Break up a movie into shorter segments

Hi
I'm trying to upload a 4 min 18 sec movie to a site for a college portfolio
the file is about 120MB and the site only allows you to upload 20MB at a time, just need to know how to break up my completed movie into smaller segments without messing up the transitions or anything
so I can upload?
Thanks, any help is appreciated...

One way is to do the following. Select your Project Name in the Project Source List.
Right-click (or control-click) on the Project Name. Select Duplicate. You should now have an exact replica of your project. Repeat this as many times as necessary.
Now, Take the first 40 seconds of your movie (or so) and delete the rest. Go to the 2nd Duplicate. Keep the 2nd 40 seconds and delete the rest. Go to 3rd Duplicate. Keep the 3rd 40 seconds and delete the rest. Continue until you are finished. Now Share the movies.

  • How to split a movie into smaller segments before importing to iMovie 09?

    I got software from Roxio allowing me to get VHS tapes to the computer in the form of .mov. It was supposed to convert it for use with iMovie but it didn't work. So I'm using MPEG Streamclip converting it to DV. But it takes too many GB's. I need to break the alaska.mov to several smaller parts. I know this is simple but can anyone help? Thanks.

    thanks for your helpful suggestions. I opened the old VHS movie converted by Roxio VHS to DVD. It opened in Quicktime. I then trimmed it into more or less 4 equal parts, using the trim function in Quicktime. I then converted each part to DV using MPEG streaclip saving it to an external drive. I then used iMovie 09 to import it and create thumbnails. Now I'm ready to edit. I could have avoided all those steps by dragging it directly into Final Cut Express which I have, but this program is too complicated for me to learn.

  • Cutting QT movie into smaller segments

    I'm new at this so if this is a typical newbie question I ask your tolerence. I've looked through the archives about sub-segments but haven't found what I need. I'm trying to cut a QT movie file into smaller segments so I can rearrange the order of things. I'm unsure how this "make subsegment feature works. Do I have to make new In and Out points one at a time, then make each one a subsegment or do I make the primary sequence a subsegment then work on the subsegmented piece, placing new In and Out points in it?

    That's what editing is all about...
    Do you mean you're trying to edit? in FCP? or you want to cut up your QT files outside of FCP?
    I think you might have to do a bit of reading about basic 3-point editing techniques.

  • Split an AVI movie into several segments in PE 4

    I am new to using PE and have an old version which I never used.   I have tried to do this with Roxio Creator 2009, Nero 9, and Studio 9 with no luck.
    I captured a video from a Canon ZR 45.  I contains 2 actual sessions which I would like to make into 2 separate videos.   I can find no way to actually just split at the point I want and save the avi file into 2 separate files.   I also want to take one of the sessions and split it up into multiple sessions to load on facebook.   I have read some suggestions using PE 7, but I am not sure they work on PE 4 that I am using.
    Here is basically what I want to do.
    Split the origiona 12 GB avi capture file into 2 files.
    Take the first session (23 minutes) and split that into smaller sessions (files) so I can do something different with each.
    Any suggestions or recommendation for other software that can do this?
    I do not want to get PE 8 unless I can get this to work...

    Let's assume that you have done the Capture from your Canon and have the AVI's in both your Project Panel, and have placed those onto your Timeline. When you have edited out everything that you do not want, and have your Timeline exactly, as you wish, you need to Export/Share.
    To do this segmentally, you need to use the WAB (Work Area Bar), placing it's In Point, where you wish your Exported movie to start, and its Out Point where you wish the movie to end. When you go to Export/Share, you will limit that Export to WAB only. Here's a look at the WAB:
    For your multi-segment movie, you'll do the same, but the Duration of the WAB will just be smaller for each Export/Share.
    Now, I do not know what the requirements of Facebook are, and there might be formats that would be required, that do not allow you to Export with the WAB. If this is the case, just Export/Share to DV-AVI as, say 4 individual files (w/ the WAB), and then Do 4 new Projects, using Get Media for each of your 4 AVI files, one at a time. Then you can Export/Share your entire Timeline to that necessary format, one at a time.
    Good luck, and if any of this is not clear, just let us know,

  • Breaking a quicktime movie into several smaller clips?

    Hi,
    I want to edit my wedding movie but Imovie 3 says it is too large. I have it saved as a QT.div (approx 55 minutes) file but how can I edit it into several smaller clips to import to imovie?

    Apple of course wants you to purchase QuickTime Pro to activate the editing features in QuickTime Player.
    But to do it for free, try MPEG Streamclip. http://www.squared5.com/ .div isn't listed among the formats, but the list has an ellipsis at the end, so you never know.
    The list they give on their site is "MPEG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, TS, M2T, MMV, REC, VID, AVR, M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3, ... "

  • Workflow for breaking a concert movie into individual songs

    I have put together a multi-cam, multi-soundtrack sequence in fcp7. Now I need to break it apart and upload individual songs to YouTube. Cutting and pasting should be a natural, but I find the B-Cam footage is distorted, probably because I used wireframe to crop it in the editing process.
    There has to be an efficient way to do this. Can anybody help?
    Much thanks,
    /john

    Well, I'm not REALLY embarrassed, I just look like it. Thanks for a little FCP 101. Appreciate it.

