Deleting unwanted footage from single large clip (Hi8)?

Apologies if this is a really dumb question! I was capturing old home movies from Hi8 tape and I lost track of time. I captured the entire tape as a single clip but when the tape ran out, FCE kept recording for another 45 minutes. Is there any way to permanently delete that 45 minutes of blue screen from the clip? It's an extra 10Gb on my hard disk that I hate to waste. Thanks for the help!!

Not a dumb question at all.
I'd load the clip into your Viewer, mark In and Out points and put it in the Timeline. Then export a self-contained QuickTime movie. You can then delete the original clip.

  • How to delete unwanted footage?

    I'm new to Final Cut, so excuse my ignorance, I'm still learning it.
    I shoot in the mini-DV format and then import clips from the DV tape through the camera. Up to now I've been reviewing each tape and carefully importing only specific clips off them, avoiding the marginal footage, not wanting to use up hard drive space with it. But I wonder if it's possible to save time by importing entire tapes, the bad footage along with the good, then use only the good parts in a project, and afterward deleting the unwanted footage from the hard drive?
    In other words, at the end of a project, can Final Cut delete from your hard drive the footage that you did not use?

    You can use the much dreaded MEDIA MANAGER under the File menu.
    But DO read up on it in the manual. It is very confusing.
    What I sometimes do is after I complete my edit I'll move all the edited bits into another project by using media manager and removing the actual capture files.
    But again... READ UP ON IT. You can use Media Manager to just move your selected bits to a new project without really copying the files. You want to make sure you actually COPY the files.
    Good luck

  • How do I delete unwanted folder from my email?

    I am using yahoo email and was wondering is there a way to delete unwanted folders from my email? I have tried deleting them but I get a blank box and can't proceed until I name the folder that I do not want. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Check your account settings with Outlook for removing or deleting messages from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
    The iPhone's email client includes the same settings, as do all email clients for a POP account.
    I would handle this with Outlook. Delete and recreate the account with Outlook, and before checking the account for new message with Outlook, select remove or deleted messages from the server when downloaded for the account preferences with Outlook.
    All messages available on the server will be downloaded again by Outlook, and removed from the server when doing so. You can mass delete all messages from Outlook.
    When deleting and recreating the account with the iPhone's Mail client, none of these messages will be downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client after being removed from the server when downloaded by Outlook.
    Or since you likely have webmail access for this account using a browser, you can mass delete all messages available on the server via webmail access. After deleting the messages from the server, delete and recreate the account with the iPhone's Mail client.
    An IMAP account is much easier in this regard, which is designed to be accessed with multiple email clients on different computers or devices.
    A POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client on one computer or device.

  • I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!

    I deleted unwanted photos from my iPhoto library, emptied iPhoto trash & Finder trash... this did not free up disk space. please help!
    I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (Late 2011) with OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
    Last week, my 500 GB Harddrive had 120 GB free space. I was feeling crumby and decided to make productive use of taking a day off to lounge around. I snuggled up with my laptop and dedicated hours to meticulously combing through my iPhoto Library. I had 13,000 pictures, and I got rid of those I didn't want. Having said "sayōnara" to about 6,500 pictures, I then emptied the iPhoto trash and the Finder trash. I took delight in the iconic paper crumpling sound of them vanishing into the digital void.
    Everything seemed perfect: the photos I loved were still there, the photos I loathed were gone, both trashes were beautifully empty. Having thrown away all of those awful, boring, and unflattering images of poorly light lunches and selfies gone wrong, my iPhoto library was half the size as before! I felt renewed, a little lighter, somehow more free, and I expected my hard drive to be a bit different to.
    I eagerly checked my storage stats. My heart sank to see that my 120 GB of free space, was still only 120 GB of free space. I restarted my MacBook; this did not help. I restarted it the next day; this also did not help. It's been 5 days and the hard drive still has 120 GB free space. This is not an emergency and it will probably be a good while before I clutter my laptop to the brim. Yet while I am glad I don't have to see cringeworthy pictures of my ex's unmentionables every time I'm showing off things I do want to remember, I'm still disappointed and now obsessed with solving this mystery.
    What is going on? I don't see them, so where are they hiding? How do I get the free space I should have earned from throwing away 1,000's of photos?!

    Thank you, Terence!
    Yes, I only emptied the trash when it was really full, once I waited until the trash cans contained 2,600 photos and then I emptied them - Oooops! In the future, I'll keep in mind your suggestion of deleting less than 100 photos at a time.
    I downloaded the iPhoto Library Manager and used it to rebuild my iPhoto. After a few hours of rebuilding, it generated a new copy of my iPhoto Library. This versions was nearly identical to the original (it was missing 5 photos and was therefore only 5 mb smaller). I guess my Library wasn't defective.
    I checked my storage stats, and interestingly, using iPhoto Library Manager did help with the problem that developed after I re-indexed my hard drive. My hard drive is able to properly recognize data categories again, instead of listing almost everything as "Other". Understandably, my free disk space changed from 120 GB to about 60 GB, because my hard drive now contained a second copy of my iPhoto Library as well as iPhoto Library Manager. It seemed like all I needed to do was throw these away, but when I emptied the trash, my problem was not solved. My Hard drive now looked like this:
    It appears to me that when I empty the trash, the things I throw away are just hanging around as backups instead of leaving! I went into System Preferences and turned of my time machine OFF. Now my hard drive looks likes this:
    The back ups of the iPhoto files, and the program which I deleted, are still on my hard drive some where but now they are listed as "Other" instead of "Backups". Do you know where they might be and how I can delete them for good?

