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.

As Adobe is discontinuing Uservoice in favour of the Ideas section of the community forums, please upvote this idea there:

Unbelievable that this has not been added yet natively to premiere. What the heck?

Are there any features people need that are not covered by all the different tutorials (Nested Sequence exports), scripts and plugins (AfterCodecs MultiRender) ? It would be great to have more feedback on this, what's lacking right now

Add the ability to export a timeline with the option to choose as a single clip or as separate self-standing clips. This feature in the Export panel is extremely necessary and important. This special function will be useful for the output of clips for simplified transfer of material to a colorist or visual effects artist, a sound engineer for the design of scenes where you can work with each individual clip. At the same time, having the opportunity to reduce the time for comforming (preparation of material for transmission), and matching on a timeline in another NLE. Such an opportunity would be an excellent addition to the output of the material for its specific component.

Danial what do you mean through edits ? Project Manager is quite buggy, maybe you should open a new separate uservoice for this
-
Danial Monson-Bergum commented
A slight variation on this problem is: Within Project Manager, a single clip with multiple through-edits does not seem to transcode analogously as multiple files.

It's crazy it is still not a build-in feature! For the price of the Suite a batch export ability is a must. Adobe, please make it happen.

Kevin did you try one of the three solutions I provided ?

I create multiple short media packs in one video from: main video, images, audio, and text, for technical training. I want to export each 'pack of multiimedia' as a single video clip. And keep this setting for future minor changes (perhaps even changes to timline) for quick exporting.
I have a 2 sec gap between 'pack of media', and apply a name.
Then export clips with that name.
The only way I can (other then destructive use of nests) is to use a selection of each part and export one at a time using adobe media in a queue. Not ideal and slow.
I keep the multimeda elements in one movie per learning lesson, as they share images and text. Eg 1 project, 1 source movie, 8 clips (packs of media), 110 audio files, 40 graphics, 110 pieces of text. I have 20 projects so far. BTW each clip is part of an online training and reference course. -

Travis, there are 3 solutions for now :
- AfterCodecs MultiRender, it will export the result on the timeline https://www.autokroma.com/blog/Batch-Export-Clips-Quickly-Premiere-Pro-with-our-Panel/
- PlumePack, multiple outputs were just added recently in v1.2 https://www.autokroma.com/PlumePack
Note : this won't take everything you added, only trim at the points of your editing, but it's very fast, faster than re encoding- Clips Exporter https://www.aescripts.com/clips-exporter
Please tell us if any of the solutions don't answer your problem here

Travis Williams commented
I can't believe this is still so difficult! I still haven't found a practical solution here. We often create "libraries" of clips for clients after some jobs that involved documentary-type filming.
This may include a timeline with 100+ trimmed/edited clips. Individually clicking them in the timeline and making subsequences feels absurd, and doesn't always work correctly. Render/replace loses any naming we've done, which matters if we trimmed a single clip into several mini-clips featuring different things.
The concept is simple: Make a timeline of trimmed, edited, deliverable clips. Ask Premiere to render them as-edited and save them as individual new files. The fact that Resolve can do this means that the concept is enactable.
Thanks, Adobe, please keep working on this; as a professional, it would be a massive time-saver.

Hi everyone
We believe we have solved this long awaited problem.
With our new extension you can export individual clips from your timeline in a single click.
We have also track and clip filtering options.
And a custom file name builder with variables.If that sounds good, check it out here:
https://www.aescripts.com/clips-exporterWe hope you enjoy it!

I would really like to export all of my single clips with the warp effect, or speed ramping on it, to further edit the clips without the computer loosing it all the time.
Speed ramping + warp is not even possible at the moment.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADOBE, implement this feature.
Its so shocking to search for a basic function and then finding out its NOT EVEN POSSIBLE with Adobe alone.......
Will export all the clips in one video, then placing it on top of clips and then adding the cuts again....
if you guys know any other faster method, please let mew know!

Fede if you want only the clip trimmed it won't take any effect applied to it. It would only take the original files and remove unused frames. Is that what you want ?
-
Fede Ondarts commented
This is really necessary! It should come with the option to select the handle duration for each clip. As well as if we want the attributes of each clip to be taken into account.
Maybe I'm working on a HD sequence with 4k footage and I want to send the colorist the clips with there original resolution. In this case it would be amazing if Premiere cut just cut the clip without reencoding.

Greetings Fellow editors,
I developed new extension: EXCALIBUR. It has "Export Selected Clips" command. Select all clips in timeline and execute it.
And you can assign shortcut to this command.But it does much more than that, learn more here:

This converts the original footage without any effects applied on them. Unless maybe if you add the effects on the Master tab, I didn't try this