  • Cant seem to break up a 1hr movie into 10min segs.

    i want to upload a 1hr movie to youtube. i cant seem to break up the movie into smaller segments for upload. ive tried chapters markers, cut and paste, chop(whatever). during this ordeal i have used up tons of disk space on files i cant find (but forget about that just help me break up this movie.
    thanks
    tencups

    welcome tencupsdavid to the  iMovie boards..
    obviously, you totally miss the basic functions of this edit app, e.g. chapter markers have for sure absolutely no effect on the length of a projectc nor on an export..
    please use the Help feature of iMovie how to import, drag clips into timeline, how to edit those clips and how to export just selected clips o a project's timeline...
    aside: this board is about version 5 of iMovie (HD= vers.5, iMovie6= vers. 6, iM08= version 7)... if you need addtional help, check which version is in use.. (=different versions/diff. help, advices...)

  • Splitting QuickTime into shorter clips

    I recently converted 1000's of feet of old family (film) movies to MPEG, and wish to ultimately bring into iMovie. How can I use Quicktime to break MPEG clips into shorter segments?
    I am using 'Quicktime 7.1.0 Pro'. I see 'trim to selection' but it's not highlighted. Could someone explain how to use this so I can create shorter movie clips from a larger MPEG movie file. (much THANKS!)

    I recently converted 1000's of feet of old family (film) movies to MPEG, and wish to ultimately bring into iMovie. How can I use Quicktime to break MPEG clips into shorter segments?For best quality, I would normally recommend capturing your media directly in the DV format which is already compatible with iMovie. However, assuming you are not willing or unable to go back and start over, use MPEG Streamclip (free) and the QT MPEG-2 component (which I assume you already have installed) to either "trim" and convert the source to iMovie compatible files (or convert entire master files to DV and "trim" as you edit in iMovie).
    I am using 'Quicktime 7.1.0 Pro'. I see 'trim to selection' but it's not highlighted. Could someone explain how to use this so I can create shorter movie clips from a larger MPEG movie file.QT Pro (even with the QT MPEG-2 component installed) is only "playback" compatible with "muxed" MPEG file formats. Thus, the edit options are not accessable for either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files. In addition, even if they were, your exported files for use in iMovie would not have any audio. Use an MPEG based third-party application for "trimming" and/or conversion to iMovie compatible compression formats which retain audio.

  • How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done?

    How can I import a movie into iMovie 09 from a hard drive?  The movie will open and play in idvd but breaks into separate files that can't be downloaded when I try to import.  Can it be done? I am trying to create a disc of player highlights for a collegiate coach, and I am using movie files downloaded to my hard drive from a DVD created on a PC. 

    No unfortunately it won't open in quicktime either.  It does the same thing that Imovie does, separates it into two file folders audio and video, and if i select video it opens to reveal 8 files that cannot be selected.  VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB,VTS_01_0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VB, VTS_01_3.VOB.  All of which cannot be opened or selected.
    Opening it in Idvd and folllowing your suggestion works and I get a format code of NTSC.  Is that the same?  Thank you for your time and response.

  • I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    I have a short homemade film burnt onto a DVD, I now want to import the movie into IMOVIE on my MacBook Pro so that I can edit it, how would I go about doing this? Welcoming any guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    1. Insert your DVD.
    2. Open Disk Utilities (Application> Utilities> Disk Utilities). Highlight your DVD and press "New Image" on the upper toolbar.
    3. Choose the location you would like to save your DVD from the drop down menu, "Desktop" is usually the best choice. Then click Save.
    4. When finished, your DVD icon will appear on the desktop with the .dmg extension.
    5. With iMovie open, double-click the .dmg  file you created to mount it. The iMovie import window will then appear asking you to choose. Click Import All and wait for the Import to complete.

  • How to combine 3 completed short movies into one disc?

    I made 3 projects, created disc images, and burned them successufully, one at a time. Since they are only about 15 minutes each, I would like to now combine them into one DVD. I want to keep the originals as is, meaning the same different DVD theme each one has. Is there a way to do that? I tried to use Toast, but it can't import some files and tells me there is a mac error. Can I create a new DVD theme, sort of introducing the 3 projects, them import the 3 completed projects into it, so that it will play the different iDVD thems for each? Any help would be appreciated.

    hey there MaxFS,
    you can put all 3 movies into 1 DVD project, but you can't have 3 themes in one project--no version of iDVD works that way. neither does any version of Toast. 1 Project=1 Theme. if you have submenus you can make the submenu page be different from the main menu page.
    good luck.

  • Splitting a large video file into smaller segments/clips using FCE

    Is there a way to split a large FCE / iMovie Captured event into smaller segments/clips.
    Am attempting to convert my home videos ( Analog: 8mm) into iMovie clips.
    Used a ADS Pyro that converts my composite signal ( RCA: Yellow+Red/White) to a digital signal via Firewire using the iMovie capture. However, this creates a single 2 hour file that takes approx 26Gb because there is now DV information.
    I would like to (a) Break this into smaller segments/clips then (b) Change the date on these.

    What I want to do is to break up my 2 hours video into smaller chunks then burn the good chunks as raw footage ( AVI/MOV) onto backup data DVDs. Then export all the chunks into compresssed files (MPEG-4?) and save these on another data DVD.
    Avoid to compress. Save as quicktime movie.

    Download MPEG Streamclip, which is free, from Squared 5.
    Drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
    To split your video, move the playhead to your desired in point and type i. Then move the playhead to your desired out point and type o. Then File/Export to DV.
