FCPx export just a clip?

Anyone know of a way to export a clip that you cut from the timeline so that I can bring it into After Effects or lets say Motion? I would like to do this so that I can put my effects and import the clip back into the timeline.
Couldn't find this info in HELP manual and searching here only brought up info for OLD FCP which I tried some but doesn't work.
Thanks

  • Export just the clip that I'm on in the sequence

    Let's say I've just made a change to a clip in the sequence (an effect or whatever) and I want to confine my export to just that area.  When I say 'clip' its not a clip I have in my project window - its a clip I've created from cuts in the sequence.  So, sure, I can woefully scroll horizontally both ways until I've set the work area bar to the start and finish of my clip but what I really want to do is to be able to find a quick shortcut that would do exactly that - so that i can export just that clip.  I feel that this should be a frequent and therefore stunningly simple thing to do in PPro but, uh... no. And, of course I'm not finding a way to confine the export to just the clip from within the Media Encoder...
    I can right-click on the Work Area Bar and Mark Clip but what does a marked clip do for me?  I'm sure not seeing a way to export from there.  All I get from it is a selected (shaded) area on the time markings at the top and right-clicking there is the same right-click menu I get from within the work area bar.
    Frankly, usability weaknesses like this is what has held back PPro in the past (IMO) and the big features are nice but Apple has always had a better intuition on making their software usable.  Anyways, didn't want to rant.
    So, am I missing a quick way to do this export?  Thanks.

    I agree that 'segments' would be a good word for these cut parts of my imported clips that I have on the sequence timeline.  I think Avid uses that terminology.  My point is that since effects (Fast Color Corrector, for example) can only applied on a per-segment basis, why shouldn't exporting be permitted on a selection of these segments (one or more of segments).  Exporting is such that we want to do so to the limited extent necessary, right?
    My workflow for color correction is often to first cut imported clips into scenes based on the lighting type (color temp), then apply the FCC effect to these cut segments.  I realize keyframing would be an alternative, but I don't think that subclips would be a work-around here since they don't retain effects when they go back in the Project Window as subclips.
    So, what I was doing was trying different FCC settings on the same segment and wanted to limit my export to this segment.  Yes, I can use the Work Area Bar and all is fine, its just that why can I use 'Mark Clip' very conveniently in the timeline and then not use it for export purposes.  That would be the perfect answer to my request.  Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what 'Mark Clip' is supposed to lead to next, but I guess that's another topic.
    I've just found that zooming in on the timeline just to where my segment(s) cover almost all the area and then double-clicking on the WAB will cause the WAB to span just this area (not the whole sequence  - as the shortcut page would suggest - but just the zoomed-in section) and cuts down on the horizontal mousing around when positioning the WAB on the boundaries of the segment.  So, that's a helpful feature.  And, of course, the ALT+[ and ] shortcuts are helpful as already stated.
    Absent the scripting and expressions that After Effects has, PPro needs to make use of all the timesaving shortcuts it can, IMHO.

  • Can you explain when using keywords and addding them to various clips pressing ctrl and a number eg. 1 or 2 it simply closes down FCPX.  Just to the dock as would th yellow -sign. As you gather I am new to this program having only used Final Cut Express 4

    Can you explain when using keywords and addding them to various clips pressing ctrl and a number eg. 1 or 2 it simply closes down FCPX.  Just to the dock as would the yellow -sign.  I am new to this program having only used Final Cut Express 4 previously.

    Check System Preferences. I think Control-1 is used by something in the OS now. Switch it off. It's a major p[ain the way the OS is taking over more and more of the keyboard, allowing less options for application use.

  • How can I export a specific clip on the timeline?

    Hey all
    Ive got a specific (Compound) clip that I'd like to export as FCPX is really not handling it very well.
    Its actually sped up 1000%, has a Bad TV effect and colour changed. Its actually making the rest of my footage go out of sync with the audio (I guess its just too much for my system to handle)
    I cant simply V disable out all the rest of the clips below it (theyre mulitcam) as you cant
    select all V
    them (it just doesnt disable them all)
    without going in and disabling each and every clip how can I just export my highlighted clip?
    Thanks

  • How to export and reimport clips maintaining best quality?

