Exporting clip from timeline as QT movie

Hi all
Is there an easy way to export as a QT movie a clip (or series of clips, 'mixed') to a QT movie with the same format as the timeline for easy re-importing? I often find myself wanting to export a group of clips (with matte, text or effects, perhaps) and then re-import it as one easy to manage clip. A kind of 'bounce selected clips to disk'kind of deal. I know I can export the whole timeline, but I often want to export just a bit of the timeline.
I hope that makes sense
Regards
Stephen

Absolutely. It is a basic function and I use it all the time.
Export a Quicktime Movie (first option in the list) making it self contained and using the sequence settings. You will end up with a clip that is independant and has the same settings as your sequence...no loss in quality whatsoever.

Batch Exporting Clips from timeline in Final Cut Pro X

So ive looked at many forums and many sources and I know this isn't the first time this question has been asked.....but I was
wondering how I would be able to batch export clips from the timeline (about 100 or so) to use as Content for VJing (live media manipulation). Is there a simple way to acomplish this in Final Cut Pro X... I have heard remours that you can cut multiple clips in Quicktime Pro 7 but im not sure how eficiant this is, I also have heard that this is allot easier to acomplish in Final Cut Pro 7. If anybody knows a simple (and quick way) to acomplish this Im all ears!

If you want to batch export parts of your project, I believe that you'd better served by an external utility, like QTCoffee. Export your movie to Quicktime, and then use QTCoffee to create the various bits in one, er... batch.

No more exporting clips from Source Monitor in Premiere CS6?

In Premiere CS4 I used to double click a clip on timeline (to open it in Source Monitor), and then immediately hit File>Export Media. It would then automatically selelct this specific clip for export without the need to set In and Out points. In Premiere CS6 it doesn't seem to work, meaning that if I want to export individual clips from timeline, I need to create In and Out points for each export , which is quite time consuming comparing to CS4, especially when working with many clips. I already found 2 useful features, that were just eliminated in Premiere CS6, and I don't understand why to destry something that works?!
Or is there another way to do it?

CS6 works just like CS4 did on this one.
Not in my case (I'm on Mac, maybe in Windows it's different?): in CS4 I double-click a clip in a timeline, it opens in the source monitor, and I click Export. I immediately get only this specific cut selected as a work area without any need to mark in/out, or to define work area. In CS6 just doesn't happen... Can you confirm that CS6 also does it and can you tell me your configuration and version?

Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

So I bought a video on iTunes, how do I make it compatible with iMovie so I can edit it and make my own video? If I can't do this, then how do those people on YouTube make videos with clips from TV shows and Movies?

Move clips from timeline to event sub folder?

Aloha,
Is there a way to move clips in the timeline that I have cleaned into a sub folder in an event library?
I come from a non FCP background and still trying to wrap my mind/workflow around the FCP formula. Generally I clean clips and drop "some" into a "to be used later" folder.
Example - While on location I might shoot some location shots while im waiting around. The locations shots will use in the last 3 mintues of a 25 minute finished project. When I get to post I edit and clean all clips in the order they are received. When I find the location clips I simply move them to a folder labled "to be used later". When I get to the section of the project/timeline were the clips are needed I drag them or the entire folder into the timeline.
I see how to make a folder inside an event but I am not able to drag a clips from the timeline to this created folder. I have tryied to hold down Shift, CMD, OPT, CTRL and have no sucess.
Thanks you for your time and help.

Aloha Fox,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I feel you really understood my concern and gave me some good viable options.
There is a lot for me to learn and unlearn. I have been editing for over 16 years and most of that time I was using Edius. This is big paradigm shift coming to the Mac and FCPX.
The idea for me is to edit the video and move the "to be used later clips" into a bin/folder instead of moving them to the location in the timeline were they will be used at that very moment. Its just a preference, I know plenty folks would just move the clip to the location. Edit software is just a tool I have to decide if FCPX is the right tool for me.
Thank you again Fox for your time and understanding of my question.
Be blessed,
Frederick

