Combining/Merging Clips into one long clip in the project bin?

I'm shooting on Panasonic P2 cards
Since P2-material comes in as an individual clip per recording, it's quite different from working the way we're used to with one long clip using cassettes. My wish is to merge these clips to one, but I'm having some challenges. This is what I've tried:
1. In Project window, I try to mark several clips and drop them to the source window, but only one of them appears at ones (the rest is in the dropdown-box above the window).
2. In Project window, I mark several clips, go to Clip, but the option Merge Clips are greyed out (why? is there a format limitation for this function?)
3. In Project window, I mark several clips, add them to a new seqence and use the sequence as a source for my main sequence. BUT, the limitation is the audio. My output should be a stereo sequence. Adding the source-clips to a stereo-source-seqence, makes of course the audio coming from the source-sequence a stereo track. My wish is to preserve four mono-tracks. I've tried making a source-seqence with a 16 track mono master, but this one won't add to the main seqence (which has a stereo master).
Does anyone have a solution?

Assuming we're talking about shorter takes and not a longer, spanned clip, I don't think what you want can be done in PP.  Nesting will always bring the audio over as one track.
You may have to skim the clip sequence in the Program Monitor and copy/paste the portions you want to use into a second sequence for output.  This will preserve the audio.

  • How do you combine two or more movie clips into one movie clip in iMovie '09

    how do you combine two or more movie clips into one movie clip in iMovie '09

    First create an iMovie project. Then drag the clips (or portions of clips) that you need into the project.
    When finished, use the SHARE menu to share the project.

  • Importing tape into Imovie 11. How do I import all the clips as one long clip?

    How do I import all the clips as one long clip? I have 45 min of footage and I want it as one long take I can edit in Final Cut ProX. When I import, all the clips are split up when the scene cuts. I just want the 45 min in one long video.

    iMovie will import the tape as if it is direct from the camera. It will sense the scene breaks and put all the clips in chronological order.
    If you want to import it as one long clip, I suggest you load the tape into the app that you edited the tape with. Then export it out as a QuickTime movie in the DV codec. You can import this MOV file into FCPX or iMovie.

  • How to combine video clips into one video clip using FCPX

    I typed this into the search engine but could not come up with anything. How do you combine Video clips into one Video clip using FCPX? Thanks in advance.

    The simple answer is to put the clips together in a project in the desired order and export (oops, the new word is share [YUK!]) a master file.
    But maybe you should say a little more about the clips to determine whether the answer I've given is relevant to yor situation.

  • How do I put short Iphone movie clips into one long movie?

    What's the best method to take short little movie clips from my Iphone and splice them together into one long movie without using video quality? 
    I have Imovie so if I use it, will I lose video quality?  I've been told that Imovie 08' only imports every other line of resolution when I capture Digital Video.  Does it do the same for Iphone videos?
    I tried to use Final Cut Express already but when I exported the video and then viewed it in Itunes it looked quite a bit worse than the originals.
    Thanks for any help.
    Ehren

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

  • Group Two Adjacent Clips Into One Single Clip?

    It seems like there ought to be an easy way to do this, but I can't seem to find it.
    I'd like to take two (AV) clips that are adjacent on the time line, and group/merge/copy (not sure what term to use) them together into one single clip. That so that I can then apply a single continuous movement, rotation, opacity changes, and so forth to the resulting single clip.
    If any of you are familiar with The audio-editing program called Digital Performer, what I'm looking for would be the AV analogy with Performer's "Merge Soundbites" operation.
    Anybody know how to do that?
    Thanks folks!

    Yes, nesting is the answer. select the clips you want to nest go to Sequence / Nest items / give it a name and there you'll got your nested sequence as a separate file in the browser.
    What a coincidence! I just nested a series of stills in order to be able to animate their size over time.

  • Combining multiple tabs into one long web page

    Lets say you have 12 tabs open. Can the html from each tab be combined into one flowing page kind of like Autopager does for repeating pages? Linky can grab the links of one tab at a time, but you have to repeat the process for the other 11 tabs. It would be cool to force all 12 tabs into one flowing/continuous tab, then Linky could read basically all 12 tabs at a time since they are really all in one new tab.

    welcome phiphika to the  board…
    in terms of convenience, I would indeed export/share all 6 movies.
    to tape, or as Quicktime/FullQuality…
    both methods create a lossless copy of your final movie(s).
    in step II, import all 6 project into a new iM project, as said above, you don't loose ay quality with that back'n forth copying... only some time ;-)… you can set then chapter markers etc....
    besides, your workflow is as mine on larger projects: not 678 clips into one monstrous project of some dozends Gigabytes, just segments…

  • How do I merge all clips in EVENTS into one long clip so it works with IDVD

    Without importing into projects and then exporting to idvd is there a simple way to do this?

    wot?
    the iLife intended workflow is..:
    you can not share/import/.. Events..
    Events are just for storage and usage in Projects.
    • you have to create a Project out of clips from your Events
    • then, share to Mediabrowser..
    • do as many Projects as you like..
    • then, launch iDVD
    • look under Media/Movies.. you see a list of your Projects..
    • you can add as many Projects to a DVD as you like - as long as you stay under 120min..
    have you been there?

  • How do I merge PDFs into one.  I have the PDF pack. iOS

      I bought the PDF pack so I could merge PDFs from my email together with an excel page. I seem to missing something to be able to get a complete PDF without having to print and scan. Any ideas?

    Hi AFO77515,
    When you use Combine Files to PDF, Adobe PDF Pack stores just the combined PDF file, not the files from which it was created.
    Click Combine Files To PDF.
    Click Select Files.
    Select one of the files that you want to combine.
    Click Open.
    Click Add Files and select additional files to combine. Click Open.
    (Optional) Click the arrows next to the files you’ve selected to change the order in which they are added to the combined PDF.
    Enter a name for the combined file, and then click Combine.
    Note: You cannot combine PDF files that are secure, password protected, 3D, or part of a PDF Portfolio.
    If you are unable to follow the above mentioned steps then please let me know the error you get.
    Regards,

    Gill,
    The three sections are one document. There are usually good reasons for Section Breaks, so you'll want to be sure that you really need to delete them. To get rid of the Section Breaks, just place your cursor at the top of the page following the break and press Delete until the Section Break goes away. It should take only one click for each case.

    A series of video files (0001.MTS to 0005.MTS) were imported into premiere, when moved to timeline premiere combined them and made them look like one long clip named 0001.MTS. Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
    I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

  • How to combine movie clips into one?

    In one Aperture project I have 5 short (under 1 min) movie clips that I would like to combine into one "movie", and would like to know the quickest and easiest way to do this.  I am not interested in any editing other than combining the clips into one.  Thanks!

    In Aperture the only way to combine movie clips is to create a basic slideshow, but you will get better results (stabilization, effects, etc) in iMovie or Quicktime 7, if you have it.
    In Aperture:
    Create a slideshow with the "Classic" theme: Select the two video clips in the Browser and use:   File >New > Slideshow
    Set the Default Slideshow settings (Transitions, Text, background) as you like them.
    Arrange the clips in the Time Line in the order as you want them.
    Press the "Export" button in the upper right corner to export a new video. Reimport it to Aperture.