    I'd like to ask a few questions.
    (1) I have several subclips in FCE that I would like to export, so I can import them back into FCE as individual clips, separate from the original capture. I would also like the option to use the exported clips in iMovie project. The most important thing is to save the clips at the highest possible quality. I ran into a problem when trying to import the clips back into FCE.
    First, I tried exporting clips using File>Export>Using Quicktime Conversion... with the following options:
    Video Settings:
    Compression Type H.264
    Quality: Best (the slider in the Settings window I dragged all the way to the right for Best quality)
    Key frame rate: 24
    Frame Reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Audio Settings:
    Format: Uncompressed
    Sample rate: 48 kHz
    Sample size: 16
    Channels: 2
    Prepare for Internet Streaming <unchecked>
    The clip was saved to disk. I didn't open or modify the clip at all.
    Then I tried using File>Import>Files... but when I tried to import it, I got this error:
    "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
    So this is the problem I'm experiencing. Can't re-import the clip into FCE (it imports into iMovie fine, though)
    Questions: Am I using "wrong" settings? Why is this happening? How can I export and reimport clips while maintaining best video and audio quality?
    (2) A couple related questions: Some of my original source video was recorded at 12-bit quality (32 kHz). I know 16-bit is best (48 kHz) but the camera I used came with factory default 12-bit (and as a novice I didn't know to change it until several months later).
    So here are my questions.
    (a) If I export these clips using audio export settings at 48 kHz instead of 32 kHz, would that cause any problems?
    (b) Would those clips then be recognized by FCE and iMovie as having 48 kHz audio even though it was originally recorded at 32 kHz? (I know the quality will be no better, but I've read somewhere that using 32 kHz audio can cause some problems with out-of-sync audio, particularly in iMovie. My hope is the new clip with the 48 kHz audio will circumvent such problems.)
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    TSchneider: Thanks again for your valuable reply. I have a few follow-up questions.
    My first set of questions is about rendering audio to 48kHz in the timeline.
    Almost immediately you'll notice that FCE has tagged the
    entire audio track with a red bar meaning it will
    need to be rendered (if you try to play the clip from
    the Canvas controls you'll just get beeping or very
    low quality sound). Go up to the Sequence menu and
    select the Render All (or Mixdown) command and FCE
    will transcode the 32kHz audio of your clip to the
    48kHz audio of the sequence it's sitting in.
    I followed your instructions and everything seemed to work until I got to the passage above. I dragged the subclips into the timeline. The clips appeared in the timeline but there was no red bar. If I chose Render All from the Sequence Menu, nothing happened. If I chose Export to Quicktime Movie, however, it takes several minutes, apparently rendering the audio and video. If I chose instead, Print to Video, the red bars do appear and the rendering process again gets going. There is a small progress bar for both operations in the center of the screen with a percent done and estimated time remaining.
    Question: Why doesn't the red bar appear as soon as the clips are in the Timeline?
    Question: Why doesn't Render All (or Render Audio) work? It would be much easier to walk away while all the audio rendered into 48kHz and then come back later to save the individual clips to disk.
    My second set of questions pertains to the possibility of using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion as a substitute for Export>Quicktime Movie, mainly for academic instead of practical reasons.
    If you export a clip directly from the bin "Using
    Quicktime Conversion" there aren't any suitable
    conversion video/audio formats that would give you
    both video in the right format (for iMovie) and
    transcode the audio to the sampling rate you want.
    I understand your description of rendering the audio files in the timeline. If only academic, I was trying to see if I could duplicate the results using using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion. I chose Quicktime Movie as the format. The video setting was DV/DVCPRO-NTSC. The audio was uncompressed with 48kHz rate. This created a Quicktime movie file with these formats. If I opened the quicktime movie file in Quicktime and checked the info on the file, the audio was indeed 48kHz.
    Question: Does this mean that the Quicktime Conversion process rendered the 32kHz audio to 48kHz audio prior to writing the file? If so, it would seem to bypass the need to render the clips in a sequence (although if I could render all the clips in the sequence at once, while I was away from the computer, it would be faster than rendering and saving each clip one at a time).
    Question: When I exported a clip this way, then imported it into iMovie, the original capture date/time info was missing when I got info on the clip. However, when I save the clip using Export>Quicktime Movie, the date/time of capture was still present. Would there be any way to preserve this date/time of capture info when using Export>Using Quicktime Conversion?
    Question: If I decided to Export>Using Quicktime Conversion with the above settings (DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, 48kHz audio) there are other options I'm given pertaining to the video settings. There are settings for Compressor Quality, with a sliding bar where you can choose Least, Low, Medium, High, and Best quality; and there is Scan Mode (interlaced or progressive). How does one choose among these? If you want the best quality exported clip, I suppose you would chose best quality, but what scan mode is "best" for my purposes -- interlaced or progressive?
    Thanks a lot for your help. I'm learning a lot!

  • I figured out how to detach audio, but cannot figure out how to export JUST the audio to send as MP3. How specifically do I do it?

    I have figure out how to detach my audio from my video clip, but I tried to just range select the audio and export just that, but the video keeps going with it. How can I JUST export the audio? I am a musician and need to make an MP3 out of it to send out.
    Please be as specific as possible if you can in explaining and thank you so much for any help you might be able to offer.