Exports differing from timeline/weird stuff

Hi everyone.
A couple of weird little problems going on here that I thought you may have bumped into. We're running FCP 7, AJA Kona LHi cards for I/O, snow leopard.
It is an education institution technically so the machines do get a fair bit of use, but I've checked all usual sequence settings, trash prefs etc..
We're running into multiple problems: clips suddenly having time-code generator filters applied to them out of nowhere (not all clips in timeline), crossfades applied to almost all clips on the timeline (this couldn't be a user error selecting all and hitting command + T since some don't have fades even though there are handles) and most annoyingly, exports differing from the timeline. For instance, I applied a blur to a duplicate of a clip, matted it out to only affect a certain area of the clip. On export, there is a quick grey flash and then the brightness of the whole image drops for one frame. Doesn't do it in the timeline.
We're also experiencing tiny little zooms at the beginning and end of frames on some exports. We think we might have this one solved as it's only happening on footage shot on the Panasonic AG-AF101 which was transferred straight into ProRes without going natively to AVC first, which has resulted in some strange interlacing problems compared with 5D footage in the same timeline, also transcoded to the same ProRes settings. We rendered everything to ProRes LT then exported and this seems to have got rid of it.
ANYWAY, sorry for such a long post but I just wondered if anyone has seen stuff like this, bearing in mind that we're always working with the correct sequence settings with decent editing codecs (usuallly prores), and if anyone has any tips..
Cheers!
Kit

This is months later, I know, but I'm wondering if people are still having problems with this.
I'm shooting on the ag af-101 and transfering the folder in it's entirety to a hard drive, then logging and transfering into final cut 7. Pro res 422.
What I'm getting is, I think, what a previous contributor mentioned - a strange strobing or what I would call a juddering on some footage.
It seems to be on pans and reveals but also on movement of characters within a motionless frame.
It's possible it has something to do with the camera but it seems more likely to be a final cut issue.
Any thoughts?

Export clips from a sequence seperately with effects as a batch export in CS 5.5

Hi there,
I'd like to know if there is any possibility to export all clips from a sequence/timeline seperately with all applied effects as a batch export or similar in CS 5.5.
I know there is a chance to do that via the project manager, but a far as I know this way doesn't include the applied effects on each clip.
Thanks for your help in advance...
Marc.

The only way to export a single clip with effects is to manually set up each individual export. This applies to all version of PP.

Problems with exporting clips from GoPro cam

hi!
I am using PP cs3 and it works fine with DV and HDV. But I am having problems exporting vids from GoPro (spec: http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=7). When I render it everything looks fine, but when I export it seems to repeat frames (ex. surfer jumps from surfboard twice)... first few seconds of the exported video works fine, than the repeated frames start to appear and it only gets worse towards the end... so far I got the best results with Quicktime (H.264) but still repeating toward the end...
(gopro from 1.15 to 2.47 @ http://www.vimeo.com/6231114)
I have a laptop, core2duo 2GB, 2gb ddr2 800mhz and nvidia wtih cuda acc., 320gb disk, and everything works fine (maybe a little slow ), even HDV videos from canon A1, I am only having problems with the gopro ... please help...
thanks
Mitja

Received another reply from Gopro support:
"We've heard of compatibility issues in Premiere with the .avi files. One possible way around this is to first save the .avi file as a .mov file using a program such as imovie or quicktime pro. Hopefully this clears up the editing issues for you."
I still haven`t gave up, so I`ve tried exporting in .mov with Sorenson codec and Sorenson 3... works perfektly but now the speed od the clip is increased, so the picture is not tuned with sound anymore . Unfortunately the codecs settings can`t be configured via Premiere...

Exporting clips from one file

I am trying to export clips in Quicktime format onto a cd for someone else to edit.
I imported a sequence from FCE that appeared as one clip in iMovie 06. I split the clips. There are 32 separate clips now. I need to copy these onto a cd so that someone else can edit them into a movie. When I tried copying them, the clips appeared as one file NOT 32 separate clips.

.. a bit exotic, that workflow.. ? why not using FCE for that task..
in iM:
select/'highlight' the clip, goto export, check the box 'selected clips only', choose FullQuality or whatever quality.. done.
note: a CD fits 3secs of dv.. probably a dataDVD is better, an external Harddrive best practice..

