Editing and reusing clips

I want to take small clips from some of my videos and reuse them on new projects, but in order to do that I need to edit the videos down to seperate clips. That's not the issue of it, I can cut the clips of the videos I want to use just fine through editing. The only error is that I'm editing them on a seperate project.
Once I take the clips from one video and delete the parts I no longer need, I'm not sure how to save them as seperate clips to use on the new project as Project Assets.
I was hoping to save each piece to my desktop seperatly, and hopefully importing them into the organizer one at a time. I'm looking through the online manual for a solution, but if someone can give me some instructions directly, it'd be a great help. Thanks.
I have Adobe Premiere Elements 12, if that helps figure out the solution in any way.

Answer will depend on whether SD or HD project clips are to be exported and what the project settings are.
If you have an SD project, you might export your Timeline content as DV AVI standard or widescreen
Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with preset for DV NTSC Standard or DV NTSC Widescreen or the PAL counterparts.
maybe
Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with preset MP4 - NTSC DV Standard or MP4 - NTSC Widescreen or the PAL counterparts.
If you had a HD project, you might export your Timeline content as
Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with preset MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or its PAL countepart or M2T 1920 x 1080i30 or its PAL counterpart.
With more details, we could fine tune the information.

Rolling edits and compound clips...

If I use the Blade tool to make a cut in my main clip, thus dividing it into two parts, I can then use the Trim tool to perform a rolling edit on the edit point I just created with the Blade tool (thereby adjusting the position of the edit point after I create it with the Blade tool).
However, if I use the Blade tool to do the same sort of cut to a connected clip, I cannot use the Trim tool to perform a similar rolling edit to adjust the edit point I just cut into the connected clip. I presume this is because when I use the blade tool to cut a connected clip in two, I am creating two connected clips with independent points of attachment to the main clip. Is that true? Is there any way to perform the rolling edit I want (without having to adust the tail end of the first clip and the head of the second?

Thanks, Tom. I vaguely remember secondary storylines from the tutorials I did. I'll have to look at them again.

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?

Hello,
How do I edit a merged clip in Audition, that was created in premiere to correct the synchronisation, and have it all updated to the premiere clip?
I have tried several tutorials but these either:
- show correction in premiere sequence (which is not practical; given the huge number of files we have)
- or show the editing in audition of a sequence, not the clip.
We have started merging audio and video (removing the original audio during merge) but some of the merged clips are out of sync, so we need to correct manually, BUT we want to correct the merged clip, which may or may not end up being used, so we do not want to take it to the sequence as all we are doing is prepare the synced files for editing.
Any idea how I can correct the synchronisation in Audition?, when I right click on clip and select "Edit in Adobe Audition" I get a list of files but not a multitrack session where I can see my video and audio tracks.

if premiere pro doesn't sync your footage properly, and you have a huge number of files, you may want to look at pluraleyes. there is a demo, and if it works properly, it would save you time to have it done right the first time, instead of tracking down random merged clips with bad sync.
premiere will either export a complete sequence or "edit clip in audition". the edit clip will create a copy of the original audio and open that in audition. there is no dynamic link, its just an audio file open in two programs at the same time. since there is no dynamic link, its not possible to bring merged clips into audition.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Synchronizing audio and video with Merge Clips
Once created, the merged clip cannot be re-synchronized, or adjusted. You must make a new merged clip.
Merged clip audio results in mono track audio only.Final Cut Pro XML and AAF interchange formats are not supported.
this doesn't give me much hope that audition or any other adobe program outside of premiere will help you fix the problem merged clips.

How can I edit a video clip in PE and take it out of PE to use elsewhere?

I want to add edited video clips from PE to use in my photoshop slideshow. I would also like to use the edited clips in another programme, but I only get a file that can only be opened in PE. I have PE 4 and Photoshop 6.on a desktop PC using Vista.

Many thanks for your reply.
I have video thumbnails from my video camera in My Videos folder. I would like to edit them individualy and return them to my folder as thumbnails again.
I hope I have explained my needs properly. I have made a slideshow including video on photoshop, but I get lost with it on PremE so I have kept to the job on PhotoEl. It seems to work for me apart from the problem of editing the video clips. I have added audio to the slideshow, but when it gets to a video clip I lose the video's sound. I would like to keep that rather than the added audio (music) that plays over the stills.
As you have no doubt realised, I am a beginner and a pensioner. Would senility be an excuse?
Thanks again,
John

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.
I am using CS5.

