Version 2.1.0
Release date: -
- Added FCPX integration support to send the XML directly to ClipExporter without having to save and import it. Therefore you have to create a shared destination which has it´s "Open with" option set to ClipExporter in the Applications folder.
- AE: Added very basic title support. Titles are translated to simple TextLayers without any formatting.
- AE: Added support for audio files.
- AE: Added support for translation of enabled state of embedded audio.
- Added the Audio-file exporter which exports only standalone source audio files. This does not export detached audio tracks of a video clip with embedded audio.
- Added Version History window. See Menu > Window
- Added “Timeline Frame” token to the Naming Preset window. This allows to add the frame number of the clips position in the timeline. This is useful for those who want to name-sort the output video files by their occurrence on the timeline.
- RED: updated to the latest R3DSDK v5.3
- Note: Export errors due to missing bookmarks are fixed with FCPX 10.2
- Note: The export of spanned R3D, MXF and Quicktime Reference files is only supported with the non Mac App Store version of ClipExporter. Visit http://www.clipexporter.com/non-mas-clipexporter/
NON APP STORE VERSION
- The shared destination for the FCPX integration is pre-installed. No need to set this up manually.
- Bugfix RED: when exporting spanned R3D files only the first segment is named according to the naming preset
- Changed RED: if source RMD file is available, it is copied to the output RED clip folder
Version 2.0.3
Release date: 05 Jan 2014
- Added “Reveal in Finder” button to the Export Log List
- Added advanced options to offset the in-point or extend the duration of a clip. Dropframe videos sometime shift the in-point and duration by a frame. Use these options to compensate.
- RED: updated to the latest R3DSDK v5.2
- changed Log List CSV file export to comma separated. Previously, columns were separated by semicolons, which might lead to import problems in Excel in some countries.
- fixed AE: import aborts when file paths contain an apostrophe
- fixed AE: import aborts when project contains unsupported file types (like .caf files)
- AE: enhanced the unused footage and comp check during import
NON MAC APP STORE (MAS) VERSION
- Added MXF file support
- Added Quicktime Reference Movie export option to the video settings popup window. Welcome back.
- Added advanced option to use the legacy video exporter of version 1. In some rare cases AVFoundation fails to export drop frame ProRes source videos. In that case use the legacy exporter and try again.
- Added support for RED clips that consist of multiple R3D files.
- The non MAS version circumvents video exports errors related to bookmarks.
Version 2.0.2
Release date: 18 Nov 2014
- fixed App Store validation issue introduced with the update 2.0.1.
Version 2.0.1
Release date: 15 Nov 2014
- fixed AE: multicam compositions with name “(null)”
- fixed: animated two-dimensional clip adjustments in FCP X (position, anchor, scale, corner pin) could cause ClipExporter to crash or to abort the import into After Effects
- fixed: keyword metadata was not written to the video file
- added “CC 2014″ to the “Send to After Effects” option
Version 2.0.0
Release date: 10 Nov 2014
- ClipExporter has been rewritten from scratch.
- Lower memory consumption and speed increase when exporting big projects.
- Removed Roles on/ off switch. To export clips with roles assigned, simply click the checkbox for that role. Leaving all roles unchecked exports the complete timeline. Use alt+click to switch on all roles at once.
- Added an export log list panel with option to export as .csv file.
- Added a new naming panel which allows to customize file- / foldernames. Naming formats can be saved as presets for frequent usage.
- Added an auto counter. ClipExporter remembers the last counter number for each individual project and uses it on the next export session.
- Added option to export all video or nuke files to a single folder.
- AE: added “linked mode”. In linked mode ClipExporter exports the clips as trimmed video files (optionally with handles) and uses these files to reconstruct the timeline in AE. It´s similar to a “consolidate” functionality in other editing applications.
- AE: added multiple markers support. The previous version translated only the first marker on a clip.
- AE: added support for notes. Notes on clips appear as comments in AE.
- AE: added support for keyframes (see known issues below)
- AE: added placeholder creation if source files are missing during import. Replacing the placeholder with the correct file keeps all timing values intact.
- AE: (added) source files are imported only once. In the previous version, the source file is imported for each clip in the AE project. Having one source file cut into multiple clips in the FCP X timeline, produced a bulk of unnessesary files in the AE project.
- AE: (added) All multicam angles get translated. Only the layer(s) with the active angle are visible.
- AE: fixed a lot of compound clip and multicam related import issues.
- AE: added colorisation of multicam-, and compound clip layers to have a better visual separation.
- AE: Added an option to send the generated script directly to After Effects. This streamlines your workflow as you don´t have to manually run the script any more.
- AE: Added an option to precomp all clips. Available in linked mode only.
- VIDEO: added support for export of retimed clips, retimed multicams and retimed compound clips.
NOTES: Avoid reversed (retimed) clips. We found that time values for reversed clips (given by the exported fcpxml) are inaccurate.
Retimed clips inside compound or multicam clips get unretimed. The unretimed clips might exceed internally the ranges of it´s parent clips and get trimmed or truncated. Rather retime multicam or compound clips than it´s nested video clips.
- NK: The Nuke exporter works in “linked mode” only. This means that along with the nuke file a trimmed video is exported, which is refered by the Read node. This way the nuke files do not refer to the same source video files as FCP X (as in previous versions of ClipExporter).
- NK: added a Backdrop Node displaying notes, keywords, file and clip metadata
- NK: added option to choose between absolute and relative file paths for Read nodes. The files are relative to the “project directory” which is determined by the users target folder.
- RED: added R3D file support.
- VIDEO: changed Quicktime export from old QTKit to AV Foundation
- VIDEO: removed (deprecated) Quicktime reference movie export due to switch to AV Foundation
- VIDEO: added FCP X metadata support. Keywords and notes are embedded as Quicktime Metadata. Spotlight searchable. To view them open the video file in Quicktime and open the Movie Inspector (see known issues)
- VIDEO: copies Quicktime file metadata from the source media file to exported video file
Known issues:
- AE: multicam compositions are named “(null)” -> fixed with 2.0.1
- VIDEO: keyword metadata is not written to the video file (as announced) -> fixed with 2.0.1
- Animated clip properties in FCP X with an x and y value (position, anchor, corner pin with keyframes) could cause ClipExporter to crash or to abort the import into After Effects -> fixed with 2.0.1
- Missing “CC 2014″ entry on the Send to After Effects option -> fixed with 2.0.1
- Avoid reversed (retimed) clips. They are not supported right now.
- RED clips that consist of multiple file parts are not supported. This is due to ClipExporter´s restricted access to the file system. I´m searching for a solution.
- VIDEO: if the error occurs “No bookmarks found. Please re-export your project.” then please try to re-export your project in Final Cut Pro X
