Export different than preview

borate

Is there a way to only export a small portion of the video ie start and end point for the sequence as you would with an individual clip?

Create a new blank sequence by clicking the + on the sequence tab above the timeline.

In the initial sequence select (highlight) the clips to be exported and press <ctrl-C> to copy.

Switch to the newly created sequence by clicking on its tab.

Position the scrubber (red line) at the head of that blank sequence and press <crtl-V> to paste.

Export that sequence.

You can upload that or the entire project and share it privately via a personal message to me or Nat. It won't be seen in the forum.

Perfect, thanks for the tip on partial exports.

I just had a look at a couple of the last segments I added to the sequence. One of them was 1080 x 1920, whereas all the other segments are 1920x1080.
I'm guessing that when you start the export and it looks at all the files, it's seeing this last segment as the rule for the resolution.... maybe?

Solved.... in the time I was typing this post the export test finished and that was it. The last segment res is what governed the cropped output.
I was sure that I tried the "force" option once when exporting but regardless it didn't seem to work like I thought it would.

Next I will add back in the template for the scaling and I should be fine. Then I'll figure out how to use the odd segments step at a time.

Thanks for the input people!

The "auto-match" export setting is a suggestion. In the preset or resolution fields, you can select the desired output.

I believe it did "auto-match" to the odd size video clip and that's what set the video final resolution, therefore corrupted.

I found the corruption though. The one video segment reports 1080 x 1920, with a/r of 9:16. Backwards compared to everything else. I tried to change the a/r and the cropping and while it did look different in the sequence it would not render properly.

I was able to render this segment alone and then insert it back in the original sequence and it's fine. Not sure why it works that way but it's the only method that worked.

borate.....whatever you have done. However you fixed it. You sir are a fucking genius. I am so so happy with it now and it's perfect. exactly what I imagined. I still can't wqork out what the issue was but you defo did!

Thank you so so much!

Tracey will be a happy girl.

There were scroll-direction issues with recent VP versions, so if you weren't using the latest then that could have contributed.

Next time, follow Nat's suggestions on project layout and you should be fine; it gets easier...😉