    You don't need to detach the audio. Export a master file and in settings you get the option to export audio only.

  • In Prelude is it possible to export my sub clips as complete files?

    I work at a youth sports camp, and have a massive amount of footage to work with each week to create a highlight video. The video used is collected by multiple employees with different skill levels. Is it possible with Prelude to save just the sub clips from the ingested footage? Or do I need to save the original file that the subclip is linked to? I would like to cut out any bad footage from the weekly bin before editing begins.
    Thanks

    Hi –
    In Prelude CS6 there isn’t any method for exporting just subclips as new media files. However, you can select your subclips and send them into Premiere Pro from Prelude using the “Send to Premiere Pro…” menu command under the FILE menu. This will package your subclips and create items in Premiere Pro’s project panel which you can then easily export into new files on disk.
    Thanks for making the post and the request. We have heard this request from others as well and are looking into this workflow for Prelude.
    Thanks!

  • Why does my HD fill up on export of 3min clip? (MBA 13 2011 FCP X 10.0.4)

    I'm on a macbook air 2011 13inch runing 10.7.3  with 37gb of free space and I'm trying to export a 3 mintue clip I put together in Final Cut Pro X (version 10.0.4).  When I go to share the clip (720p 1080 x 720 24p video) to an h.264 quicktime video, my hard drive fills up completely before the export is finished causing me to force quit FCP X and reboot to re-claim my missing hard drive space.  I've run space gremlin after one of these HD filling cycles and can't identify where the space is going...this is the first time I've experienced this with FCP X, other projects have exported just fine.  Going to try copying the project to an external USB drive, but that not doesn't really resolve this insanely baffling situation.

    Did you ever take your computer in to the Apple Store?  I'm experiencing the same thing--70GB free on my Air's hard drive, but while trying to export a 4-minute clip out of FCP X, I, too, watch my hard drive space dwindle down to MBs, and of course my system then freezes up.
    I've been having to transfer projects and events to an older iMac to get them into delivery format.
    This has happened now with 3 separate FCP X projects.  Curious to hear what they said if you took yours in.

  • Exporting a move clip with alpha channel

    Hi there,
    I’m trying to export a move clips with alpha channel.
    I’m trying to export an animation with Premiere CS5. I made an animation of a rotating object in Maya and exported it with alpha channel as tiff images. Then they are edited with Photoshop to give them a drop shadow.
    My problem is this. Can I export this tiff animation with the alpha channel?
    My plane is to use move clips over backgrounds in a game – depending on the result there are different animations playing on top of several different backgrounds. There for the objects has to have a transparent/alpha channel over the backgrounds.
    Again the reason for this is the complexity of the game and to make the game looking as real as possible. I’m hoping for some help here to make my plan possible
    …thanks

    Thanks alot for the help.
    But now I’m wondering how to get the file size down?
    The 32bit and alpha channel just increase the file size from about 1MB to 9,3MB, which is pretty much??
    …any ides mate?

  • How can I select just the clips, or just the transitions?

    If I have a timeline with 50 or more clips (or still shots, in my case) with cross dissolves between each one, I would like to select just the clips, or just the transitions, but not both. How do I do this?
    Why? I am creating a video with hundreds of stills and a few video clips, and occasiionally need to change the duration of all stills at the same time (from 3 seconds to 4, for example). Or, if I want all of the cross dissolves to last 1:15 instead of 1:00, it would be nice to select and change them all at once. However, in both cases, I can't figure out how to select all 50 without having to Command-click 50 times.
    Any ideas you have will be appreciated.
    Bart

    To perform the same duration change on just the transitions (cross dissolves, in this example), this technique will work:
    Open timeline index.
    Enter "cross" in the search box (or whatever transition you're wanting to change).
    Select all cross dissolves in list (click one, then type Command-A).
    Click the time strip in the top of the timeline area.
    All of the transitions in the list should now be selected in the timeline.
    Control-D to change duration.
    Enter new duration.
    Hit Return.
    I hope this saves someone all of the time I spent on it today. I'm still ahead, though, thanks to Tom's help. This saved litterally hundreds of Command-clicks.

  • Any way to export just an audio file?

    Hi All
    Is there any way to copy part of a larger audio file, paste it in another track (or open it in the file editor) process it in some way and then export just that file? Been reading manual and books, but this one has me stumped. Only see tracks and busses for export.
    Thanks
    John

    If anyone is interested, and it seems not, a helpful person another list answered my question: copy snippet from one file onto another track; solo new track; select just snippet; save. Finally I can add time-based effects to parts of a larger audio file!

  • Can I export just the "show" conditional text to a mif?

