Is There an Automated Way to Use the Clip Name Instead of the Sequence Name As the Default File Name for the Exported Clip in the Export Module?

Right now, my approach is cumbersome in that I right-click the clip/click rename/copy highlighted clip name/escape then go to the Export Module and rename the default file name which is always the sequence name.

My hope is that there's a whole lot easier way to do this when I have a multitude of clips to individually export!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stephan,

I went ahead and followed your lead and purchased the plug-in, "Clips Exporter." The cost is only $25 so I gambled that it might work for what my precise needs of exporting a multitude of clips with the clip name being used for the exported file name.

(There are some complicated ways of doing this directly in Premiere Pro but none of them seem to even give you any of your edits – which, for me, makes those approaches pretty much useless.)

This particular plug-in, Clips Exporter, does everything I need or will probably need in the future. All exported files have all of the edits and have the exported file name the same as the clip name – which is what I wanted. It lets you choose an abundance of other names also. Last night, I exported 47 clips from a long sequence, and it appears to work fast and flawlessly.

My only complaint is the UI which could be greatly improved. I had to spend 45 minutes meandering around the software, with zero user guides, to figure out multiple issues that were not covered in their instructional videos.

Nevertheless, this $25 plug will save me a massive number of hours in the future which makes the cost per saved hour negligibly close to zero!

Hi, previously I search for easy way to export multiple clips with substituted audio(audios was with different length than videos). Like you, I copy file name, click export and paste name. It was slow process. I test and buy 2 plugins: "clips exporter" and "Aftercodecs". They're not free, but i suggest to check them.

For me the price is worth, especially how much time and effort you can save.

Finally I use only "clips exporter".

Thanks for posting back about this! The tools always seem to need "helper" apps/utiilities, and hearing this is great!

Why are you exporting individual clips using Premiere? you can streamline that by using Media encoder instead

I"ve not tried exporting clips individually from Me for a while. Do you have the option to export with effects applied? I don't recall.

Neil, yes, you have the full range of effects applied on your clip when you export to ME.

If you select clips in a bin, then select export, they will go to Me, and will all be named for their original clip name. You will not get any effects applied to the timeline.

You can also try to select clips on a timeline, "Render & Replace" with the format/codec set to your export choice, and check "include effects" which gets all timeline effects included. Then copy those clips. And then you can select the timeline again, 'restore unrendered', to get back to the original media.

One of the key points I apparently did not make clear is that these clips are not imported as standalone clips – but instead are derived from a very long, 90-minute sequence from an old videotape of our son's birth, etc. with many different scenes that each require their own color correction and other effects – which is the purpose of the project.

Hence, there is nothing to take directly to media encoder.
