How do you split video clips?

I want to split video clips so that they can begin when I want them to and end when I want as well. I'm new to the software and I don't really know how to do some things.

There's a lot of good info in your manuals. Always a good place to start. I'd also reccomend Tom Wolsky's (he's a regular contributor here) books.
Having said that, basically, take your clip and put it in the Viewer. In the Viewer, shuttle around till you find the piece you want .. set an In point where the shot should begin, set an End point where you want it to end. Now grab that shot in the Viewer and drag it over to the right; some little submenus will pop up, choose Overwrite and that puts it into the Timeline. You can also use F10 to overwrite the short to the Timeline.

  • How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08?

    How do you split a clip to do an insert edit in iMovie 08? I have a single, long event that I'd like to do insert editing on. I'd also like to insert transitions. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    1) Move a clip (or any portion thereof) from your Event clip to your project and place it where you need it.
    2) With the newly added clip still selected in your project, grasp and move the right and left handles to set the exact frames you wish to use as your "in" and "out" points.
    3) Select the "Spit" option to segment the selected area into what you want to keep and what you don't need.
    4) Select the segment(s) you don't want and press the "Delete" key to remove it/them from the project window.
    5) Repeat as needed to create your sequence of segments and then add titles and transitions as needed.
    Note: Since your editing in iMovie '08 is non-linear, non-destructive, and "by-reference," you can source the same content multiple times to a single project or even to multiple projects and overlap your "splits" since they are "logical" rather than physical.

  • IMovie How do you join video clips that have been split

    In Imovie project, How do I join video clips that been split

    Hi
    And if the clips are not contiguous - Then You have to do as in all versions of iMovie from the very beginning.
    • Put the clips into one new project
    • Export this as full quality QuickTime movie
    • Import this new merged QT-clip into Your main project
    This is a way around that are very basic and used whenever more elaborated scenes are prepared - e.g. multiple text clips or when in need of adding several functions into it.
    Tedious - but it always been like this - in contrast to FinalCut.

  • How do you add video clips to an iPhoto slideshow?

    I've made a slideshow for my daughter's graduation. I tried to include a couple of video clips in it, but when the slideshow gets to the first one the screen goes black and the video doesn't play. How do I do this the correct way? I use iPhoto '11

    Do the video clips play in iPhoto at all? 
    What theme for the slideshow are you using? 
    Where are the video clips from?
    Are you using any transitions between slides particularly the video clip? 
    Have you tried putting the video clip in a slideshow by itself and see if it will play?

  • How can I capture video clips from you tube or my own DVD's

    How can I capture video clips from my own DVD's or You Tube type of media, I am trying to create a presentation using Key Note 

    As long as you are using the clips with copyright permission (the organisation I work for has this for some distributers) try Wondershare (I am sure other converters are available). You can install an extension for Safari (I use FastestTube 2.2.9.3) to download from YouTube. However, please be aware that you could be breaking copyright laws when so doing.

  • How do I get video clips into Organizer from Elements?

    I have broken my raw video into pieces in elements but can't get it to import into organizer.
    I am using Elements 11 Trial.

    The video is actually a football highlight film for our son and came to us as a single mp4 file with about 60 plays of video on it.
    What I am trying to do is
    1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project).
    2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips.
    3) Get the ability to rank/rate each video and select the 25 or so that will make up the final video.
    4) Polish/edit those that make the grade.
    5) Organize and assemble.
    Does this make sense?

I am using Elements 11 Trial.Place the "Work Area Bars" (located on the time line) so that only a "piece" is covered.  Then "Share" to a computer file. Pick a file type that suits your needs.  Be sure to check the box titled "Share WorkArea Bar Only".  Unfortunately, the clip piece will be re-encoded.  PrE11 will do that well, but not perfect because any encoding always seems to loose a little. You did not say what camera you are using.  The software that came with my Sony and Panasonic camcorders is much better for splitting clips into smaller clips.  Some sort of magic is in them where re-encoding does not take place.  The pieces have the same picture quality as the original.   So, when I do what you want, I break it into pieces with the camcorder software, the put the video together in PrE with all the creative tools it offers.  Bill

  • How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?

