wanted to export as audio, and could not find a way through Project Manager or Render and Replace to write out mp3 files. Thank you!

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.

It would be amazing if you could click a box that includes effects and color corrections made on the clips.  It would save me a lifetimes worth of time exporting trimmed up and colorcorrected clips for stock sites.  Currently I have to nest each clip and select them all and export that way.  Seems like a tottally unesseary step.   I think it would be best if you could just select all the clips on a timeline and right click them, then have an option to export clips indivually.

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.

Which option exports as mp4 though? I can't find anything on it.

Only .mov or mxf & xmp which is frustrating

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.
