Editing raw video and 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!

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.

How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.
thanks, ralph

Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!

Hi Ralph:
You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
and split it after you split the video and be sure to
keep the playhead in the same position.

Can't see iPhoto pics that are edited in PS and saved back to iPhoto

Photos that are edited in Photoshop and saved back into iPhoto don't show up in the iPhoto window. Only the originals show up. When I do a search, I see that they are saved in a "modified" folder inside iPhoto. How can I see them in the iPhoto window? I would like to "trash" some of them. Can I just drag them to the trash from the "modified" folder or will that foul up the iPhoto database?

Maybe this will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

How do I send raw video and audio data to FMLE?

Hi,
I have raw video and audio data on CPU memory.
How do I send them to FMLE?
Is there sample code or SDK?
Thanks for your answer.

Hi, Burzuc.
Raw video and audio data are from a video capture board like Blackmagic Design's DeckLink or other's.
I want to stream them after some processing by my application.
Regards.

I was almost finished editing my video and suddenly my video files just show a black screen and wont play.

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

What steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

What Steps do I take to edit raw files and save for web use, such as Instagram, Facebook, Websites, and emailing?

When you open a raw file it will open in Adobe camera raw. That is where you can do most of the editing. Then it will be placed inside Photoshop where you can do more if needed.
Now you can use the save for web dialog to export your image as a png or jpg to use on those sites.

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.

Cutting and saving individual video and audio files from a clip

I have to cut 201 individual video and audio files for separate scenes from an 11-minute animated episode and save them as separate MP4 video and MP3 audio files. What is the most efficient way to do this?

Without knowing more about your project, it's hard to even guess at the most efficient workflow.
Like: Do these clips have audio or are you adding it? What format are these clips? What is the intended delivery for the 11 minute movie?
As a general matter, one creates an event, imports clips to it. Then organizes the clips according to the needs of job, using keyword collections and ratings. Then creates a project and starts a rough cut by marking ranges in the event browser and editing to the time line. Some people start with the music, making that the primary storyline mark where they want the edit to be and cut to that.
Upon finishing, one can choose one or more of the "destination" presets. It's possible to export Audio only or Video only or both. MP3 is one of the audio choices. Some of the presets are MP4. If you want possibly better quality and more control, export the files as master files and encode in Compressor.
Good luck.

No changes appear when batch editing Camera Raw Files and saving as jpegs

When I batch edit my raw files, including saving the file as a jpeg, from bridge or photoshop the resulting file saved never includes any changes I made in the Camera Raw editor. For example if I have lightened the photo by changing the exposure in Camera Raw as a saved jpeg after batching the file is still as dark as when originally shot. Is there some little box I forgot to check or something? Thanks!
andy

I've seen something like this, but have not figured out why yet. In my situation I select a group of images in Bridge and go to Tools / Photoshop / Image Processor.
There I click the "open first image to apply settings" box.
Save in Same Location
Save as JPEG, resize to fit (1200 pixels), Convert Profile to sRGB.
No Action selected
Include ICC Profile
Run it and in Camera Raw roll the saturation down to -100 (convert to b&W).
Click "Open Image"
The process runs and the first image is converted to b&w, but the others are not.

How to ripple delete a clip that has been broken out to individual items. (video and dual mono clips)

I have several hours video with dual mono audio tracks that I want to adjust volume etc descretly. I know I can "break apart clip items" to adjust each audio channel separately. But, after breaking apart the clip items, is there a way to ripple delete a section of video and both audio tracks at once? I have tried selecting and deleting but can only delete one "track" at a time. I have assembled them into a compound clip and cut out a selection, but, after a couple of cuts, the I got phantom audio playing way out of sync. I have tried using the blade tool, but, when I make the cut(s), the second audio channel slides up to "track one"... Any help would be appreciated.

glad that worked out for you. Yes trace is your friend.
BTW you need to use the array notation for everything and it is generally not such a great idea to use _root -- just in case you later load content into another swf the _root will change.
So if this were me....
var sp:ScrollPane=quiltpane
var myContent:MovieClip=sp.spContentHolder.quilt;
And then later
myContent["square"+loopcount];
Easier to read, easier to type. You can give those different names that are more meaningful for you. Also you will get code hinting since the variables are typed -- you won't get that with the array notation. You could even do something like:
for(var loopcount=0;i<numSquares;i++){
var curSquare:MovieClip=myContent["square"+loopcount];
curSquare._alpha=blah blah
blah blah blah.