PROBLEM SOLVED "export clips from Color back into FCP & add transition"

If I have two clips that you cannot place a transition in between here is the only thing that worked for me.
I discovered this problem after I exported my movie clips from FCP 6 to Color and imported the color corrected files from Color back into FCP 6. I could no longer add transitions to any of my clips unless I made the following changes.
1. 1st check to see if the video clip has an audio track underneath it. If they are not linked Select the audio and the video track to be linked, hit Command "L" and you will see an underline under the audio and video name to show that they are now linked. Do the same for the adjoining video and audio track.
2. Next select all of the clips after the video clip you just selected by typing "tttt" this changes to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool". Click on the track after the video track you just linked and it will select all of the tracks thereafter. Hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and move all of the selected tracks away from the previous video/audio track.
3. Next type "RR" this will change to the "Ripple" tool. Now click on end of the video track on the previous video clip and type -15 (for negative 15 frames). Then click on the beginning of other video clip to the right that you linked and type +15 (for plus 15 frames).
4. Type "tttt" to change back to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool" the hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and drag all tracks back together again.
5. You may then drag and drop your transition in between both video clips.
I hope this helps someone...this is the only thing that worked for me!!!

I am working with mostly DVCPro ftg, with a few clips in MiniDV. I did have roughly 10 clips with speed changes, but they exported fine two weeks ago, when I did this the first time. (Actually, it didn't keep the speed changes, but it did export with media to FCP).
The clips do have reel numbers and seem to be of the right length per clip but there's just no picture and no assoicated media with which to relink the clip.
I'm on Color 1.5.3
Any possible ideas? Thank you for your help...

Cannot playback clips from timeline

Problem: in iMovie HD5, I can only see a white screen when I click on the video clips in the timeline of my iMovie projects. At first the marker moved across the screen with no picture and no sound, but now I can't even get the marker to move across. Basically nothing happens when I click on a clip from the timeline now. Tried several projects and same thing. However, I CAN play and view the clips from the clip section that's to the RIGHT of the screen. Has anyone encountered this before?
So far, I've tried restarting my computer, throwing away the iMovie.plst file in my Library, in movie preferences changing the quality of the playback. I also have about 100 gb of space on my harddrive, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Thanks!
Lisette

Hi, sorry I've been on vaca. and away from the internet...
Hope you got the problem solved, but if you're still having it...I just copies and pasted this message I sent when I was able to resolve the problem:
-Hi Bengt,
Well, this morning I went through older iMovie projects and found that they worked fine. So I went back to the more recent ones where I was having the problem. It was strange, the pointer on the screen would scroll across as if it were playing, but again, blank screen and no sound. I tried different settings in imovie preferences but had no luck.
Then, on one movie I made a small change- I deleted a transition, closed and saved the project, and then when I reopened it it worked fine. So I did this with the rest of the lot and they all seem to be working normally again! Go figure!
So essentially - I went in to the project that was having the problem and made a minor change. Saved it, reopened it and then it was back to normal.
Also, when wierd things happen I like to shut down my computer and then turn it back on... I'm not technical, but I've had a lot of luck with that when programs are acting quirky.
Cheers,
Lisette

Deleting clip from Timeline does not throw off sync

My editor just discovered when she deletes a clip from the Timeline, with locked audio tracks, the clips are not flagged as out of sync...the red out-of-ssync indicators do not appear.
I took the sequence in question and copy/pasted it into a new sequence. Interestingly there were a few out of sync clips with red indicators although the source sequence had no such red indicators. I then ripple deleted a clip from the head of the sequence and all of the red indicators disappeared from the Timeline.
If I ripple delete a clip further down the Timeline, only the red indicators after that point disappear.
This is under FCP 6.04.
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks for your help.

are the audio and video clips "unlinked?" not sure if that would make a difference, but worth a look see.
Might try deleting preferences.

Remove clip from timeline?

This seems like it should be something really simple. But how the heck do you remove a clip you added to the timeline but do not want in there anynmore?

To delete a clip from the timeline, click the Drag icon and drag the clip off the Timeline. A red X wil appear:
