auto-editor-export

name auto-editor-export description Export auto-editor's edit or microphone recording to a video editor (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, ShotCut, Kdenlive), to individual clips, or to auto-editor timeline files (.v1/.v2/.v3); and import timeline/XML files to render them. Use when someone wants an editor-ready project, a preserved microphone source, split clips, or timeline files instead of a finished video. Exporting & importing By default auto-editor renders a media file. --export ( -ex ) changes the target. The output extension is chosen automatically per mode. auto-editor video.mp4 -- export premiere # → video_ALTERED.xml for Premiere Pro Export targets --export For Output premiere Adobe Premiere Pro (fcp7 xml) .xml resolve DaVinci Resolve (fcpxml) .fcpxml resolve-fcp7 Resolve via legacy fcp7 xml .xml final-cut-pro Final Cut Pro .fcpxml shotcut ShotCut .mlt kdenlive Kdenlive .kdenlive clip-sequence individual media clips, one per kept segment media files v1 / v2 / v3 auto-editor timeline files .v1 / .v2 / .v3 (default) rendered media file per container auto-editor video.mp4 -- export resolve auto-editor video.mp4 -- export final-cut-pro auto-editor video.mp4 -- export clip-sequence auto-editor video.mp4 -- export v3 -o timeline.v3 Export a microphone recording Use :mic as the input and press Ctrl-C to finish capture. Editor and timeline exports keep a sibling *_RECORDING.mka source so the project remains usable: auto-editor :mic -- export resolve -o interview.fcpxml # writes interview.fcpxml and interview_RECORDING.mka With -c:a auto (the default), persistent recordings use lossless FLAC. Choose another Matroska-supported encoder explicitly; unsupported encoders fail before capture. Encoder sample rates and channel layouts are negotiated during the recording transcode. auto-editor :mic -- export resolve -c:a opus -o interview.fcpxml auto-editor :mic --sample-rate 44.1kHz -- export v3 -o interview.v3 Ordinary rendered outputs and clip-sequence use a temporary capture instead; their final audio codec still follows the output container and -c:a . Naming the timeline premiere , resolve , and final-cut-pro accept a name attr (default "Auto-Editor Media Group"). Pass extra attrs after a colon: # POSIX shells auto-editor example.mp4 -- export 'premiere:name="Your name here"' # PowerShell (double the inner quotes) auto-editor example.mp4 -- export 'premiere:name=""Your name here""' Split into clips without further editing To split at the cut points but make no other edits, set both actions to nil : auto-editor example.mp4 -w:0 nil -w:1 nil -- export premiere Importing timelines auto-editor reads timeline/XML files as inputs and renders them like any media: auto-editor myFcp7File.xml -o render.mp4 # render an fcp7 xml (experimental) auto-editor timeline.v3 -o render.mp4 # render an auto-editor timeline file Importers: auto-editor timeline files ( .v1 , .v2 , .v3 ) and FCP7 XML (experimental). The input format is detected by extension. PRs for more importers are welcome. Timeline format notes .v1 / .v2 / .v3 are auto-editor's own timeline formats; .v3 is the current layered format (supports stacked tracks / overlay compositing). See https://auto-editor.com/docs/v3 (and /docs/v1 , /docs/v2 ). Export a timeline to inspect or hand-tweak the edit, then re-import it to render. For plain rendering, edit methods, and pace, see the auto-editor skill.
