Exporting clips from premier for a colourist

New Here ,
May 08, 2020 May 08, 2020

Hi,

I have a project that is finished and now I need to take the cut clips from the timeline and send them over to a colourist in their raw format. Then for him to send them back and I will drag and drop them back into the timeline.

How do I export these clips from my timeline in their origional BRAW format? Cheers

I would try the following:

export an XML of your timeline

 

send the original sound and video files on a disk or flash drive to your friend. ( drag and drop from your source folders to the drive ...it's NOT an export )

 

to help him conform what he gets and what you have export a separate mov h264 of your timeline and call it a 'reference movie' ... he'll be able to play that and see exactly where you made edits.

 

in Resolve the source monitor can be changed to 'offline' and that mov file can be opened in it... so on one monitor he sees your reference movie and in the program monitor he sees the result of the xml on your original stuff ( once he re-links the files properly .. like he finds the right path to them ).

 

When HE'S DONE he can send you an intermediate ( like prores 422 or whatever )

I use the cs6 creative suite boxed version, with speedgrade, and I think that was 32bit program... so I also use Resolve 15 now. Can run both on 6 year old custom computer stuff. But I can't use AE or Speedgrade. They don't like win 10 even 'as administrator'.

 

what YOU have to do is get the 'gist' of what I suggested and adjust it to suit YOUR specific stuff. I am NOT suggesting you use Resolve.

 

But the basic workflow of sharing stuff between platforms and programs and source materials are all the same thing.... get the 'gist' of it, and you can work through the solutions.

 

🙂

Salvo is right, you need to supply the colorist with an XML or EDL of the sequence. Plus a disc of the original media. Also export a low-bitrate mov/mp4 of the sequence for the colorist to use to check that timing/scaling/speed-changes and all in/out points are correct.

 

Most experienced colorists have a sheet they can send you as to how they want the material prepped and delivered, and if the colorist hasn't sent you one, ask for it!

 

A few things ... any clip with frame-size changes can be a problem, in Premiere you should only use set to frame-size, never scale-to-framesize. If you've used scale-to, go back and change those to set-to before even exporting anything.

 

Speedramps are a problem for most software coming from another app. It's not a bad idea to have written out the timeline spot, clip names, in/out points and speed changes.

 

Also ... don't have more than two tracks to the XML/EDL if that. Simplifying to one track before creating the XML/EDL is the ideal but not always possible of course.

You can export a full rez version of your sequence and an edl and hopefully your colorist will be able to apply the edl to the video to mark all the edits and dissolves.  I've done it and it works, but it can be tricky...   Resolve doesn't handle this process in a very intuitive fashion...   or maybe I just don't know resolve that well.   This workflow bakes in any speed changes, repositioning, and variation in source formats etc so you don't have to depend on resolve interpreting an edl or xml which usually doesn't end well.
