ThreadText: # Export multiple clips from one video as separate files
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-21)
  
  I'm looking for video editing software with a GUI that will fit my needs.
  
  I've downloaded the video of the public comments from our most recent local city council meeting. 17 people gave public comments.
  
  Here's basically what I want to do:
  
  1. Create 16 breakpoints, separating each individual's comments.
  2. Select/highlight those 17 clips.
  3. Click 'export selected clips to directory'.
  4. Choose the directory and click 'save'.
  5. Go to the grocery store .
  6. Get home & go to the folder on my computer with 17 files named `comment-1.mp4`, `comment-2.mp4`, `comment-3.mp4`, ... `comment-17.mp4`.
  7. Upload them to my site / youtube / whatever.
  
  **I'm using Ubuntu 19.10.**
  
  * I have tried Kdenlive, which just froze when adding a 30-minute video, and I don't know if it has batch export anyway
  * I tried Blender, and couldn't figure out a way to batch export like this. I was able to export clips one at a time, but it was extremely cumberson
  * I'm now using Shotcut, which has made exporting clips one at a time super easy, but I can't figure out how to (or if I can do) a batch export as described above
  
  I've looked at several different articles about editing software, and I can't seem to find this functionality listed. I'm not sure I'm searching with the correct terms.
  
  1. Is there software for linux / ubuntu that will do what I want (with a GUI)? Which software?
  2. If Shotcut can do it, how?
  
  My preference is open source software. Free, too.