  • How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

    I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
    I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
    How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
    I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
    Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
    Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
    If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
    Thank you.

  • Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the purchase list

    Ipad mini cannot delete unwanted app from the puchase list . too many app there

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide them via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - if your iPad is on iOS 7, then after hiding them on your computer you may need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in for them to be hidden in the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it (the last time I hid an app I needed to do that).

    Pictures in Photo Library are synced from your computer and must be deleted from there, followed by re-sync.  Photos in Camera Roll can be deleted from your iPhone directly (tap arrow in top right, tap the pictures you want to delete, press the Delete button).

    What do you mean delete from iTunes? You can't do that on an iPad. You can delete apps in iTunes on a computer. If you want to delete an app on the iPad, tap and hold down on the icon until the icon wiggles, then tap the  X appears on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button when finished.
    You really need to explain in more detail what you wNt to do. Maybe this will help.

  • Editing dv clips and deleting unwanted footage?

    I just started using imovie and have a question on the editing functions. After I import video from my VCR, I want to chop the clips up. I have played with the imovie editing functions, but everything seems to only HIDE the footage that I chop, and not actually DELETE it. This is rather frustrating for me, since my completed movie will include hundreds of clips and if I can't delete my unwanted footage, not only will it waste tons of memory, but editing will be a nightmare.
    Basically what I'm looking to do is import hundreds of clips and edit each one seperately before I start compiling and arranging. When I trim or delete something, I want it to be gone for good.
    Is this possible to do in imovie? If not, can someone recommend an economic friendly software that will do this.

    I have the same problem. How do I delete all the scrap footage that I no longer want? - permanently? I have edited a 40 minute video down to 3.5 minutes, deleted the scrapped clips and emptied the trash, but my file size is still huge and is eating up my hard drive space. I even tried "Save As..." and still cannot rid the project of many gigabytes of unwanted scrap footage.
    I have used iMovie for quite some time. Older versions of iMovie were not like this.
    The only option I can find is to export only the selected clips to a single .DV file, trash the entire original iMovie project, and then re-import the saved .DV clips to a new project. What a pain in the @$$. I am not happy... :-|

  • Workflow for deleting extra footage from session/hard drive

    I want to save hard drive space. I have several session of 40gb each. I am new to video editing and realize the way to work is to trim the 4gb files so that I only have the needed footage on the drive, deleting the prerolls and extras from my drive. BUT, I dont know how to do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Is this task better done before I create a project?
    So what is the best workflow?
    Workflow A
    1. Insert SD Media to Computer and edit using MPEG Streamclip or Quicktime(trimming)
    2. Export clips into Session/Scene based folders on main footage hard drive
    3. delete source files from SD media - large files never get saced to hard drive
    If this is best, what export settings are best for Premiere Pro CS6.
    Can this task be as easily done in CS6?
    Workflow B
    1. Insert SD card into computer and open clips in Premiere Pro CS6
    2. Add Scenes/Sessoins into a Sequence and use in/out points to drop clips/subclips into the project(per scene)
    3. export them to hard drive and delete session footage.
    Id this is best, how do you export from Premiere Pro CS6 so that the clips in the sequence are now referenced, the audio and video are stored where I can access them/labeled and I can trash the source footage.
    I hope this makes sense. I want to trim away the wwasted footage and drive space. My 250GB drive is almost full and only 20-30GB is useufl footage. I need a workflow to reduce the file sizes.
    For the current footage  I have the resolution of the export doesnt matter, no one will see them but me. Rehearsal footage. I need the audio and video to stay linked(is that what rendering does?)
    Thanks.

    So an example of what i'm doing is this.
    Last week I  captured 4 rehearsals (musicians and dancers) each lasting one hour. Each rehearsal contains only 2o mins of usefull footage. But the 20 mins are spread out so that if i edited each session there would be 5 4min clips. There will be rehearsals ongoing for twelve weeks so I''ll be duplicating this process many times. I want to save space on the drive by doing some initial editing to reduce each hour session to 5 4min clips.
    What is the best workflow  so that at the end of each week I have 4folders each holding the 20mins of good footage(and audio) on my drive and all the unneccessary footage is trashed. A few sessions will comprise a multicamera setup. All sessions have audio from the cameras and audio from a mixing console. I want all the audio from every source kept.
    I want to preedit each week so that 12 weeks from now when I do the master edit, I have already saved rive space, matched audio sources to the clips(even if I havent edited multicamera clips)
    Can you help me with the front end of the post capture workflow? What is the best way to save space and time given my goal of documenting the rehearsals and for havign a compilation video later? Thanks !!!!
