Creating individual clips of a scene for post work

I need to take an edit which has been done by someone else using several video tracks in FCP, and "collapse" it into discreet individual shot clips that I want to be able to "save out" as individual movie files for some outside of FCP post work.
I was hoping to use the Media Manager, but I am not able to get discreet clips out of it even when I have manually "collapsed" the edit to a single video track.
Is there something I am missing about how to use clips and sub-clips? Do I need to pre-plan each clip I am going to use to be able to get the Media Manager to output discreet movie files?
Or am I approaching the problem the wrong way?
Cheers, Markus

So after talking to the editor I am back looking for a more sustainable solution for creating discreet clips for shots as well as maintain a timeline based on those clips.
The batch export basically means that you need to manually re-create the edit by pulling back the clips into the edit timeline and line them up with the original edit they were created from. That's a bit of a pain.

How can I create individual clips after doing DV start/stop locate?

I know how to take a clip and have FCE mark the DV start/stop points, but is there a way to have FCE then automatically make individual clips based on the DV in/out points?

Yes, that's actually what is 'behind the scene' in each subclip. This is actually a very powerful thing, as you will discover as you gain experience editing.
Yes, they act as if they are completely independent of each other, you can apply further edits, filters, effects etc. to each subclip individually.
Switching from iMovie to FCE takes some adjustment, that's for sure. But FCE is much much more capable than iMovie.
I encourage you to get a copy of Tom Wolsky's excellent book - Final Cut Express 2 Editing Workshop. It's the best thing available to get you started with FCE ... and it includes a DVD where he shows you the differences between using iMovie and FCE. Tom has also recently produced an FCE training DVD, too, Final Cut Express HD Made Easy, and he is an active participant in this forum.

I need to create an interactive timeline in muse for uni work, I can't find any tutorials and I am really stuck.

So I have pictures and text and want to create a timeline which you can scroll with and when you hover over the images they expand. Can anyone help?

You can try anchor position with scroll , alternative option :

Shifting individual clips together in a track

When I edit an audio track, it creates individual clips. How does one move all these clips *together* (back or forward). As it is, I'm having to shift each on individually after each cut.

To select a group of clips/audio regions you can draw a selection rectangle around them:
click onto an empty space i the timeline directly below the first clip and then drag the mouse over all regions you want to select. You may need to create an empty track below the one you are working with to create space below the clips if tthe track is not the last one.

Workflow for marking clips and then exporting them out as individual clips with audio?

Hello,
I'm just starting to use Prelude. I recorded an interview for my daughter for a school project last week. The interview went well, but I want to mark as "sub-clips" all of the video interview's question/answer combos (e.g. "What is your name? My name is John Doe.") and then save them out to individual clips rather than have to manage the full size files (about 40GB in all from my Panasonic GH3, 50mbps, IPB MOV) with clip markers. I'll keep the originals as backups, but would really rather work with the individual clip files.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I would think this would be a very simple and common function. Basically, just dividing up the original video into multiple, standalone video clips with the same bit-rate, encoding, etc., but with new headers/EOF markers. Just chopping the original files up into chunks with no changes or reencoding necessary. If I can do it the way I imagine it, it should be a very quick process, at least compared to transcoding the files.
Best regards,
Scott

Hi -
Meg The Dog's suggestion will work if you don't intend to bring in all of your media off the card. The Partial Ingest method will allow you to selectively create subclips during ingest and not transfer the full original clips.
However, you do state you plan to keep all your media - not just the parts you want to subclip. So here's my suggestion for the workflow:
1. Ingest all your media from your cameras (the entire clips - not the partial clip method)
2. Open each clip from the Prelude Project Panel and create your Subclip Markers using Prelude logging tools.
3. In the Project Panel you will find new entries will appear for each SUBCLIP Marker you add to your master clips.
4. You can organize you subclips into BINS as needed to keep track of the segments of your video
5. When you're ready to create your timeline of subclips you can either
   5a. EXPORT all the SUBCLIPS into their own files (select all subclips you want to export and use the FILE->EXPORT->MEDIA menu command)
   or
   5b. Drag-Drop your subclips into a ROUGHCUT in Prelude to order your story. Then use the SEND TO PREMIERE PRO feature to send the Rough Cut into Premiere pro where you can finish your edit. All the media will come along for the ride into Premiere Pro (including your Subclips). You can then add titles and any effects easily enough in Premiere Pro).
There are some other options here you can also try out which might be interesting. For example, you can add transitions and any additional audio tracks to your ROUGH CUT directly in Prelude and then EXPORT the Rough Cut as a final movie - and not need to move to Premiere Pro unless you have wider editing needs.
Hope this helps!

