Export to Premiere / Resolve — Collections
This export option is ideal when you have pulled clips from multiple different videos across your content library (e.g., an entire season of a TV show, or all your podcasts from the past few months or years). 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 an XML project file for high-resolution, professional editing based on your master files sitting locally. It’s especially useful for sophisticated compilations, stringouts, rough cuts, social media highlights, montages, or thematic reels. We don’t support Avid Media Composer yet, but it’s in our roadmap for this year.
Multi-video cuts from StoryLab™ can also be exported directly to Premiere or DaVinci Resolve this way.
What is this feature for?
This version of Adobe Premiere Export allows you to:
- Curate clips from different source videos
- Combine them into one cohesive compilation
- Export the structure into Adobe Premiere without manually editing each clip again
Best for:
- Editors and marketers creating fast social packages and promos
- Highlight reels across matches, episodes, or events
- Use cases where you want to reuse multiple assets in one timeline
How do I prepare a multi-clip export?
- Create a Collection in Imaginario — add clips from different assets (e.g., football goals from different matches: 3 clips from England vs Sweden, Germany scoring, and England vs Germany).
- Go to the Collections tab.
- Click the three dots on your collection.
- Select “Adobe Premiere Export”.
What gets downloaded?
A ZIP file containing the XML project file. No media is included — this assumes you have access to the original video files locally.
How do I open the compilation in Adobe Premiere?
- Open Adobe Premiere Pro or Da Vinci Resolve.
- Go to File → Open Project.
- Select the XML file from the exported ZIP folder.
- Premiere will prompt you to relink the original source files: if all files are in one folder, it may auto-relink; otherwise, manually locate each video file on your local drive.
What does the result look like?
- All selected clips are loaded on the Premiere timeline, in sequence
- Cuts, durations, and clip order reflect your Imaginario collection
- You don’t need to recut or reassemble anything
- You can now edit, stylize, or export in Premiere as needed
- Uses your high-quality and original media without relying on proxy copies
Why use this instead of cutting directly in Premiere?
- Curate once in Imaginario, then reuse or iterate easily
- Save hours on search, rewatching content and repetitive timeline assembly
- Keep your editing workflows focused on refining, not rebuilding