Editing PAL wmv clip and converting to NTSC

I have a 50 min clip (given to me by a client) which was captured in PAL, edited, and compressed as .wmv file; the audio rate is 44.1KHz, square pixel ratio. I need to edit in FCP and convert to NTSC. I've tried rendering in FCP after it's imported, converting to NTSC before bringing it in (probably at the wrong settings), and changing the sequence settings.
I can view it fine in the viewer, but once I put it in the timeline, the sound is completely unsynched (probably the 44.1 thing), which is why I changed the sequence settings to 44.1.
I did find the macworld article from March '06 on how to successfully transfer to PAL using Compressor 2 and will use that. Here's the link for those who want it:
http://www.macworld.com/2006/02/secrets/marchcreate/index.php
Here's my question, do I first transfer the huge clip through flip4mac to make it a .mov, or do I put it through compressor? Or, do I edit it down to the 7 - 1 minute clips I actually need from the clip, export those using ???? and then do the other conversions?

Do you think the out of sync sound is due to the
44.1KHz as opposed to 48KHz?
No.
I did try changing the
sequence settings to 44.1 bringing the exact clips
in, and then rendering (which should convert from
.wmv), but it was still out of sync. Doing it that
way, should I make the sequence settings 44.1KHz but
leave it PAL until I later do the compressor
conversion?
I'd use flip4Mac to get the files to .mov's... then edit in PAL. Export the PAL sequence to compressor for the NTSC conversion.
I think once you get them to .mov's you're possibly home free with the sync problem. FCP just doesn't support wmv's... so that could be the sync problem.

I'm doing a simple edit and after editing clips for a while I am dropping sound. Why is the sound dropping out?

I'm doing a simple edit. The clips audio is fine when previewed or when in the time line. However, after editing for a while the audio is now dropping out. I have moments when just a frame or two drop our or even several seconds. What can I do to fix this without having to start over again? Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
To my third question, how are you exporting? For example, if you selected Export Media before you added the third party effects, I would expect that the export went pretty quickly. If that is what you did, open that file in QuickTime and hit command i to show the format of your exported movie.
Or perhaps your Share workflow was "send to Compressor"?
I don't have any experience Digital Hotcakes products. When you say "it worked" with the reception video, do you mean the same DHB effects you used in the multicam project? Was the reception video the same format as your multiclip?

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Assuming you do not have access to the "original" video/project and the YouTube video is the only copy, there is a method. Try "YouTube Downloader" which is a free software that allows you to download clips from YouTube as .mp4 files. You can then edit with Premiere, and re-encode again for upload to YouTube. Just keep in mind that you are re-compressing the video so there will be some quality loss. The better the quality of the original, the better the copy will hold up.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
Many thanks.

Long HDV and XDCAM clips through Final Cut Server

Hi,
I know that I could post this in Compressor and/or Quicktime and/or Leopard/Tiger Forums, but as this problem it`s causing my Final Cut Server to not working well, I think it makes sense to post here.
To resume: HDV and XDCAM clips (all on original codec, only xdcam transferred to mov in xdcam transfer) with file size bigger than exactly 4GB always FAILS in "Final Cut Server"/"Compressor alone in ANY machine installed from scratch"/"Anything that uses Quicktime". Source and Destination being localy or networked. DV or DV50 can get bigger than that, I`ve never seen this error with DV`s codecs.
I had seen this problem before I bought final cut server. When I was transcoding our interviews for transcription. We always worked with BETA SP and captured in DV or DV50. We were starting to go to HDV and now to XDCAM and this error has started to appear.
I have a "proxy" made a year ago from a HDV and it`s original has 8GB. I tried this file again and as I expected didn`t work. In ANY computer with any installations with only the latest updates. I`ve remembered that I was using Tiger at this time, and Quicktime/Tiger/ProApps had a old version.
My two cents are that some update from Tiger/Leopard/QuickTime/ProApps made this happen.
So ANY HDV/XDCAM file bigger than 4GB it`s FAILING in ANY system. (Tiger or Leopard, With or without FCP and QT PRO, Installed from scratch and updated every thing).
Some tests I`ve made:
-Compressor works with this two codecs to lower res in TIGER and with QuickTime Version 7.4.0 and LOWER. (had to be tested, but I think that was my version of QT when I managed to make the proxy of this two codecs).
-Compressor doesn`t work on any system with QT above 7.4.0.
-CATDV (http://www.squarebox.co.uk/) version 6 can make proxy versions of this two codecs in TIGER ONLY! They already know of this problem and CATDV 7 works on both.
-Compressing in compressor with H.264 (same codec as the FCSvr proxy) BUT without changing the resolution, size and etc. Works OK in both Tiger and Leopard.
-Exporting through QT works in ANY system BUT I loose TC, so it`s not an option (and I can`t input this workflow in FCSvr without using compressor).
-Exporting from FCP as QuickTime Movie with H.264 doesn`t work on Both (Tiger and Leopard).
-Exporting fro FCP as QuickTime Conversion with H.264 works but as exporting from QT I loose TC and can`t input this into FCSvr workflow.
Error message are always: "QuickTime error = -50" or "QuickTime error: corrupted data" (and of course it`s not corrupted because it`s used - even in FCP to edit - and opened viewed, catdv can do proxy and everything).
I`m surprised not to see anyone freaking out about this issue... I don`t think that It`s only me.
This is some problems that I came across while trying to find a solution:

Thank You all in advance.

