auto-editor-export

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

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.

bash

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

bash

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:

bash

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.

bash

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:

bash

# 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

:

bash

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:

bash

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.