Saving Individual Clips in Premiere Elements 11

Hi all -
In Adobe Premiere Elements 11, after cutting a large video clip into many smaller clips and then renaming them, how do you go about saving each individual clip, so I can easily edit them? I feel like I've looked everywhere and can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!!
Jerry

Jerry
My first impression is cannot do. But, let me think about this.
Two major tasks...
a. Even if we could get the "grouped" video/audio into Project Assets with a copy/paste insert with ClipMate
then the next challenge would be
b. How do we get the Preview Window with the Set In and Set Out points to deal with a grouped rather than linked video audio. It will not do that when the grouped video and audio are on the Timeline....we could do non Preview Window trimming at the Timeline level
Think it worthwhile to download ClipMate to see how far we would get for this purpose of
a. generating segments of grouped video and audio?
b. pasting them into Project Assets where they would function as source media in or out of folders there?
I suspect this is going to go the old fashion way of exporting the segments to a file saved to the computer hard drive and then bringing those segments back into a grand project for the final export..
ClipMate, I believe, is a Windows only program. What computer operating system are you running your Premiere Elements 11 on?
More later.

Support for RAW Video and Image Sequences

Being a stills photographer who moved into video some years back, I'm very interested in the direction Lightroom is going with regards to video support. I haven't tried it yet but I wondered if LR4 supports Red R3D files? And would it perhaps support other future RAW video formats from the likes of Canon and Sony? It would seem like the perfect application, perhaps intergrating with Premiere in a similar way to RedCine with FCP. Be great to be able to log footage, orginize it into bins and do basic colour correction in LR, edit the project in Premiere and re-touch in After Effects.
Another task LR would seem ideally suited to is combining image sequences into timelapse video. Shooting timelapse as an image sequence on a DSLR is pretty much standard practice these days; and I've used LR to colour correct, crop and scale my sequences (before fitting them together in Quicktime) for years now. It would be fantastic to be able to preview the clip and export the video (as DPX, ProRes or DNxHD) from within Lightroom.
These are obviously fairly long term wishes. In the short term though, the video features are pretty much useless to me without support for exporting ProRes and DNxHD files. With this LR becomes a powerful asset manager that could be used to collect together footage from multiple sources/codecs and transcode it all for editing. As mentioned in a previous thred, XML support would make it even more useful in this context. There is definitly a gap in the market for an application than can handle this kind of task well.
With other manufactures floundering or neglecting their professional user base, Adobe would seem poised to take the video post crown. I wonder if Lightroom could be part of the takeover?

As I understand it Andy, its intention is to remain a photographers program, not a videographers program. The basic video features are available for lightweight management of videos coming from digital cameras, but it's not going too much further than that at this point in time. Of course that may change in the future, but we'll all have to wait and see on that one.

Saving Individual Clips onto a DVD R

I am VERY new to the Mac world. From what I understand is that you can archive your videos without putting them into the iMovie Event library (so it doesnt slow down iMovie).
What I want is to have a backup copy of ALL my clips that are currently on iMovie ONTO A DVD R. Can anyone help me out on how to do this? I just want to have the video clips on a DVD R as an extra backup copy.

Welcome to Macs!
Be sure to take advantage of all the appropriate Apple tutorials for the applications you want to use. You can find them on Apple's Support site. Search for each one, do the tutorial and you will begin to feel more comfortable using your Mac's apps.
Do you mean to have archive DVD disks to retrieve your iMovie videos when you insert the DVDs into your computer, so that you can edit them?
Or, do you mean to have a DVD of videos that will play in a set-top DVD player?
If you just want to store your videos as archives, follow the instructions in Mac Help, under 'Burning your own CDs or DVDs,' and select the topic "Burning a CD or DVD" which will tell you how to burn a back up DVD.
If you have your iMovie already in an iDVD project, but want to archive it to work on it at a later time, ot move it to another computer or drive with all its project media, follow these instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6723.html
Or, if you are completely finished with editing your iMovie and have put it into an iDVD project and either already burned a DVD disk, or are ready to, create a disk image file of your iDVD project from within iDVD. Just select "Save as disk image file" and the process will begin. It looks like the burn process and will take just as long, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk.
The advantages of the disk image file are that it is usually smaller than the media used in it, it is self-contained, and it can be moved to another drive or computer. It is a backup of an iDVD project, and you can burn DVD disks from it using Disk Utility, even after deleting the original projects, since, unlike iDVD, all the media is actually encoded within the disk image file itself. Saving just the dif will save drive space, since you won't need to save the original iDVD projects and all the media used in them.

Edited RAW files not saving as TIFF's or JPG's

I thought working with RAW files in iPhoto 08 worked the same as it did in 06. I have lots of Nikon RAW (NEF) files from my 06 library that used to change to a JPG as soon as I finished editing them in iPhoto 06 or a tiff if I had that option selected in preferences. The RAW badge would go away and I would then see a JPG in my library.
None of this happens in 08. I edit a RAW file, the changes look to be saved when I move to the next photo, but the RAW file remains with the RAW badge still showing. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
Thanks
Joshua

I also noticed something else and it looks like this issue is not only with RAW but JPG files as well. It seems like iPhoto is not finalizing the edit and saving the file. Even after closing the program you can return to those edited photos in edit mode and they look as if they are still in the middle of being edited. The level sliders still show the highlighted movement you made to them and you can still hit the shift key and see the before and after. So it seems like it's holding the changes made to the file but not following through and finalizing the changes and saving the file.
