CS4 How to save a clip or a group of clips to use in another project ?

Hi guys, I am new here and I am new in this videoediting.
I find Premiere Pro fantastic to edit videos, it really is a program for PRO´s.
Because of that it has so many functions and options that it is hard for a beginner to find his way.
I have tried to find the answere to my question in the Help, here in this Forum and I have also two different Video tutorials but not lucky.
Background:
I had 10 videotapes from a Sony handycam that I took in 1989-90 in NZ living there with my 2 small daughters for one year.
I have got the tapes transformed to DVD´s and I have no problem to read them and edit them in Pro CS4. But I want to make a couple of different videos for different audiences.
One DVD incl the whole trip, one short version and then I want to use just some clips for something totally diferent.
I put in a lot of effort to change the lightning and editing every clip very carefully. I just want to do this one time for every clip.
So how can I save the edited clips so I easily can open them up in different projects?
Probably a stupid question but no question - no answere!
I have been readinf quite a lot here in the different forums for Premiere and I am amazed how much knowledge there is here.
Best regards
Sven

I hope my question has not been answered yet, I hope to hear another solution to my problem.
Problem again:
I have 10 movies in .vob format, each around 30 minutes.
I edit each movie and from the first one I got 19 clips and together 5 min 23 seconds.
Each clip I try to make better with better lights, better sound etc etc using video and audio efects. So I put a lot of work into each clip.
When I have edited all 10 movies I might have 200 clips and each clip is improved by using different video and movie effects.
Then I want to make 3 maybe 4 different movies from all the clips. For some clips I might want to change the effects depending on which movie it will be included in or for some other reason.
So I want to save each clip with the video and audio effects "open".
I have got some ideas from Alan and Ann and I have tested to Export from the Workarea.
So I want to report the results from my tests:
I have a clip 1 min 40 sec with many diiferent video effects.
Format: Quick time gives a .mov file and the size was 381 Mbyte. It took around 30 minutes
Format: Microsoft avi gives a .avi file and the size was also 381 Mbyte and took same time.
Format: H.264 gives a .mp4 file and the size is only 40 Mbytes but took same time.
Format: MPEG4 gives a .3gp file with size 2.2 Mbytes.
When you export to media you choose Format and Preset plus you have 100 other different parameters that you can change.
When you click OK Adobe Media Encoder starts up. Here you can change Format and Preset and you can also duplicate the order to make a new file and make files with different Formats.
.mov file, .avi file and .mp4 file gave in my opinion same quality but the 3gp file was very blurred. I could import all the 3 first formats into Premiere Pro CS4 BUT the video and audio effects were deleted. The effects had affected the new movies so that is kind of OK but I had hoped the new movies should contained the effectinformation so I could change the effect for each clip depending of which final movie it should be in.
The Premiere Pro CS4 is a fantastic tool and a user can taylor his own "clipboard" with his style and make and save his own tools (effects).
Maybe there is a function to save an original clip together with its video and audio effects so it easy can be used and reused.
I have learned a lot today and I hope someone else has found these posts interesting and wants to dig deeper into the subject.
Thanks everyone!
Sven

PE 9; can clip from scene line be saved to use in another project?

Hi-
First time post. Can a clip in the scene line be saved as a separate clip in organizer to be used in another project?
I have a long project that is comprised of many clips, and I would like to reuse some of them in other projects, or other versions of this project.
The "export" button seems to be grayed out in the files section.
Rename seems to be just to rename the whole project.
I guess I could just rename/save several times, then cut out all of the other clips, and just save the desired clip, but that seem like too much work to be the way Adobe really wants it to be able to be done. Is there a more efficient way?
Thank you.

How can I use footage from one project in another? First set the Work Area Bar to cover the part you want to reuse, and then Share it .
Export is only used to save titles files. All other options are within the share tab.

Photoshop CS4 "Could not save as...because file is already in use or was left open"

I have been using Photoshop for years, and CS4 for about a year now. I have never had this error message pop up until this week. It started happening right after I did the Adobe update to 11.0.2. Everytime I try to save a PSD or JPG file now (which are the only two types of files I work with), I get this message preventing me from being able to save;
"Could not save as... because file is already in use or was left open."
I have to attempt to Save as about a dozen times before it will finally save the file. Any suggestions on what could be wrong and how to remedy it? Is it the update that caused this problem?

Turn off Caching of Thumbnails in Hidden thumbs.db Files
People sometimes report that they cannot manipulate their folders as they want to because Explorer has a thumbs.db file open. Windows 7 apparently generates these files for compatibility with older software that may expect such files to exist in folders with, for example, photos in them.
The good news is that (with Windows 7 Professional and above) you can disable this through the Group Policy editor:
Click the Start orb
Enter gpedit.msc in the search box and hit Enter.
Expand User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components.
Click on Windows Explorer.
Right-click the entry "Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files" and choose Edit.
Enable the setting.

