Batch Exports of clips as separate files

I've seen a lot of complaints about the "inability" of Premiere Pro to batch-export clips under their own names. There's a current thread over on the SpeedGrade forum concerning this, from someone wanting to do dailie's but exported not as a timeline but specific separate clips with their original clip names. This is a mistaken impression.
PrPro CAN batch export clips, but not a timeline into separate clips. That's the hangup, we've all tended to look at the timeline export box.
1) In the Project Panel, click once on any clip you want to batch-export, using the "standard" selection clicking process ... hold "shift" while clicking a second clip will select the original, that clip, and everything in between; clicking on a clip, then holding ctrl/cmd and clicking on additional clips will add just the clips you click on.
2) Right-click on any of the selected clips, and at the bottom of the dialog box, select "Export Media".
This takes you to PrPro's standard export box, where you can do things like (under the Effects tab) apply a "look" or a LUT of your choice to the batch (handy to standardize the look of a project) before adding to the Queue, which then takes you to Media Encoder for your export operation.
Slick enough, actually. Not quite as easy as say choosing simply a sequence, BUT ... at least, doable. Might be easier on long projects to put clips on each sequence say into a bin for that sequence. Cleaner, also.

Batch export .ai to .png produces files without extension - please help

I created an Action to batch export a folder of .ai files to create 300dpi .png's of the .ai file's artboard. I did this by simply recording "Export...as png" with my desired settings then Batch running the Action on desired folder of .ai files. The files were successfully exported, the trouble is that the exported files lack a .png file extension. My intent is to take these PNG files and
merge them into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro. Unfortunatly, without the .PNG extension, Acrobat Pro does not recognize the file types and does not let me use the Combine Files feature on them. Going back and manually adding a .png at the end of the exported files defeats the time-saving purpose of Batch Processing all together. Is there something I am missing or doing incorrectly? I have included screenshots of 1) My Batch Action settings 2) folders showing files without .png extension and 3) visual of what I see when I am trying to combine PNGs into a PDF. Assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I am on a Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with CS5 (Illustrator 15.0.2, Acrobat Pro 9.4.6). Your suggestion did not help as "Hide Extension" is not checked. I even set "Open With" to Acrobat Pro and still get no extension or ability to import into Combine in Acrobat. Thanks anyhow. Please see below.

Batch Export Timeline Clips?

I have over 100 separate physician interviews in need of web export. I have created sequences (timelines) labeled Day1, Day2, etc... with 5-10 separate interviews on each timeline.
I am now needing to export these to a web capable format..
I have scoured the web for a solution to a batch export option, and so far, no luck..
I can't be asking too much from final cut, right?
Specs:
Final Cut Pro 6

Select the Sequences in the Browser and goto File>Batch Export
Select desired format etc for Export.

Edit & export audio segments as separate files?

Hi,
I'm cutting up recordings of PowerPoint presentations into separate clips, one per slide. I am wondering how I can edit on the timeline, then mark each slide, master the audio, and export one clip per marker. Is that segmenting done from Premiere, or is it an option to export one file per marker within Media Encoder? How?
Or, do I need to use subclips instead? Please don't say I need to do a sequence for each slide (or would that be less messy than it sounds?).
Or should I do this editing in Soundbooth instead, since the editing is basically audio-driven? How's segmenting done there?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin -
It's funny... We are doing the exact same thing that you are. We are recording webinars, chunking up the audio into individual files according to PPT slides, and putting the audio back into the PPT presentation so they can be played back as the presentation initially aired. We're also exporting the reconstituted presentations as standalone webcasts that people watch online.
Okay - here's how we're doing it... I record the webinar's audio and video (Camtasia for audio and GoToWebinar's built-in .WMV recorder for video). I make a new project in Premiere and import both the video and audio. I only use the .wmv for visual reference (to know exactly where to split the long audio clip). I go through the audio clip and do an Alt + [ to mark the left side of the work area (essentially the In point) and Alt + ] to mark the right slide of the work area (essentially the Out point). I then split the clip at the out point (Control + K) in case I have to go back and re-edit or re-export later. Once I have my slide's audio marked with a work area, I go to file, export, media. This launches Adobe Media Encoder. In AME, I make .mp3s of each slide's audio. I then reinsert the .mp3s in the PPT presentation.
What I would LIKE to do is put chapter or Flash markers at the end of each slide's audio and then have it chunk up the clips for me based on the markers. The quest to do that led me to this post. I'll let you know if I find out any info on how to do that, but for now, the process is pretty manual and time-consuming. I am a long-time Avid editor, and that offers no solution either. What have you found with Final Cut?
Something also that may work for you (but not for us for various reasons) is iSpring Presenter's sync function. This allows you to bring in the entire audio clip and put it on the first PPT slide. Then you click a stopwatch icon when the audio is supposed to go to a different slide. This syncs up your audio and PPT for you. No more Premiere. Here is specific info on how to do that. It works great. We don't use it because we have to cut back into the presentation with live audio. But it may work great for what you're doing.

No Method of Batch Export for Clips with Alpha Channels?

