Export clips of a longer video

I imagine this is a very simple task with a simple solution but I cannot seem to find it ...
All I wish to do is take a large video (50 minutes long) and export small clips of this large video into separate files. I have split the clips how I would like to see them in the project library, but when I got to export It wants to export all the clips as one video file, and I can't find any other options.
How can I just export a segment of the video?
Thanks

There are two ways to do this, depending on where you start.
1. Make separate projects. Drag the short clips you want from in event into a new project.
2. If your clips are already in a 50 minute project, go to the Project Library view. Right click on the Project name and select "Duplicate". Repeat as many times as you need. You can give these duplicates new names if you want. Then delete the portions you don't need, so that only the clips you want remain.

  • What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

    Hi!
       I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
    FPS 23.98
    1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
    16 bit,
    2 channels
    48000 Hz
       What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
                 When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
    But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
    I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
    Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
    I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
    What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
    What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
    What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
    Thank You!

    On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

    It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
    Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
    This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
    A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
    In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
    Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
    I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
    Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
    I posted the link before but here it is:

  • Exporting one section within a long video clip

    Hi. I would like to work with a 2 minute section from a long video clip. One way to do it would be to import just that section into iMovie from the camcorder. But is there any way to accomplish this with a clip that has already been imported? In other words, can I take a section of a clip in iMovie and save it as a separate clip (or sub clip) that could then be edited, copied, exported or whatever? I am using iMovie 3.
    Thanks.

    Hi Howard
    Yes there is some ways.
    I would cut up the clip to get the required part.
    Export this as DVstream via QuickTime expert mode - start a new iMovie project and import.
    OR rather beeing lazy. I would export out neede part to my Camera and a new tape.
    Use this tape in a new project

  • Split long video into small 15 second clips

    Hi, I have a long video (7 minutes) I would like to upload to Instagram. Since they only takes 15 second clip, I would like to split my video into small clips. How can do it easily with iMovie?
    Thanks,
    fireman

    First, you may not need to spit the event clips at all. You can select short bits of the long event clip and drag it into your project as you wish.
    Having said that, there are good reasons to split event clips. For example, the 75 minute movie may contain many logical events that you wish to split out by date. In this case, iMovie 11 can do it, but I would not recommend it. It is a slow process and is prone to error.
    I would recomment that you use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared Five (google it).
    To use MPEG Streamclip, drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip.
    Then, move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then, FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME (or FILE/EXPORT TO DV if it is DV). Then repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
    If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
    (let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
    When finished splitting your long clip, import into iMovie by using FILE/IMPORT...MOVIE

  • I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation.  However, many of the video clips are too long to email.  Is there anyway to compress the video clips and still email them so they can view

    I am trying to use my IPAD to video students in my conducting class, then email them the video for self evaluation.  However, many of the clips are too long to send.  Is there a way I can compress the clips and still send them via email so they can open and them using Quicken?
    Muzakmn

    It depends on the clips' content, their current format, and how much you would need to compress them, but in most cases and with most email systems, it's difficult to impossible to compress a clip enough to be able to get it through the attachment size limits of most email providers and still have the video be comprehensible. You'll probably need to find a web site or other method where you could post the videos for download by the students.
    You can try compression and trimming, though, and see if you can get the video small enough to email. An attachment often has to be 3MB or less to go through, though it depends entirely on the email systems on both ends. If you look to the right under "more like this" you'll find similar threads on the subject.

  • I want to export all the screen text in a long video to a text doc

    I want to export all the screen text in a long video to a text document. Is there a way to do that without copying and pasting each item?

    Fortunately, I still have the project ready at hand, so I can cut and paste each text window from there, but I do admire the creativity of your approach. I thought about making the desired document as a collection of still images without the video track removed, but I decided that would be too cumbersome for this purpose.
    It still seems to me that there ought to be a way to access the text resident in FCP and turn it into a text file, but maybe this will have to written into the program as a feature. Probably, it would not be a high priority among all the other tasks on the wish list.
    Thanks for your help. If I learn something interesting, I will post it for the benefit of others who might want do what I want to do now. Off I go now to cut and paste!

  • Please help me with this urgent viewing and editing question for a long video clip.

    Hi, I have never used this software before and when I imported a 2 hours and 12 minute video clip of my sister's wedding into the system and added it as one sequence into the program it would only allow me to watch and edit the first 2 minutes.
    Why is that and how can I rectify this so that I can watch and edit the whole clip?
    Also, can such a long video clip be edited by trimming it and creating transitions where I see fit?
    Thanks so much for your advice as I am feeling really stuck right now.

    I would suggest that you go to iMovie/Preferences and make sure that Advanced Tools are enabled.

  • Importing tape into Imovie 11. How do I import all the clips as one long clip?

    How do I import all the clips as one long clip? I have 45 min of footage and I want it as one long take I can edit in Final Cut ProX. When I import, all the clips are split up when the scene cuts. I just want the 45 min in one long video.

    iMovie will import the tape as if it is direct from the camera. It will sense the scene breaks and put all the clips in chronological order.
    If you want to import it as one long clip, I suggest you load the tape into the app that you edited the tape with. Then export it out as a QuickTime movie in the DV codec. You can import this MOV file into FCPX or iMovie.

