Question

Export frames with timecode as filename

Hi everyone

 

My goal is to export all frames as png or jpg from a clip.

 

I found already a way in premiere pro to do this. See printscreen 1.

 
After the export my files has for example the follow filename:

  • 2021-12-07 16-51-01000000.jpg
  • 2021-12-07 16-51-01000001.jpg
  • 2021-12-07 16-51-01000001.jpg

 

Is it possible to export the frames with their current time code as filename? For example:

  • 00_01_15_20.jpg
  • 00_01_15_21.jpg
  • 00_01_15_21.jpg

 

Thanks and best regards

Marc

I have an issue with premiere pro, in the export window, the clip duration is showing in frames and not minutes, how do I change it back to minutes?

This is controlled by the sequence settings:

By the way, why would you need such sequences names? You won't be able to import those as a single image sequence in any software, as the numbering will be reset into 0 every second.

I have several clips (one clip is about an hour long) a clip contain a lot of subtitles. The clip should be recorded at 50fps. But sometimes it can happen that a few seconds were recorded at less than 50fps. I must identifiy where excatly one subtilte text started and end. But if I have just 2021-12-07 16-51-01000000, 2021-12-07 16-51-01000001, 2021-12-07 16-51-01000002 as information I can't be 100% sure whenn a new second start

If it's a variable frame rate clip it should be converted into constant frame rate one before using it in an editing software. Then you can render another clip with the timecode effect applied so you can use it as a reference for your subtitles

AFAIK: No

Thank you for your quick answer. Or is it maybe possible to save the current time code as metadata in the file?