    When I export a document with conditional text to a pdf, just the conditional text that is set to "show" (and the unconditional text) appears in the pdf.  That's good, but I want the same thing when exporting a mif.  There are two reasons for this:
    (1)  We have an in-house tool that parses a mif and extracts data from certain tables to populate a database.  The tool doesn't parse pdfs.  And the tool won't always handle conditional text correctly, particularly conditional text table rows.  The tool would work fine if the conditional text were already "resolved" during the export to mif.
    (2)  I'd like to use the Boolean logic for conditional text that is available in FM9, but I need to furnish files to other groups in the company that use FM7.  Their FM7 wouldn't display conditional text properly if it depended on anything other than OR logic.  But they would be happy to accept mif files that didn't have any conditional text because it had been "resolved" when I generated a mif7 file for them.
    I've tried various ways to convert a pdf into a mif file, but no process seems to preserve the formatting and the editable text. I'd be willing to accomplish this in some round-about fashion involving Framemaker, Acrobat Pro and/or some other tool. 
    But the happiest outcome for me would be to discover that FM9 already has the ability to export just the "show" conditional text and the unconditional text to a mif. 
    Or can this be done by making a copy of the document and then somehow automating the deletion of the "hide" conditional text and the conversion of the "show" conditional text to unconditional?

    Or can this be done by making a copy of the document and then somehow automating the deletion of the "hide" conditional text and the conversion of the "show" conditional text to unconditional?
    Writing a custom script to filter the MIF to parse out the conditions is non-trivial. You can try a Google search for an existing filter or script that does the job. However, if there is no such thing, then you're on the right track, getting FM to do the hard part - filtering the conditionalized content correctly. For example:
    * In a copy of the original file, delete the condition(s) you want to hide; during the deletion, you have the option to delete the corresponding text. Then save as MIF to a descriptive name, or save as .fm to a new name, then open and save that file as MIF. Close the source file without saving.
    * Reopen the source file and do the same process from this fresh instance, deleting the condition(s) you want to show. Save as above.
    * Within FM itself, however, there's no way to automate this process. With one of the free FM utilities - dobatch from cudspan, or dzbatcher from datazone - you can script opening and saving an FM file as MIF. Search Google for dobatch, cudspan, dzbatcher, or datazone.
    * To automate setting the conditions, a keystroke-macro recorder might serve, otherwise you'd need the commercial FrameScript product, and a customized script if there's no existing script for this purpose. For FrameScript info, check with Rick Quattro at frameexpert.com. 
    * If you're using Structured FrameMaker and have the expertise available to customize an EDD, you could take advantage of the "filter by attribute" feature, but it's not trivial to adopt Structured FM just for this narrowly-focused need.

  • Filliable PDF to Excel- tell me Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields?

    I created a filliable form with over 100 sections. I purchased Adobe's ExportPDF to extract the information to and Excel sheet. However every time I upload a completed PDF it only converts the format and doesn’t capture any of the fields’ typed information. I thought that was why I named each field something when creating the form.
    Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields? 

    Hi,
    ExportPDF is just a convertion tool, it is not meant for extracting information out of the form.
    You may want to consider Adobe Acrobat.  You can extract information from form fields via Tools> Forms > More Form Options > ExportData.  If you'd like to try it out, we offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat X Professional for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

  • How to export just a portion of video in PE9?

    I just upgraded to PE9 (from PE2) and cannot find the same menu options that let me export just a portion of my video to a file or DVD.  anyone know where these settings are?  Looked in the PDF online, but no luck finding this info.
    thanks
    david

    David,
    Besides the Share to Disc limitation of using the WAB, there are a few other Export options where it will not be available, but for most options it is. Here is a look at the WAB (Work Area Bar), and how it is set:
    Hope that this helps and good luck,
    Hunt
    PS - if you want to Burn to Disc, only a portion of the Timeline, you can do that, though not as directly, as the above WAB limiting. You would first Open your Project, and then do a Save_As, renaming to something like Project Name_Short (very important), and then Delete the elements that you do not want. When done, do a Save of this edited Project, and then Burn to Disc from it. As you did a Save_As first, you still have your original Project un-edited and safe. That is why the Save_As step is so very important.

  • How to export just a little piece of a comp?

    Can I export just a little piece of the comp rather than "Export active comp to new track" which delivers the whole comp?
    After I comp my take and then listen to it again, sometimes I just want to go back and change one little part. The workflow would be alot easier if I could just export a small part, either with the loop indicator or another way.
    Thanks.

    Try hold the shift key while comping. This allows you to adjust the boundaries of one take, without filling in the area from another take. You can make holes, or create a comp with just one phrase. You'll probably end up with a couple of really narrow slices on a couple takes in the middle of a blank area - just grab and move them all the way to the edge with the regular swipe tool. Also when you now export, or move, this comp you may end up with a couple extra regions on the very front and back of the whole take area, but those are easy enough to delete.
