Advanced Batch Rendering (Individual Clips)

By default, when you export a timeline, Oraphim renders a Single Clip. It takes all the cuts, transitions, layers, and audio on your timeline and flattens them into one continuous video file.

However, there is an incredibly powerful alternate mode called Individual Clips.

The Individual Clips Workflow

At the very top of the Render Settings panel, you will see two tabs: Single Clip and Individual Clips.

If you select Individual Clips, Oraphim completely ignores the concept of a cohesive timeline. Instead, it looks at every single cut on your track, and renders each one out as an isolated, standalone video file.

If you have 50 cuts on your timeline, pressing Render will generate 50 separate .mov or .mp4 files in your destination folder.

Use Case 1: VFX Turnovers

You are the lead editor on an indie film. The director locks the picture. You have 30 shots that need visual effects (like removing safety wires or adding muzzle flashes), but the VFX artist is using Nuke or After Effects, not Oraphim.

1. Place all 30 shots on a timeline.
2. Select Individual Clips.
3. Set the Format to EXR or ProRes 4444.
4. In the File tab, check Use unique filenames and select Source Name.
5. Render. Oraphim will automatically churn out 30 pristine master files, perfectly named to match the original camera media, ready to be sent to the VFX house.

Use Case 2: Stock Footage Creation

You just shot 5 hours of beautiful nature B-roll. You want to color-grade the best parts and upload them to a stock footage website (like Shutterstock or Pond5) as individual clips.

1. Put the 5 hours of footage on a timeline.
2. Go through with the blade tool and chop out the bad parts, leaving only the usable 10-second clips.
3. Color grade them.
4. Select Individual Clips.
5. Render. Oraphim will output hundreds of separate, color-graded stock clips automatically, saving you hours of manual exporting.

Important Note on Effects

When exporting Individual Clips, the render engine processes the clips from the bottom up. It will render the color grade, but it will ignore transitions (like cross-dissolves), text titles, and adjustment clips that span across multiple cuts. It is designed solely for turning over raw media.
