Answers.Body: <p>You can export your clips using one of the lossless options (e.g. Quicktime/PNG or Quicktime/Animation).</p>
  
  <p>Notice that this will result in very large files so make sure that you have enough space.</p>

Body: <p>Is there a way to use premiere like the hundreds of other "cheap" video cutters out there?</p>
  
  <p>I need a quick way to select a portion of video, for example our source footage is often 1h long, and we need to cut out many 30s clips.</p>
  
  <p>However, this needs to be a fast process, and we cant re-compress those clips on the export.</p>
  
  <p>We have premiere pro, can this do the job? Every time I try, it wants to compress the footage.</p>

  I know this is an old question abandoned by the asker, but I use `ffmpeg` to [stream copy](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-copy) (re-mux) sections.
  
  # Example 1: Single output
  
  Skip first 14 minutes and make a 30 second output:
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -ss 00:14:00 -i input -t 30 -c copy -map 0 output
  
  ```
  
  * This will not re-encode, so the process is quick and preserves the quality.
  * Depending on your input format the output may not be exactly from the desired time, but usually it's close enough. See the `-ss` option in the [FFmpeg documentation](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Main-options) for more info.
  
  # Example 2: One segment of every *n* seconds
  
  Use the segment muxer:
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -i input -c copy -map 0 -segment_time 30 -f segment output%03d.foo
  
  ```
  
  * This will not re-encode, so the process is quick and preserves the quality.
  * Note that splitting may not be accurate, unless you force the reference stream key-frames at the given time. See the [segment muxer documentation](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#segment_002c-stream_005fsegment_002c-ssegment) for more info.