I want to copy video, cutaways and audio combined and use in another project. So far I can only copy the video clip or one of the other elements at a time. How do I group all of them?

I want to group my video clip with its audio and cutaway clips so that I can copy the segment and move it to another project. So far I can only move one element at a time. How can I group all the elements?

You can select multiple objects in the timeline in the usual Mac way - hold down the shift key while you click on the objects then copy, select other project, position playhead where you want to insert then paste.

How do I store a compound clip for later use or another project?

I created a compound clip, then lifted it from story line and disabled it, its darkened (invisible doesnt play in the viewer),
however its space runs as black empty frames when I play over it.
I want to do 2 things:
I wanted the footage proceeding it to shift in left to fill that black void and play, as the compound clip is "hidden". Is this possible?
I also wanted to save that compound clip for use later in this project and possibly in another project, can I save it out as a separate clip set?

I think I got it, lift the compound clip from storyline by right clicking and choosing "lift from storyline",
drag the compound clip left or right out of its original position, select the grey slate where it used to be in the time line, and hit delete. the clips to the right now shift left to fill its void.
and the compound clip is automatically available in the event library folder its grouped clips originated from but now shown as a compound clip once you create that compound clip..

How to get a list of file paths for all files used in a project

I have a project in Premiere Pro CC which has a large number of bins. A sequence in one of these bins uses files from other bins. I am trying to find the locations of all each of the files used in the project.
1) Obviously I can select each clip in the timeline and show in finder, but there a lot of clips
2) The video usage associated with each file in the project would help. However
1. I haven't found a way to display only clips that have video useage if all of the bins have not been expanded.
2. Video usage shows usage for all sequences, so one would have to manually check the pull down for each file to see if it is used in the sequence in question.
3) I tried exporting the project to final cut pro xml. The path url gives me the information that I need. For some reason, however, when I do the export only one clip's information is there, not the information for all of the other clips in the project.
4) I tired an export for speedgrade and all of the file names are there. However the paths are not.
Basically I want to find all of the files in the project and relocate them to a specific folder for that project. There's got to be a way to do this but I'm not seeing it ....

Thanks for the suggestion concerning the file path. And certainly it would have been nice to have done this before beginning. However this is a project that has been around for quite a while, and the files have been moved into different bins. And now the project sequence is being revised.
So the problem is, worded slightly differently, how can I search all of the bins for the files that are used just by this sequence, ignoring the files which are used by other sequences? Or, how can I get a list of the file paths of the files that are used in the sequence?

Word 2007 - Save as Pdf gives error - This file is in use by another application or user

I have MS Office 2007 Small Business.
For months I have been using the "Save as PDF/XPS" option to save my word documents as PDF files.
All of a sudden, when I click on the publish button within the "save as PDF dialog", I get the error:
"This file is in use by another application or user."
- I have tried creating a new word document and I still get this error when I try to save-as pdf.
- I have tried opening a document that previously was able to be saved-as-a-pdf, and it no longer works either.
- I have tried saving from other office applications (excel, powerpoint) that also get errors now.
I have not personally installed any new software that I recall between when this worked and stopped working for me.
As far as I can tell there have been no updates explicitly for save-as-pdf in office.
Is anyone else seeing this problem all-of-a-sudden?
Thanks.

I just encountered this problem while trying to save a pdf from Excel 2007. I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 9.1.
I received the same error message you're reporting here when I went to Word 2007 and tried to save a pdf file from it as well.
I uninstalled Adobe Reader 9.1.
Reinstalled the Office 2007 pdf plug-in
Successfully created pdf files from word and from Excel (which is what I needed to do in the first place).
I then reinstalled Adobe Reader 9.1 so I could read the PDF files I had just created in Excel and word.
I then tried to create pdf files from word and excel. Error messages are back and I'm unable to create pdf's from word or excel.
So.. why does Office 2007 pdf plugin not work when Adobe Reader 9.1 is installed?
Frankly I'm getting tired of uninstalling Adobe Reader 9.1 every time I need to create a pdf file in Word or Excel.

How to make a method global so that it can be used in another component.?

Hi,
Is it possible to make a method global so that it can be used in another component.?
i.e I have one component C1 and methods declared in this component M1, M2, ...
Now I have another component C2 and in this component i want to use method M1 of component C1.
how to do so?
Any inputs will be appreciated.
Thanx.

Hi,
As Uday said, To make the method as global of component say C1, You have to make method as interface by clicking the check box.
Now while using the method in other component say C2, you have to follow following steps:
1. In used component of comp. C2, add component C1.
2. Instantiate the component atleast once in any of the method of component using code wizard option:
'Instantiate Used Componet'.
3. Now you can call the method of component C1 using code wizard option 'Method call in used controller'

How do you save or export an edited clip or sequence to use in another project without losing qualit

Does anyone else like to edit each scene seperately. Render and save, then compile a completed movie of the scenes? What format in elements?

