Apart from exporting part of a clip in a project (see the section called “Media clip using script”), you can also export multiple clips from the same (or multiple) projects. The clips will be clipped based on the annotation-times on a specified tier.
As with the exporting of a part of a clip, Windows users will need to put a copy of ffmpeg.exe or ffmbc.exe in the program folder of ELAN. ( see the section called “Media clip using script”) for more info.
To utilize this function, you will need to create a tab-delimited text file first. Go to > > . (note, this will not work for the single file tab-delimited export, as there is no option to include the videofile-path). Choose a domain, or create a new one (if you want to create multiple clips from only one .eaf, create that .eaf as a new domain). Select the tiers you want to include in the Tab-delimited text file (each annotation on a tier will result in a clip).
Make sure you check the following options:
Exclude tier names from output
Exclude participant names from output
Include file path column
Under the time column and format options, you will need to check:
Begin Time
End Time
Duration
ss. msec
The other options have to remain unchecked. Next, click and the file will be exported to a text file.
Go to > > . Choose the exported tab delimited text file you just created, and specify a folder to save the clipped videos to. Click to start the process. When done, a process report dialog will appear with information about the clipping process.
