Question

Export sequence as individual clips

I'm hoping to find a quick and easy way to export a sequence as individual clips.

I color in DaVinci Resolve and by exporting XML all my time remaps are messed up so I guess the only way around this is to render and bake in my time remaps.

A lot of the projects I work on are comprised of 200+ of individual clips, so I'd really like to avoid manually nesting each clip and exporting that way. It's just far too tedious.

Is there an easy way around this?

Thank you!

I may have a solution.

I go under File > Project Manager

in the project manager panel I select "consolidate and transcode"

I usually leave the default handles (24frames) and run the export.

Then all your raw clips (but only the ones used in the sequence) will be exported in whatever davinci-friendly format you prefer in a seperate folder. Better than that, they have the correct in and out points plus the handles which saves considerable space. And the transcoded premiere project will look identical to your current project but it's made up of only the transcoded clips.

If you color all the individual raw clips in the transcode folder, you can just replace the existing ones (or replace footage from within premiere) and bam! all your effects and time warps are still applied but they aren't baked in. You can even make changes after the grade is finished in your normal, familiar premiere interface.

Definitely a time saver and you don't habve to be picture-locked at all. I use it all the time.

This is the solution. Works perfectly!

I don't use DaVinci, but the Blackmagic website says:

Is this not correct? If it does support the speed changes and speed warps, I might have a potential work around for you.

Interesting...

The Resolve page states that it supports speed changes and speed warps, wouldn't that be the same as a time remap?

Regardless, I've never been able to make it work.  My clips make it over to Resolve just fine, but all my time remaps are gone, only the IN/OUT points make it over.

What's the potential work around you had in mind?

Those are three different effects.

There's no shortcut for this one.  You will need to manually set up every export one at a time.

You don't need to use nesting, though.  Put the playhead over the clip, hit x to select it, hit CTL+M for the Export settings dialog and set up your desired settings.  Hit Queue.  Use the down arrow to move to the next clip, and repeat...

Thanks!

Still tedious but a little less so.  Anything that can save me time is super!

A little less tedious and maybe worth a test is...

Create subclips from each clip in the sequence.  One at a time unfortunately but...

A quick way is set Sequence to Select Clip under Playhead,> rip along using Ctrl-U for the Subclips.

Select all the subclips in the Project Bin and > right click> Export Media. > Set DPX or similar .. Queue. etc..
