# How to export blocks and clips with SmartExport

## Workflow

![30–45 second recording showing Blocks and Clips modes, job exclusion, preset selection and Send to Media Encoder.](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/b/c/3/1/bc31d2c8bd4ea000/m72-m72-user-capture_q26w4a.gif)

1. Open and save a Premiere Pro project containing the sequence to export.
2. Launch SmartExport from blinkl.io.
3. Choose **Blocks** or **Clips**.
* Use **Clips** for one file per video clip.
* Use **Blocks** to group contiguous video clips until a timeline gap.
4. Review the jobs detected on the timeline and disable exports you do not need.
5. Choose a Premiere Pro export preset.
6. Review or change the destination folder.
7. Select **Export** for direct export or **Send to Media Encoder** to queue the jobs in Adobe Media Encoder.

SmartExport displays the number of files ready before starting. If the action is disabled, select a preset and confirm that at least one job remains enabled.

The Premiere Pro project must be saved when the destination relies on the project folder. Adobe Media Encoder must be installed to use its queue.
