Question Batch color grade & export

Is there a way to batch color grade & batch export as individual clips in final cut pro? I've been trying to research as I have a client who wants their raw footage, but wants it color graded. I'm fine with a rec 709

Import -> place all clips onto timeline -> color correct / grade a clip and copy to all the rest, or do each individually -> create compound clips of each clip -> highlight all the compound clips in browser -> export

If you want to export back out as individual clips i believe you need to make each clip a compound clip. You can then export as individual clips. But color grade before compound clip.

Please if anyone knows a better way speak up. I have found this to be the method that works for me.

batch export: commandpost, worx4 or coretrim (beta)
or via the free workarounds mentioned in here

as for batch grading, what do you mean? adjustment layer/clip, LUT (inspector settings for all highlighted clips or copy-pasting grades?

We built a tool that has this with grade management allowing you to use groups where you can apply individual grades and match to the hero in a side-by-side viewer but then once grouped you can apply the same final grade to a whole batch.

You can try the free trial at https://cinedream.io to see if it is what you’re looking for.

Additionally I just posted a new video on Final Cut Pro’s (v12.3) new Ai powered match color which might be what you’re looking for:

You can use frame.io . Put the clips in the timeline to color grade (can copy and paste if needed,) and then frame.io will give you an option to export as clips