Good morning,
As many a flustered editor has eventually discovered, in order for FCP to export sequences with alpha channels to a 32-bit format, the timeline has to be un-rendered at the time of export, or else the transparent parts will appear black in the outputted file. This sort-of makes sense if you know how FCP and render files work, but in a perfect world I think I'd have designed the export interface a bit differently. Now that I think about it, I'm actually working in an Animation (Millions of Colors +) sequence, so converting transparent areas to black makes no logical sense at all.
Anyway, I have several sequences that I would like to export as 32-bit TGA QuickTime files, preserving their transparency. If I Export Using Compressor, the process results in pre-rendering of the sequence, turning the transparent areas black. The same problem occurs if I export QuickTime reference movies from FCP and open them directly with Compressor.
Does anyone know of a way to avoid this silly phenomenon or am I stuck individually exporting each sequence from FCP, one...at.......a................time?
Thanks,
Zap

Thanks, Andy, "Batch Export" eventually did the trick!
I forgot about that tool because I've never actually had to use it before! After playing around with it for a while, I found that as long as the sequence settings for each sequence in the batch are set to a codec with an activated alpha channel, it works just fine.
Thanks again,
Zap

Batch export text from multiple Indesign files, applying em and strong tags

Hi there,
I am struggling for a while now with the following workflow:
batch exporting all text (text only) as plain text, from multiple Indesign files, applying and for all the bold and italics (for instance: Molluptas verion nossum idist doluptatet maiorerum quiaspienit, cum erferiosapis eos expe nonsequas verumquae dolor sim eos doluptatiur autet lab idicili beatum deliquat).
Properly tagging the styles, will be too time consuming, as these documents are as old as 1998, have inconsistent untagged styles; it will mean to manually open up each file, assign tags for all styles (not to mention that might be some local overwrites).
This task is necessary to have all the archive, available on wordpress website.
Any feedback would be much appreciated it.
Thanks.

There may well be a script or you may have pay someone to write it. All I can tell you is that any text not mapped to a style will be a mess in the HTML code.
Can’t comment on Quark files. I have no clue what they’re capable of.

How do I save clips as separate files?

I'm new to Premiere Elements but I'm sure that this is a very common situation. I have a bunch of video tapes that I have imported. I set up one project per tape. Each tape has several unrelated sequences for instance Christmas, a basketball game, a couple of birthdays and a vacation. I want to break these into totally separate clips, tag each clip with the pertinant information and use those clips to build movies or albums, for instance all of my kids birthday parties, highlights from all of the basketball games, etc. I've cut the first tape into clips but don't know where to go from here. I would really appreciate advice or pointing me to a good turtorial on this subject. Thanks jimadavis1

Export multiple clips from one timeline

Hi,
Is there a way to export multiple clips into separate files from the timeline. So, basically i have a time line with many clips which i need to export to individual files, not one long video. In FCP 7 I would drag all these clips into a new folder and then batch export. But in FCPX?
Thanks!

Of course i's not "half baked". Just because it lacks a feature that you want doesn't make it so.
There isn't as NLE out there that doesn't attract complaints from some users about its functionality in some area or other.
Fortunately, the fully functional trial version gives us a good chance to find out first-hand whether the design meets our requirements.

How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
Question:
How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
Help!!

No.
You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program. I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer. Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression. Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie." In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file. But in fact you are.
One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you. Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor. Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor." BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once. When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day. But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression. Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie." Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable. In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser. You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
Wow, you are right. Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that. Thanks.
Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked. Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
Correct. That box is typically checked by default. There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

Illustrator CS 2 batch export to PDF problem

I am trying to get Illustrator to batch export a number of EPS files to PDF files but I am having a problem. The first file will save-as fine and come out as a PDF but each successive file saves as a .ai file and not as a PDF.
The action is saved as follows:
Open
Save as (I selected High Quality Print as the PDF preset)
Close.
When I Batch run the action, the first one comes out as expected but thereafter they are .ai files. Is there something I am missing?

Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

Hello fellow editors!
I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.
I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

Kevin Monahan ...
Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

Exporting clips from the timeline as separate files

I captured an entire tape of video and edited out the takes, and now I would like to export individual clips that were already cut with the razor as separate Quicktime files so they can be brought into DVD Studio Pro.
Is there a way to do this other than copying each segment to a separate project and saving that way?

Create a new bin. Make the timeline active, hit command a (or select-all) drag to bin. This should create copies of all the clips in the timeline with the appropriate ins and outs. Do a batch export and make sure "export in to out" is selected.

Trying to Batch-Export Several .dv clips from one large .dv file

I'm having trouble cutting up and exporting discrete clips from larger .dv files; either it doesn't cut in the right place (weird parts of the file get glommed together), loses its audio, compresses and loses information, etc.
I'd really like to be able to cut up each file into specific clips and export them all at once (the files are roughly 13GB each), but so far everything I've tried has led to disaster, and all of the exported files are converted to .mov

S00thsayer,
The bottom line here is that if your .dv files are in FCP they are no longer . dv files.
I know that may sound heretical so some, but stay with me for a second.
Final cut will simply not edit .dv in its native state any more than it will AVCHD. What happens instead is that FCP IGNORES the audio portion of the DV stream and rewrites its own audio (32 bit float mind you, which is not the most efficient use of disc space)
Now you have a DV NTSC sequence but as far as FCP is concerned that means a .MOV shell containing video + audio. THAT is now the native state. The video has not been re-compressed yet but is still no longer experiencing life as a .dv file.
That's the first reality that you need to accept.
Next, if you do decide to export from FCP to the .dv codec I'm pretty certain that at THAT point you'll be re-compressing your video footage. So, Ironically, in an attempt to avoid generational loss by insisting that the new clips be ".dv" you actually could be making things worse.
The ONLY application in the universe that I'm aware of that will do what you're trying to do is iMovieHD 06. That application had destructive style file functionality that let you trash media that had been trimmed while still maintaining the original file directory.
Personally, I think it's incumbent upon you to inform "your boss" that his abstract idea about maintaining this media within FCP as .dv is simply fantasy.
Or continue to tell the emperor that his new clothes are beautiful !
good luck,
g
