videoQC Inspect and videoQC Workstation include the ability to re-wrap, convert and export all or parts of files they are playing. This article explains how to set up profiles, set start and end points, and export to new files.
videoQC File Export
To export a file, or part of a file, from videoQC, you will first need to open it. Once it is opened in the player, select the "export media" menu.
This will bring up the 'Export Media' dialog
The entire clip can be exported, or a portion of the clip can be specified to create a subclip. The first and last frames will be displayed in the two thumbnails. These can be set by playing the clip, finding a suitable In and/or Out point, and clicking the 'set in' or 'set out' buttons. The area to be exported can be played with the preview button, and optionally, different audio or closed caption files can be substituted.
To select a closed caption file, click the CC Source label, and navigate to the CC file to select it.
To select an audio file, click the Alt Audio label, and navigate to the audio file to select it.
To start the actual conversion or re-wrap process, click on the process label. If you you have already made presets, you can select one and the conversion will begin in the background. If you have not created any profiles, you can create them with 'Edit Profiles'.

The edit profiles menu will bring up the Profile Editor dialog
From here you can make a new profile by clicking the Create button. You can also select an existing profile and edit it.
When you click 'OK', the new profile will be added and selected so you can add conversions to it. This will also be the profiles' name in the process menu. To add a conversion to a profile, click the '+' button. This opens the Export Options window.
This dialog allows you to set a target directory and the kind of conversion you want. Below is the profile dialog after adding an MXF XDCam and MP4 Proxy conversion to it. In this case, when you select this profile, it will create both an MP4 and an MXF from the original file. Any number of conversions can be set up in a single profile.
Once the profile editor is closed, the new profile(s) will show up in the process menu. Selecting it will cause the conversions to start.