    How do i see video clips already imported in to an event?
    I have already created and shared one movie project from the clips and from photos but now want to make another. However, when i go to the library it only shows me the content of the first project, including the photos, not all of the video clips i originally imported. I can't believe that I need to import them all again.

    It seems to me that you must have imported your clips using iMovie 9, (that's why they are all in the Events folder which belongs to iMovie 9).  Then you must have upgraded your current project to iMovie 10 which will have put the clips used in that project (but not all the others) into your iMovie 10 library.  iMovie 10 has a totally different storage arrangement for media.  You should be able to update your other iMovie 9 projects by choosing File > Update Projects  and Events in iMovie 10.  See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.8/#/mov902ad0c31
    This does not stop you from continuing to use the projects in iMovie 9 though any further editing you do will not be transferred to the other version of iMovie.

    You can't do that in iPhoto. You'll need a video editor like iMovie for the job.

  • Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition?

    Can anyone tell me how to make a video clip in color transition like the opening of "Oh Brother where art though" ?
    You know the scene at the start where it starts off Black and White then as we move down the timeline it transitions to a rusty brown gradually.
    It's on the Apple site for FC Studio as a promo clip.

    how to do a keyframe trasition in the Color FX room
    I realize that you can "add" keyframes to the timeline in COLORFX, but I don't believe they are always observed, and then they usually disappear in retrieved projects, and aren't persistent if you leave the room. To remember where they are... you might mark in a keyframe on those frames in another room as a pathfinder. The behaviour is consistent with a creature of the six-legged variety.
    Method 1. If you are trying to taper the effect (any effect) in COLOR FX, the most linear approach is to render two versions of the clip; one "with", one "without" and do an opacity fade once you have returned them to Final Cut. This gives you the most control, flexibility, repeatability and consistency.
    Method 2. You may attempt to keyframe the bleach bypass settings within the node itself -- the preset that comes with COLOR doesn't have any controls, but the Nattress plugin does.
    Method 3. Set up a "blend" node with your bleach bypass feeding one of the inputs and leave the second input to default to the untreated video... keyframe a transition from "1.00000" to "0.00000" and that should work.
    Note: the keyframe timeline markers will disappear from the timeline if you exit the clip, but the effect is likely to persist. At least that was what was happening a couple of minutes ago... for me, the effect and blend performed the transition just like it was previewing when rendered. This strategy is subject to being created and rendered "on the spot right now", and I advise making sure you have your renderqueue settings ready to go... load the clip from the COLORFX room using the Mac command bar at the top of the screen and render it right away. Don't try to save it for later. Just Do It.
    An announcement went around about two weeks ago that Mr. Deakins' website was back up and running, so give him another try... poor guy has been swamped probably doing Dreamweaver maintenance... yeah, that must be it...

    how can i export video clips in iphoto into imovie?

    Hello andrewmarkp,
    As long as the videos are in a format that can be used by iMovie, they will appear in your Event Browser, under 'iPhoto Videos.'
    iMovie '11: Use video from your iPhoto library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196
    If you’ve imported video from your digital camera into iPhoto, it appears automatically in your iMovie Event Library (as long as the video is in a compatible format).
    To use iPhoto video in iMovie:
    Click iPhoto Videos in the Event Library.
    The videos appear in the Event browser on the right. You can select and use the video just as you would any other footage.
    To learn about importing video into iPhoto, open iPhoto and choose Help > iPhoto Help.

    Hi Life93,
    What you describe would be possible by recording your video, then removing the audio from it and adding audio from GarageBand once the video is in iMovie (I presume here that you are using iMovie for your video production. Other applications may need different methods.)

  • How do you make a clip move on a frame

    how do you make a clip move on a frame

    777
    It is not clear what you are asking about. Could explain another way?
    Please start with what version of Premiere Elements you are working and on what computer operating system it is running?
    From what you wrote, I am not sure if you are saying
    a. The Timeline Indicator is stuck and will not more from left to right when you try to play back the Timeline content in the Edit area
    or
    b. You want to create an animation
    or
    c. You are doing a Picture in Picture (PiP) and want the picture (or video insert) to move to different locations within the frames over the course of
    time.
    or
    d. Other
    We will be looking forward to your clarification with details so that we can give you the information that you seek.
    Thank you.