Michael

Trying to create small clips for iDVD animations

I've got a home movie that my wife's sister's family wants me to make into a DVD (they have a Windows computer and ...).
In iDVD you have the animated clips on the left side and also on scene screens if you have put in chapters in the video, which I have.
They want a special part of the home movie to show up on the different screens for the main menu and scene menus.
So I took the iMovie HD '06 file and copied it, then used that copy to cut out the sections that they want for those. Everything else I deleted in iMovie and then told it to delete the trash *in iMovie HD '06*. When I save the iMovie project it is exactly the same size as the one with the whole home video.
What am I doing wrong?

hey there OlsonBW,
in your iMovie project create your clips & export 1 or more as a QT full quality movie, using "Share Selected Clips Only". i save them to my desktop-easier for me to find that way, then just drag these into the menu drop zone & trash 'em when i'm done. it will look like the clip is gone while it's creating the QT movie but it's not.
good luck.

Editing and saving individual clips for import into iDVD

I've begun a large project digitizing many old family 8mm projector films. Each reel, varying in size from 3 to 20 min, was imported into iMovie HD 6 as individual clips. These clips are, in a sense, self contained movies. I want to use iMovie to mute the sounds, add a soundtrack, and make some visual adjustments. My goal is to create an iDVD project with several submenus based on location, in each menu will be a list of the reels (iMovie clips), that took place in each location.
I've figured out how to do everything except saving and exporting edited clips to iDVD. Since iMovie is set up to create one movie per project (the timeline represents one movie, right?), I can import individual clips into iDVD but they aren't edited. What I want to be able to do is drag one clip into the timeline, make my adjustments, save it, put it back with the other clips to be imported in iDVD, and repeat the process. Is this possible in iMovie? Should I get something else like Final Cut Express?

I gather that what you want to do is modify the clips and save them as self contained movies for eventual import into iDVD.
Edit your clip in iMovie, add your sound track, and then File/Export/compress movie for Full Quality to your desktop as a self contained Quicktime Movie. Each of these self contained Quicktime Movies can be dragged into your iDVD project by dragging them to the edge of the main iDVD menu window.

No quants exist for posting changes. Creating TOu00B4s in LU04.

When creating transfer orders in LU04, we get an error message "No quants exist for posting changes'. We are using batch managed and serialized materials. Using QM interface, so, inspection lots are created at Goods Receipt. When QM team "accepts" batch materials during inspection lot, there is no problem, but when "accepts" serialized materials, the system creates posting changes notices but can not create transfer orders sending the message before described. This is because after receiving the serialized materials, we receive one piece at a time in order to create one inspection lot for every serial number. But when we put away the materials, we put them away in the same bin. so, system assigns one quant and one inspection lot to the bin, updating the last one every time we put away one serial number. When system tries to look for the inspection lot number selected in QA32, is not finding it in the bin at WM level because the bin only contains the last inspection lot that was put it away.
With batch managed numbers there is no problem since SAP divides the bin in different quants with the correspondent batches assigning an inspection lot to each quant.
Is there any alternative to solve the issue with the serialized materials? We are using SAP ECC 6.0.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
The reason why we put away serialized materials into the same bin is because materials are physically small and they fit more than one in each bin. The warehouse is structured in this way and we plan to use it like that because it wouldn´t be feasible to create one bin for each serialized material. Is there any other way to manage this situation?
Thanks in advance.

Transfer Order auto create for Posting Change not working

Hello Gurus -
When we release an inspection lot from "Q" status, it creates a posting change notice, and we have it configured to create a TO in the background to the same bin, and auto confirm. The desired and intended result is to take something from "Q" status to unrestricted status, while keeping it in the same bin - and avoiding the user having to deal with the transfer orders. Essentially it is seamless and all in the background, the user just sees that he has changed something from quality status to unrestricted.
It works fine when the entire quantity is selected for the usage decision, but when a partial usage decision is made, the transfer order does not create - and requires processing in LU04 for the posting change.
Why would this work for an entire qty, but not work for a partial qty - and simply require someone to go in to LU04 and hit "create transfer order" - with no additional information?
Any help would be most appreciated. Does it have something to do with a setting of quants?

Hi,
In case of a usage decision for a partial quantity, it is not possible to create the Transfer Order for the generated posting change notice automatically. This is only possible when the full quantity is released. The same happens if you release a partial quantity and post the rest to blocked stock or scrap. The reason is, there needs to be a user decision, which part of the quantity has to be posted, this is necessary for example when the quantity is distributed in the warehouse over many storage bins. But even if the full quantity is on one storage bin, there is no automatic TO creation. You can see this also in the online
processing (LT05), in case of partial quantities you have to enter the selected quantity in the quant list, for a full posting this is not necessary.
Hope this helps,

Where is the import option for "Start a new clip at each scene break" in iMovie 2013?

I am currently in the process of importing several mini-DV tapes via firewire into iMovie 2013. I have the most recent version of iMovie and am using a Sony Handycam to facilitate the transfer. The problem I am having is that when I hit import, iMovie splits what is supposed to be a single scene into multiple scenes ranging anywhere from a second to 5 minutes. I am left with several scene chunks that I cannot combine into one. I did a little research and found that iMovie is probably deinterlacing my scenes as it mistakes them for multiple scene breaks. In the older iMovie options, all I had to do was to go to "Preferences" -> "Import" -> then deselect "Start a new clip at each scene break". However, this option doesn't appear to be available in iMovie 2013. Is there a way I can force iMovie 2013 to import a single scene from my mini-DV camcorder without breaking it into multiple clips? Thanks!

