Two years later still helping us newbies haha. Perfect solution to graded clips. Thank you!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I was wondering how on earth I was going to get keyword clip batches to a client rendered correctly and in bulk. So grateful to come across this and learn the frame.io option. You guys rock!

Thank you for all the support you give to us. Your business is being blessed by your blessings to those of us that are starting off with FCPX and learning advanced techniques from people like you. Have a great Christmas as well and thank you for saying Christmas. ;)

For folks who are finding that FCPX is only exporting a single clip, here is what Frame.io support told me:
 FCPX only exports a single file from the timeline. With the Frame.io integration, the XML file that is generated alongside the .mov will then split up that one single clip into multiple clips as a post-process. The multiple clips will not be uploaded to Frame.io until the export has been fully completed. I would recommend waiting for the export to finish and give the mac app some time to start uploading the individual files to Frame.io.

Saved me from "car-pool-tunnel", I was about to compound 600+ clips lmao

Frame.io doesn't show up anymore on my FCPX 10.5 and when I click the gear on frame io, there's no more option install export settings on fcpx

Good video for batch export. The only problem I have is I get the individual clips plus everything on the timeline as one big clip whereas you didn't what am I doing wrong?

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you also. Without Ripple Training and MacBreak Studio, many of us would have had a much steeper learning curve so please allow me to use this occasion to thank you for your dedication and what can only be described as utter kindness.

Thx for your video. Just wanna ask something more. When i did this with frame io i saw all rendered files with same thumbnails in my computer . I cant get any answer from Frameio team :(

[ImaginetMedia]

I did a shoot with Anna Russel in NYC, she's an amazing dancer.

The Range tool can be used to select the clips you want to export as well and then go about it the usual exporting way.

Great tip! Thank you!!! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

[adreanchalas]

but is the quality the same? what exactly is rendered clips anyway? also I usually send clips to clients with dropbox to you agree? and should I use h264 or pro res

[DamianBartolacci]

I've been using this great tip for a while! however, it doesn't seem to be working anymore. Do you have to have a paid subscription in order for it to export individual clips? I can still export but when I choose to export clips with markers it outputs one long clip instead of individuals.

Hello thanks for the video, i just install Frame io but i can not find the frame io export presets, i have the icon of frame io in final cut, but i can not find where i can
enable it.

[hamstergraphics]

That's great - Would it export anything that's linked to the clip? Like a title or image on top? What about if the clip had transitions? Would they export?

[elevatordailies]

Merry Christmas to everyone! Thank you Steve for another great video and love your outfit by the way!

[lawaynebon]

this is great but it doesn't number the files in the order on the timeline. I tried to view by date added and it exports them out in alphabetical order so that doesn't help either.