You can edit one scene at a time within a single project - setting the WorkAreaBar to cover an individual scene will limit preview rendering to that scene. Once satisfied with a particular scene you can Share it to a separate file if you want to reuse them in other projects - use the WorkAreaBar to cover the range you wish to export. Use the DV-AVI format to maintain quality. Or if you don't mind adding additional codecs add the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec. Bill Hunt has written a Tips & Tricks article on using this.
This FAQ entry will also be helpful: How can I use footage from one project in another?

How to save the session states for a tabular form WITHOUT using check boxs?

Greeting guys,
As you know that we can use collections to save the session states of a tabular forms, described in the how-to doc of manual tabular forms. However, what I am trying to do ( or have to do) is to provide a manual tabular form, and save the session states for validation, without using the check boxes. Because a user can put contents into some columns in a row without checking the corresponding checkbox, according to the requirements. So basically what I tried is to loop over all the rows and save Every entry into a collection. However, sometimes I got "no data found" error with unknown reasons.
My current solution is to use the "dirty" Retry button that gets back the history, which IMO is not a good workabout. So, I'd appreciate if somebody can shed some light on a better solution, especially if it is close to the one in that how-to doc.
Thanks in advance.
Luc

The following is the first collection solutin I've tried:
htmldb_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('TEMP_TABLE');
for i in 1..p_row_num loop -- Loop on the whole form rows
if (htmldb_application.g_f01(i) is not null) or (htmldb_application.g_f05(i) <> 0)
--If either of them has some input values, the row should be saved into the colleciton.
then
htmldb_collection.add_member(
p_collection_name => 'TEMP_TABLE',
p_c001 => htmldb_application.g_f01(i),
p_c002 => htmldb_application.g_f03(i),
p_c003 => htmldb_application.g_f04(i),
p_c004 => htmldb_application.g_f05(i),
p_c005 => htmldb_application.g_f06(i),
p_c006 => htmldb_application.g_f08(i)
end if;
end loop;
Some of columns have null values, but I don't think that's the reason. Because once I clicked all the check boxes, there would be no error no matter what values were in other columns.
Another issue would be extract the values FROM the collection, which has been tried because I had problem to store the data into the collection. I used "decode" functions inside the SQL to build the tabular form. I am not sure whether it will be the same as a regular SQL for a tabular form, like the example in the How-to doc.
Also I didn't use the checksum, for it is not an issue at the current stage. I am not sure whether that's the reason which caused the NO DATA FOUND error.

How to save, combine and retrieve the images on hard drive using IMAQ in labview

Hi,
I am using NI-1426 frame grabber to capture images of 800x1 resolution with 270 bands. Actually, I want to capture images from camera and saving into the hard drive continuously so that my buffer does not run out of memory. After capturing say 100 images of same resolution (800x1), I want to combine all images into ENVI format and then again save on hard-drive. Please guide me how can I do that?
Thanks
Sidd

Hi Jeff,
Let me explain it in little detail.
I am using PCI NI-1426 frame grabber to capture the images at particular frame rate. Ni-1426 has 2 ports i.e. 26 pin camera and 15 pin triggering port. I am sending the pulse per second (pps) signal from gps to the triggering port. I want to check for the pps signal through the frame grabber 15 pin port. Please tell me how can I listen to a trigger through a frame grabber in labview? As I have connected pps signal on pin1 in 15 pin port, I want to read that pin. or how can I read a particular pin data in labview? I have already checked that I am getting pps signal through oscilloscope.
Thanks
Regards,
Sidd

How to save a copy of a file to different location using jfilechooser

hi, this is ravikiran,
In my project there is a situation where when a user clicks on some button, a copy of a file(which is initially in my project folder) must be saved to a location specified by the user.
I have no idea how to do this using JFileChooser.
help me,
thanx in advance

JFileChooser lets you choose a file. Once it's done you will have to program the copy function with womething like :
     public void copyToDir(String fileSource,String fileDest) {
          try {
               FileChannel srcChannel = new FileInputStream(fileSource).getChannel();
               FileChannel dstChannel = new FileOutputStream(fileDest).getChannel();
               dstChannel.transferFrom(srcChannel, 0, srcChannel.size());
               srcChannel.close();
               dstChannel.force(true);
               dstChannel.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     }

How to save the tab app and group tabs ?

The Tab App and Group Tab are nice ideas but tend dissappear physicalky.
I do not understand when then dissappear and when not.

Does restoring tabs work or is that failing as well?
*Firefox > Preferences > General > Startup: When Firefox Starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account. It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone. I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany. His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked. How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

Good afternoon Weth! That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!
