How to render multiple edits of the same clip as one?

PostTue Jun 26, 2018 2:00 pm

Hi there,

I hope the title is not too confusing :)

I have a timeline that I want to export as individual clips. Now I have the same clip edited more than once, e.g. the beginning and the end of the same clip.
When I render, I want to have it as a single clip, not as two individual clips; I'm aware that the clip might be a lot longer than I actually need it, but still.

I can enable such an option when I consolidate and trim a project, but I have no idea how to set this for a render.

//edit
Further: how about multiple timelines. For example, I have a 60sec film and a 30s "cutdown". We all know that cutdowns are rarely cutdowns and even many handles can be insufficiant.
Is there a way to "join" two timelines to the max length of each clip used?

This was requested lots of times from Flame artists as this works better for them. It was claimed Baselight is able to do this.

Any intel on how this is done?

Best,
Lucas

You will get a cut clip as one clip. Unfortunately, it will only be the last part of that clip, as it overwrites the first part.

Put another way, I don't believe you can get what you want here. You'll not only have to live with two clips, but you'll have to export them separately using custom names to make sure they don't overwrite each other.

Well the overwriting is a non-issue using pre-owned/suffix or seperate folders, but no function to join same clips or edits?

I mean, if my cutdown is no direct cutdown I have to export every clip two or three times because that's father than manually checking each timeline?

When you export as individual clips, they come out as one file per clip in the timeline. They's just how it was designed to work. And it does make the most sense.

The only idea I can think to recommend is to make your separate adjustments using keyframes, instead of cutting the clip.

Have a look in the manual, delivery page, about commercial workflow.

I guess you already understood that I'm well aware of how that function works as is, I'm searching for additional functionality though :) It makes also sense to export a clip once instead of two times, the consolidate can do that too. It depends on your needs, it's a comfort-function that makes a hell of a lot of sense in many cases :)

Hi Peter,

I followed your hint but I don't quite get it -
Automatically renders every version that’s applied to each clip in the session, except for versions that have been flagged using the “Render Disabled” flag, found in the Version submenu for each clip in the Timeline. This option is typically used when you’ve graded multiple versions of a clip to be used for VFX work, and you want to deliver each grade as a separate media file.
This seems to be the exact opposite of what I'm searching. I don't need multiple versions of the same clip, I need edits of the very same clip in one "big clip" instead of individual ones.
Like if I enabled ""Consolidate multiple edit segments into one media file" within the Media Management, but with grading. Commercial workflow looks like only beeing able to render multiple grading-versions and TC offsets ?

Best,
Lucas
