Large Video Organization

I am trying to organize multiple large videos into a tutorial.  And by large i mean in excess of 6 hours long each.  They were shot continuously all day of a projector screen, computer monitor, or randomly picked up to go look at something else important and were always left on so that the people shooting it could be involved in the demo and not have to worry about loosing anything important going on off screen (which comes down to someone walking up to the camera and saying notes to it fairly frequently while being off screen).  Needless to say there is alot of dead space, which can be easily removed, but i mainly need to chop it up into a bunch of short clips and piece them together and reorganize them to form the tutorial.  Idealy i would be able to put 5 different flags throught the clips whenever certian subjects come up, the final movie will be broken down to 5 sections, and then cut them appart from there.  However i can't seem to find a time efective way to do this and i am knew at the software to boot.  There is the "Edit Original" option where one would think that you could add clip markers, but that just opens up windows media player and plays the clip.  There are also all of these nice tags, but i don't know how to add them to a specific time in the clip.  There is also this hand auto analyzer that splits the clip into a much a sceens that tags can be applied to seperately, but i can't find how to split clips into scenes manually to do this.
Could some one please point me in the right direction because out of all the bells and wistles in the software there has to be something out there to do this process, or a better way to go about it.
Thanks

First and foremost, you'll want to make sure this video is in a format you can work with in Premiere Elements. And that is vital -- because, when you're dealing with this much video, if you complicate things by having a non-standard video format, you're likely never going to get it to work.
So, if your video is in any format but DV-AVI, you might want to consider a different editing program. Premiere Elements runs deep but it runs narrow -- which means that it's very powerful but it works with a very narrow range of formats. So, if all you're doing is cutting out some footage and creating a series of DVDs, you definitely might want to look into a program that's much wider and maybe not so deep.
That may seem strange advice but, trust me, you're going to be doing many hours of work on this piece. And I'm sure you can't afford to deal with software chokes and incompatibility annoyances.
So what kind of camcorder did this video come from and what format is it in?

  • How can I send a large video file from my iPhone 4?

    How can I send (by text) a (fairly) large video file from my iPhone 4 without it getting compressed first?
    If that's not possible is there a way to uncompress the video file one it is received onto the receiving iPhone?
    Or is there a way to sync or transfer a video file from iPhone to iPhone?

    ExFAT would be the best file system format, as it will handle files greater than 4GB.
    If exFAT is not available, go for FAT32.
    Just FAT is too limiting, so avoid that

  • HT201302 I have a large video on my ipad that I would like to transfer to a computer.  But my computer (using various software that came with Windows 7) does not see this video, although it sees all the other videos on my ipad.  This video is too big to t

    I have a large video on my ipad that I need to transfer to my PC (a window 7).  I could also use a windows 8 if that would help.  But all of the applications I have tried do not see this large video (52 mins) even though they transfer smaller videos fine.  The ipad will not let me trim the video, saying it is too large.  This is true even though I only want to trim the original, and not create a new video.  (Actually it refuses before it gets to the choice of creating something new or just eliminating something from the original).  I have been to an Apple store, but the people there only could recommend that I try some alternate applications to do the transfer (Kodak EasyShare).  I don't have much faith this will work.  I think I have this application on an old PC, and it is not something I want on my new computers.
    Is it possibled the size of this video just violates the transfer formats for files over USB?  If so, I will just delete the video and move on.  But the video is really something I wanted to save.  I would be happy to eliminate most of the video, but the ipad will not let me trim it.
    I also tried to import the video with Windows Moviemaker (free with W7).  It also does not see this file, but works fine on the other videos on the ipad.

  • How can i transfer large video from my iphone

    I have a large video on my iphone 4s that will not transfer by E-mail, Facebook, Utube, text or USB. When I plug in the USB to my computer it will upload everything except my video it remains on my phone. I really need this video for a student is there a way to get it from my phone to a computer?

    Is your computer a Windows PC running XP?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    Windows XP cannot import video files larger than 500 MB using Camera and Scanner Wizard. You can transfer these files directly from your device by selecting them in My Computer and dragging or copying the movie files to your computer's hard drive.

