I do like that image sequence idea. I'll keep that in mind for another project.

<p>I want to write a script that automates rendering in a way that each, say, 30 seconds of a longer video becomes a separate video file. How do I approach this without having to manually highlight and render each time increment?</p>

Does it have to be with Premiere? This kind of job suits a command line application like ffmpeg.

It can be done with FFMPEG?