1st : this is the wrong forum, this is iMovie for ipod/iphone and ipad ( iOS is the OSX mobile Operating System )
2nd : iMovie 11 is the current OSX version. iMovie 06 was the last of its kind, all newer, including iMovie 09 have complete new workflow, so functions of 06 are gone and have replaced with others.
Please go to the correct forum to find specific answers.

I filmed several takes of the same scene for a movie. I trimmed the best clips from each take and put them into the project screen. However, I can't figure out how to make it flow seamlessly as one scene. Can someone please help me??

If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.

Do we need to create individual shipment document for Transportation Chain

Do we need to create individual shipment document in Transportation Chain if the forwarding agent is same for all shipment?
For Example :
first it takes truck,
         then ship,
         then again truck to reach Customer.
in all above case forwading agent is same eg: DHL Service

Hi Doak,
Yes you need to create individual shipment document in Transportation chain.
For Example : when the trucks go from their respective shipping points to the harbor, the freight documents should not also contain main leg and subsequent leg information. When you create texts, you would not know if they are supposed to be valid for the preliminary, main or subsequent legs.
In order to avoid such limitations, we would recommend that you denote a transportation chain using multiple shipment documents. You can create these shipment documents almost automatically by using collective processing.
If you want depict a transportation chain within a shipment document, you must also accept the limited functions available to you.
The reason: Almost all shipment document functions refer to the document as a whole:
1.Outputs can only be printed for the entire document, not for individual legs
2.Handling units can only be created for the entire document, not for individual   legs
3. The same is valid for texts, deadlines in general, etc.
Hope this provides you some clarity. Reward points if helpful.

I am creating a calendar here in Australia for my Mother in Germany. Is it possible to have it posted to Germany by Apple?

I am creating a calendar here in Australia for my Mother in Germany. Is it possible to have it posted to Germany by Apple?

No. In order to have a book delivered to Germany you need to set iPhoto to the Gernamy Print Store in the iPhoto Preferences and use a credit card with a German billing address.

Editing raw video/saving individual clips

New to Premier Elements 10. Is there a way to save individual video clips after chopping up my raw video. Or should I be using another program? I simply want to convert a long video into shorter segments for my files and ease of future use. Thanks!

There are several methods for accomplishing this, and Steve's recommendation for SceneAlyzer is a good one, if one wants the longer Source File broken into "scenes."
When creating "sub-clips" * one must consider Handles, as if they edit too tightly, and then use those "sub-clips" in a Project, and apply Transitions, Handles will be necessary. This article goes into Handles in more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/701768?tstart=60
Also, using a CODEC, that does either light compression, or lossless compression, will pay quality dividends, when one goes to edit those "sub-clips." This article goes into more detail, for some lossless CODEC's: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/875797?tstart=0
Good luck,
Hunt
* The term "sub-clips" is used here to denote shortened and edited Clips from a larger "master clip." Note: in Premiere Pro, and some other NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs, there is an official term Sub-Clips, that have a slightly different meaning, and function, within a Project. Similar, but different. Here, I am using the term in a slightly different fashion, hence the " marks, and lack of capitalization.

Workflow for post processing offline images

I'm a professional real estate photographer who normally edits his own images after a photoshoot. I've recently become so busy that I'd like to outsource the post processing of my images to another individual who also uses Photoshop.
Is there a way to send this individual lower resolution images so he can work on them and then have him send me the metadata from his edits, so I can apply them to the images I have on my system? The reason for this question is because I'd like to minimize the size of the images I'm sending to the editor, but still be able to produce high resolution stills.
I understand there is a way to work with RAW images and save the metadata, but that doesn't fix the file size issue, and you can only save certain aspects like white balance, levels, etc... I really need a way to capture his history and save that to a file, that way if he were to use a certain filter, or brush on the image, the same results would be applied to my images.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You can't apply the history log, it is just information on what has been done to the file. You would have to read this file and simply repeat the same steps on the higher resolution version of the file.
As for the replacement work flow I mention: you would open the low resolution file that your worker created. Then you would use the Place command (under the File menu) to add your original high resolution version of the image as a new layer. This will make your image a Smart Object layer. Move this layer to the bottom of the layer stack, just above Background, if that is an option. Make sure your smart object is at 100% scale (when you place the file, it is shrunk to fit the existing document boundaries), you can do this by using Free Transform (under the Edit menu) and verifying the values at the top. Then use the Reveal All command (under the Image menu) to resize the canvas to fit the full resolution version of the image. However, this really will only work if the editing involved was pretty much nothing by adjustment layers. Any pixel edits will have to be resized as well and may loose detail or not line up correctly once enlarged.