  • Getting Albums & Large Videos off the iPhone

    I tried to get help from this community to solve my problem only to end up handling it myself.
    I am not without knowledge however, granted the one thing I cannot post here is the iTunes
    system file code that prevents having to erase & sync the iPhone. Which I should add if you
    do this (erase & sync) it would appear to only delete your music, but thats "as far as I know".
    So to the gifts I bring to this place.. iPhone Explorer & why your transfers fail epicly.
    Google the "iPhone Explorer" because you will need it, go ahead say you've used it an failed.
    However before you dismiss my advice did you remember to....... UNDO YOUR IPHONE ENCRYPTION?!
    Yes.. it would seem that using this application is DEPENDANT on wither you have encrypted your
    iPhone thru iTunes. This is the only way to browse the pictures directory an copy ALL the folders
    out onto your PC. I repeat, phone to pc, pics from your phone onto your PC.
    What about the large videos you might ask.. WELL.. this applies to windows users ONLY.
    go into the directory below, make sure to change your name where I've written "your name here"
    otherwise you'll just be told the directory doesn't exist.
    C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    I will say it again, "your name here" refers to your windows user name!
    Now once in this directory you'll see a folder or maybe more than 1, this depends on how many people
    use your iTunes an back up their iPhones onto your pc.
    Oh but wait, your going to say I never mentioned you had to backup your iPhone thru iTunes
    in order for this to work, an just maybe your on someone elses pc an you've never backed up
    your stuff here before an your worried it'll tell you some crap about "erasing & syncing".
    Well relax.. armageddon isn't upon you yet. Still use the backup function an go to the directory
    as mentioned, why? because! when you view the files by list & detail you'll be able to sort the entire
    folder by file "SIZE" this should help narrow down (quite fast) which of these scribble scrabble named
    files might be your "impossibru" to xfer video file(s).
    If you've got issues getting smaller 5min or less video files off your iPhone this will still work but your
    going to have to try to guess harder which file it might be.
    Once you've located the possible file, copy it over somewhere else you won't lose it, for the sake of
    all things.. DON'T mess with the original in the backup folder!! just COPY it outside.
    Once you've got the file(s) outside, if you haven't turned on/off "file name extensions" so that the
    .exe/.txt/.jpg an such show on all files, you'll notice the files I had you copy have no extensions!
    Just rename the file to whatever you want it to be like test.mov an it should open just fine provided
    you've got ALL the proper codecs for viewing video files (yes this matters an even if you think your
    pc is just friggin awesome you could still be missing the right one or an updated version of the codec
    you need most for this). Also you'll want a decent video viewing program to go along with the proper
    codecs. For your aid I've supplied the url's of such things for you below.
    Codecs: http://www.codecguide.com/download_mega.htm (Get the "mega" version, don't argue with me).
    Video Viewing: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (I don't care who your pc tech is an what they said either, just use it).
    You will have to reboot once you install these 2 things, it would also be advised your copy of windows
    is legit an fully updated. You also might want to look into "CCleaner" if your brave enough to handle
    cleaning your own pc's temp files just to be on the safe side, it's registry cleaner is verified by me
    to do a decent job but hey, use it at your own risk as the cleaner isn't a required step to make this
    all work.
    Anyhow with this you've got your large video files & your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc albums off the iPhone finally by now.
    Enjoy renaming the pics as you'll spend alot of time folder diving but hey it's worth not losing it all right??
    PS: It helps to move all the pics out of all the new folders into one folder, hence the above statement.
    PEACE! an to all you "hipsters" who said it couldn't be done, you KNOW what I wanna say >.>

    The method you suggest is how I have been doing it, everything copies over easily except the two large files.
    I wonder if there is a fix for that coming? I want the files, but it looks as if I can't delete them either, I can't move them in anyway, or open them in anything but the photo app.

  • My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?, My ipad locked up when trying to send a large video file. I tried to turn it off and it's stuck. What so I do?

