Sub-Clipping

Transcode sub-clips using FLICS.

Overview

This guide explains how to use the sub-clipping integration between FLICS and iconik.

The process involves several critical steps that need to be followed in a specific order to successfully transcode sub-clips in iconik.

User Experience

iconik Login

Log in to your iconik account at app.iconik.io.

Start a sub-clip transcode job

Navigate to your asset. Select 'Subclips' down the left hand side, mark an in and out point, name your sub-clip and hit 'Save':

create subclip

This will automatically trigger a transcode of this sub-clip in FLICS.

Job completion

Once the job is complete, clicking on 'Relations' on the original asset will show that a sub-clip child has been created:

Clicking on the sub-clip child will show you the sub-clip asset along with the transcoded files:

A collection will be created next to the original asset, with the suffix '_Subclips'. This will contain all the sub-clips that have been created for that asset:
