How can we improve Premiere Pro?

Export timeline but as individual clips

It would be great to export a full timeline from Premier but instead of one video, each video clip on the timeline is exported individually. This is an option in DaVinci Resolve and I've found it to be really useful. Having to do it manually can definitely be a pain.

    Here's a youtube tutorial about my AfterCodecs MultiRender method to export individual clips from Premiere Pro and Media Encoder, scalable to hundreds of clips within a few clicks ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvBEtJeceGE&list=PL95F-QjAL6dFlhsRDuaw8kp2tSlt7qGLe

    And yes Andrew this retains the original clip names, you can even prefix them in the output if you want. You can also rename the clips on the timeline (for after CC 2018 included) if you feel the need to

    If this gets implemented, please allow clip names to retain the original file name (e.g. source clip Clip94.mxf could become Clip94.mp4) and also match timecode of the original clip. This would be invaluable for batch exporting media for stock footage as it allows the user to refer back to the original camera file.

    Antoine Autokroma thank you very much for your product, it looks amasing! I will test it soon. Very useful to use for stockshots! Adobe should add it directly in the software..

    Hi everyone,
    I'm back on this feature and I solved this thanks to a Premiere Pro Panel, check this out ! https://autokroma.com/blog/Batch-Export-Clips-Quickly-Premiere-Pro-with-our-Panel/
    Basically once you installed AfterCodecs our exporter plugin, just go into the AfterCodecs Panel, select the clips you want to export in the timeline, click a button on the panel, export, select AfterCodecs, tick the "MultiRender" checkbox and you're good to go !
    Takes about 20 seconds
    Cheers
    Antoine

    Has anyone ever seen Adobe implement more than one feature per year (usually a useless one than no one requested)? So of the most requested features are "UNDER REVIEW" for more than a year. No one at Adobe gives a ****.

    Premiere Pro CC 2020 is released, and again, no way to individually export clips from a sequence with changes to the Effect Controls panel.....

    I tried to select the clips in the sequence, right click, go to render and replace, but there are only a couple options that make huge files (ProRes etc.). I'm trying to export individual clips for mobile in vertical. So I made my own encoding preset, then tried again. It canceled and said error...!
    The error says it couldn't match the frame size.. This will be a 2 year old request come May... When will this move past 'under review'??

    Another year goes by where the Premiere team ignores their customers. I just tried exporting via the project manager -> individual clips as a work around, however even though I made a Prores preset, it still exported in .mp4 h.264 for some reason, and did not export as individual clips even though I have several individual clips in the sequence.... So I tried again using the default settings (DN-HR) with individual clips, and it STILL exported to h.264 .mp4 as a single clip (Not individual). So frustrating... Not only is the Premiere team not listening to customers (Based on this having 200 upvotes, and dozes of requests on other forums all over the internet, and this post 1.5 years old), but the work around method (Which won't export keyframes, or color correction or any effects added), doesn't even work properly as I mentioned above!!!

    Also would be nice if you could export multiple clips from single timeline using markers as kind of in/out points. Similar function to creating chapters on a DVD.

    Yo corto el material en premier hago los efectos de ramping o aceleraciones que quiera y luego exporto un XML a Resolve, luego dentro de resolve abro la secuencia como un nuevo Timeline, directamente se importaran los archivos con los cortes que hayas hecho dentro de premier pro. puedo hacer color y exportar en el formato que quiera los clips cortados.

    Espero les ayude este comentario

    The Premiere Pro team at Adobe is probably comprised on one part-time intern, this is the only explanation I have for the number of features added or bugs fixed due to reports or suggestions here (somewhere around 1, maybe 2 per year, according to my observations). So don't hold your breaths.

    This is just crazy. I've been trying to figure this out and reading long forum threads and complaints and talking to Adobe engineers about this for years and years. There must be some significant obstacle to implementing this because I can't believe that Adobe would be so obnoxious as to simply ignore the pleas of a huge percentage of their user base to implement this basic and vital functionality. There must be a reason they won't address this. But it's serious enough that it's becoming a deal-breaker for me. Adobe - add the basic ability to batch export individual clips with the clip's name and effects applied, even if it means re-writing the entire program.

  • Ben Schranz commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I believe this is already an option. You can export each clip individually in multiple formats.

    Exporting timeline as individual clips and at the same time retain all attributes (speed alteration, position, stabilizing, size, etc...) in order to import in Davinci for example with Edl or pre-conformed edl instead of a single clip the entire timeline, is not possible.
    Its doable only as a single clip (retaining attributes) for the entire timeline, but this is time consuming depending the duration of your timeline, especially lets say you need to correct just one or a couple of clips.
    It should be an option in media encoder.