    My ipad 2 has locked up when trying to send a large video file. What do I do? Is there a reset button.
    Thank you

    Assuming that it's not still trying to send the video, then you could do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Uploading Large videos Files to SharePoint 2010

    Uploading Large video  Files to SharePoint 2010  for employee training portal
    Saidireddy

    Hello ,
    The default maximum file size for SharePoint Lib is 50 MB. You can change the maximum file upload size in SharePoint 2010 .However;
    a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance.
    Ref to change maximum file upload size 
    http://aryannava.com/2011/05/30/how-to-change-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2010/
    I would suggest you that instead of uploading large files to SharePoint, you can Upload those files to File server or
    media steaming server and Share those links to SharePoint server.
    You can embed those links to SharePoint Silver Media player in .mp4 or .wmv formats.

  • Software available for working with large video files?

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
    set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
    key to render the clip.
    It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
    a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
    that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
    from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
    I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
    Thanks.

  • How to use and publish large video files in presenter 7 ?

    I am creating video intensive e-learning contents in presenter 7 (updated to 7.05).
    I generally, use 2 or 3 flv files (up to 50 MB size) in my presentation.
    After I publish my presentation in a web site, users must wait too long for watching any single video.
    Is there any method to use large video files (flv or any format) in presenter 7 and users can watch videos without any delay?
    Best regards.

    The problem you're facing is that Adobe Presenter output video playback is primarily Progressive Download rather than Streaming.
    Options, for you, include:
    1) Figure out a streaming video solution
    2) Use Adobe Media Encoder to compress/squash your video into more manageable sizes before importing the video into Presenter. I have found a decent compromise is the Web Medium preset as its datarate of 600kbps is just about the most a DSL connection can handle.
    3) Split your videos (instead of 2-3 50MB files, you'd have 4-6 25MB files).

  • Unable to download large videos taken with my 4S phone. 1-3G

    I have taken several videos of my boys sports, but find myself unable to download the videos to my computer or portable hard drive.  Videos were taken with my IPhone and are 3-7 minutes long.  Up to 3gig of memory on just one video.
    Trying to download to a Windows HP computer.   When plugging in the phone to sync...it will go for 30 min and then state.  (ITunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer)  I have tried multiple times, rebooted, made sure everything is up to date.
    When opening the files up like a camera where you can drag or tried copy and paste the files will attempt to save.  Sometimes the files looks saved but there is ZERO Mb saved, just the file name.   Other time I was able to get a file save, but it will not play, just a very fragmented video that looks like pictures taken every 30 seconds.
    Please help

    Sometimes syncing will have problems with very large video files like this.  I'm not sure you will be able to overcome this, but if the videos are important enough you may consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer them.

  • Creating large video portfolio site? Project's getting slow and buggy? Here's a solution:

    If, like me, you're creating a large video portfolio site (over 50 vids) in Edge, you may find after a while elements on the stage start to vanish (they're still there but invisible) and the program REALLY slows down. And lots of crashes. I've asked the experts and the response generally seems to be "Site's way too big!" HOWEVER, I have a good workaround:
    After importing a Mpeg4 and Webm file into the video library, put it into your design, animate it, add functions, preview it, etc - then DELETE it from the media folder! The elements remain with all the attributes and code attached on the timeline, stage and elements window - but it's just a placeholder. Once you've done this, you can move on adding more and more videos, repeating this process. The project file never gets too big or slow! Then right at the end, put all the Mpeg4 and webm files back in the media folder. You might not be able to launch the project and preview (it'll be too big) but you can still drop it on your browser to check. And, if all's good, upload. If there are things that still need fixing, take the video files back out the Media folder so that when you launch the project file again to make amendments, it'll run smoothly. After fixing, put the videos back.
    Hopefully in the next full version, Edge is made more robust and able to tackle.

  • Dropping larger video frame sizes into timeline at 100%

    In FCP6.0, I'd like to drop a 448x252 video onto a Sequence set at 320x240, but I want the larger original video to remain at 100% scale. By default FCP will reduce the size of the larger video to fit (~70%). I can easily set it back by setting the Scale back to 100% in the Motion Tab. But that forces yet another render.
    Is there a way to tell FCP to drop in a larger video without reducing the scale to fit? I've already unchecked "Always scale clips to sequence size", and set Auto Conform Sequence to NEVER, but it seems to make no difference. Am I missing something obvious?

    I'm fairly certain that those new-to-FCP 6 settings that you speak of are only for clips smaller than the sequence frame size.
    Larger clips will always be scaled to fit into a sequence.