Hi Chará!
We should, but I think the others will be disappointed eheheheh.
It doesn`t matter what version of Leopard I`m using (right know I`m using Leopard Server 10.5.6, but this issue has happened even with 10.4 if QT is updated and all updates of 10.5 up, as I`
ve mentioned above).
What file size are those clips that are longer than 10min?
I really don`t get, how it`s possible that just the two of us has HDV and XDCAM files with file size longer than usual? Maybe people that do interviews don`t like to record the entire interview and when capturing those clips would be under this file size limit? Or maybe we are the only ones in the whole world that transcode longer HDV and XDCAM clips (it`s funny that it doesn`t even need to be FCSrv, with only ONE machine and compressor this issue happens all the time).
I`m convinced that I have to install a Tiger version in a virtual machine with compressor and doesn`t update anything to test this further on. But I`m certain that with TIGER and CATDV this works ok! And I think that CATDV uses QT engine to do this transcodes.
This is too much of a mystery to me. Maybe it`s time to spend 24+ hours with apple in a international call and probably not getting anywhere.
I`m only posting this here in FCSrv forum because this issue it`s must worse when you have hundreds of clips with this issue and if you bought the package it doen`t matter if it`s a problem with QT+OSX or whatever, apple has to solve it for FCSrv use.
Do you reckon?
Let`s get in touch through email: lucas at rwcine.com.br

Editing and sharing custom metadata/keywords through Adobe Drive in Adobe Bridge

I am part of a four-person video production unit operating within a local governmental entity. We are currently using four licenses of Adobe Master Collection CS5, and are about to get access to dedicated SAN storage.
We would like each user to have the ability to assign specific keywords to any given video clip (or remove keywords from clips) within Adobe Bridge, and have the three other users see the same results. I've noticed that Bridge alone will allow for keywords to be added or removed, but this list is specific to each user. Importing one list into other users' profiles is a start, but would no longer work, once keywords are added or taken away.
The overview page for Adobe Drive 3 says that it, "allows users to edit and view custom metadata/properties through Adobe Drive in Adobe Bridge," but I haven't found any explanation in either the website, forums, or user's guides that delves any farther into this area. If we incorporate Adobe Drive/Bridge into our workflow, will we be able to share/sync keywords between users? Is there some other (affordable) solution that would let us do this?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to offer.
Chuck

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your case.
The keywords you mentioned is XMP metadata, if all your digital assets are managed by ADEP CQ DAM service, you can use AD3 with built-in ADEP connector to communicate with the DAM server, then, I think it can meet your requirement, it means, the keywords can be set by one user through metadata panel in Bridge, and can be viewed by other users.
for custom properites, it's different from XMP metadata, it refers to the properties of one asset which is managed by a Content Management service. users have to use another UI to edit/view them in Br after AD3 is installed.
here are some requirements to use it.
1) CMIS 1.0 compiliant server should be used to manage all your digital assets
2) use the built-in CMIS with AD3 to connect to the server.
if other kind of servers are used, you should develope a custom connector through AD SDK to enable custom properties feature as well as some other handler required by AD SDK
thanks

Insert Edit and Overwrite Edit Crashes This One Premiere Project

Hi All,
I'm working off of many premiere projects, and one crashes when I use the insert edit and override edit button. At first it was only if I used the keyboard command, but now it happens when using the mouse. I'm afraid the project file is corrupted.
Has anyone come across this issue? The workarounds I have tried include copying and pasting sequences to a new project, copying contents of a sequence into a new sequence, and importing an XML to a new project (which I thought would work, but I got an error message: Premiere experienced a generic message).
Any thoughts? I'm kind of stumped and don't want to lose a few days rebuilding the project file.

Thanks for the response, Mark. And giving the version makes sense...an obvious oversight on my part
Anyway, I was running 2014 and I actually ended up uninstalling and then reinstalling. Guessing that I was at 2014.0.0, but now I have 2014.0.1. Since doing that, I haven't experienced the crashes. And, yes, it was with merged clips.
HOWEVER, I still can't target audio only and insert/overwrite merged clips without jumping through a couple hoops. Works fine if I'm targeting video only with merged clips, or if I'm targeting audio only with any kind of clip (merged or non-merged). But audio only with merged? No deal.
In order to make that work, I have to go to the merged clip in the project window, select Modify, and then futz with the the audio channels. See screen shot below. Audio tracks 1 and 2 are from my DSLR. Tracks 3 and 4 are my "good" audio. Is this something that I should need to do for each merged clip to make them work?
