Exporting 50 clips.

[Robbie Comeau]

Hey guys,

I have students preform 50 exercises.

In my final cut timeline, I am editing all 50 clips, in the same timeline.

My client wants the following:

When you go to the website, you should see 50 links. Every link is the exercise the students preform.

Each exercise is roughly 8-15 seconds long.

Right now, I'm editing it just in one time line. When I'm done, I'm going to want to export each exercise as one clip. So in the end, I'll have 50 different clips.

What's the best way to export this? Deleting all the clips except the one I want, then export, then undo and go to next clip? Or just make 50 sequences?

Here's os an image of my timeline, each green marker indicating the next exercise. I have about 30 done so far.

Thanks!

Robbie

you can just set in and outputs before you export each one and keep it all in one timeline

Oh, and I can just name each file I'm assuming right?

Awesome, thanks!

Yeah depends how you are exporting them. If you are using compressor you do it through compressor and if you are doing quicktime conversion even easier.

youll have to set in out points for one clip at a time incase you didnt know

 

[Robbie Comeau]

Yea thought so.

Thanks

I wonder if you could nest your timeline, then as you go through to set your in/out, drag form your canvas to the batch export window.. that way instead of doing 50 in/outs and 50 exports, you'll do 50in/outs but all will export at once...?

Will this divide them into 50 separate video files?

Hmm.. nevermind... I tried to do this in FC but it looks like that doesn't work... there must be a faster way.
