Export to Premiere / Resolve — Single Clip

Adobe Premiere export

This feature is available for videos edited or reframed in Clip Studio and for clip collections located in the Home section — see Export to Premiere / Resolve — Collections. It allows you to export your clips as a project file — along with subtitles and timing data — into Adobe Premiere Pro and Da Vinci Resolve via XML for high-resolution, professional editing based on your master files sitting locally. We don’t support Avid Media Composer yet, but it’s in our roadmap for this year.

This also works for StoryLab™ automated social cuts — export any single StoryLab™ clip directly to Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.

What is Adobe Premiere Export?

This feature lets you export clips created in Clip Studio to Adobe Premiere / Da Vinci Resolve for final editing. It includes:

XML file (for timing, cuts, and reframing)
SRT file (for subtitles)
Instructions for relinking the original high-res video file

It’s ideal for transferring rough cuts or social formats into a professional post-production workflow.

When should I use Adobe Premiere Export?

Use this when you’ve:

Reframed your clips (e.g., 1:1 or 9:16)
Used scene detection to define cuts
Created a collection or saved clips in Clip Studio that are ready for export and finishing based on high-resolution files

How do I export from Clip Studio to Premiere?

In Clip Studio, finish reframing or scene-editing your clip(s).
Click the Adobe Export button.
A ZIP file will download containing: project.xml (the Adobe XML file), captions.srt (subtitle file), and instructions.pdf (step-by-step setup guide).

What do I do with the ZIP file?

Unzip the file — you’ll see the XML, SRT, and PDF.
Open Adobe Premiere or Da Vinci Resolve.
Load the XML file as a new project or import it into an existing one.
Premiere will prompt you to relink the original master file (your high-res source video): click “Locate” and select the matching video file from your local drive.

Once relinked, all edits, timing, and reframing from Clip Studio will be preserved as long as the naming convention is the same.

How do I import the subtitles?

Return to the unzipped folder.
Drag and drop the .srt file into your Premiere project panel.
Place it directly on your timeline beneath the video.
Click OK to confirm.

You can now customize subtitles (font, size, style) directly in Premiere.

What does this feature help me with?

Speeds up professional editing workflows without relying on low-resolution proxy copies
Helps you create precise single-clip cuts from specific assets (e.g., TikToks from a particular TV show or podcast). These clips can be polished and resized for different screen sizes in Imaginario AI and then sent to Premiere later.
Simplifies subtitle generation with pre-synced captions
Uses your high-quality and original media without relying on proxy copies