  • Why is file size of exported clip so large?

    I have a movie clip in MPEG-4 format, 3 minutes in duration, 720x400. I ripped it (using Handbrake) from a DVD I own. Let's call this clip Clip A. I wanted it to be smaller, so I used Quicktime Pro 6.5.2 to export it. Let's call the exported clip Clip AE (E for exported). Clip AE has these properties:
    Compression: Sorenson Video 3
    Quality: High
    Frame rate: 15
    Width x Height: 310 x 200
    Sound format: QDesign Music 2
    Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
    Channels: Mono
    File Size: 5.5 MB
    Great. That's just what I wanted. Now I go to a second movie clip I have in MPEG-4 format. This Clip B is only 90 seconds in duration, 720x400. I export it to Clip BE. Clip BE has these properties:
    Compression: Sorenson Video 3
    Quality: High
    Frame rate: 15
    Width x Height: 310 x 200
    Sound format: QDesign Music 2
    Sample rate: 22,050 kHz
    Channels: Mono
    FILE SIZE: 25.8 MB
    In both exports I set the Key Frame Rate and Data Rate to automatic. So, everything is the same except Clip BE, which is half as long in duration as Clip AE, is 5 times larger in file size.
    I'm no expert at using QT Pro, but this result just does not make sense to me. Why is the second exported clip 5 times larger than the first one. I wanted to email both of them to my wife at work as a little surprise, but the second one is way too big for my email account. How can I get the file size of that second clip down to the size of the first one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    iMac G5, iBook (dual USB) G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The second clip probably has more detail or motion than the first.
    Open Clip AE and choose "Get Info." Note the data rate of the video.
    Now export clip B again, but instead of setting the data rate to automatic, set it to the same number as Clip AE's data rate.
    You will lose video quality, but the file should come out smaller.

  • How to Choose File format of Exported Clip

    I needed a clip from my movie for use in Live Type so I created Sub Clip from a longer duration clip and then exported it as QT movie. Or I thought I was doing that but the only choice of format I was given was .dv. How do you choose .mov or other format from the Export to QT menu choice?

    Hi(Bonjour)
    Set in and out points in timeline (after your subclip was placed in it).
    Choose export to quicktime with conversion. Select mov, and under video, select animation codec.

  • Best workflow for exporting clips

    Hello.
    I have an hour long video that needs to be cut and exported as 40 individual QT movies. What is the best way to do this? I have set markers at all the points that need to be cut. How can I highlight between markers and then export that area as an individual clip.
    Thanks in advance

    By setting the work area and only exporting the work area instead of the sequence.

  • Exporting 600MB results in jumpy video

    When I export a largish video (7 minutes), I get a jumpy .mov file. The audio is fine. Only the video is jumpy. And I have a high-power system.
    I've been using these expert export settings for a while, but up to now all my videos have been under 2 minutes in length. This one is 7 minutes long. Based on the export lengths of previous videos, this should export to a 600MB .mov.
    I have a top-of-the-line computer, a new MacBook Pro, 2GB RAM. My DV file is on the internal hard disk, and I'm exporting to an external 500GB 7000RPM LaCie drive via Firewire.
    I'm exporting a 7 minute widescreen video to 640x360 using H.264 at 24 key fps. I've tried both 1700 kps and automatic rate (high quality). I'm de-interlacing and allowing re-ordering.
    I can export a few clips at a time just fine, but when I try to export the whole thing it seems to quit early, the entire video is represented, just with frames that are shown for much longer than they should be. Ten minutes into the export it'll say "24 minutes remaining," and then a minute later it'll be done.
    I do have a still frame in there that I'm playing for 10 seconds, but I was able to export that along with the adjacent clips with no problem. When I go to export to iPod, I get a new dialog screen saying it first needs to render my "still/slow motion/reverse" clips. I don't get that exporting via expert settings.
    Any suggestions on how I fix this? (I've rebooted, updated the OS, etc.) Is there a work-around? Maybe multiple exports, but then I'd have to concatenate them together for yet another export and further reduced image quality.
    Thank you!
    ~joe

    More information: That still frame was causing the problem! But I don't know why, and I still need it in there.
    I tried shrinking the video dimensions down to nothing and reducing image quality, but none of it eliminated the jumpiness of the video.
    But when I removed that 10 second clip I made from a still frame, suddenly the export came out clean.
    I'm going to close this thread and open a new one asking how I play a still frame. Thanks!

  • Trouble exporting/sharing part of the video

    I do:
    create a new iMovie project,
    select and copy part of a video clip from the Event Browser (e.g. 30 seconds -long piece out of 3 minutes -long video),
    paste that piece into the created project,
    Share --> Export Movie, or Share --> YouTube (or whatever).
    The problem:
    The whole original video is exported or published on YouTube instead of the small piece of it which I have selected and put into the project.
    If I play the copied/pasted fragment inside the project, it has the duration which I need.
    Also (that is likely an obvious consequence of the first problem), the audio/video edits I do on the selected video fragment in the project do not end up in the exported/published video.
    It looks like iMovie simply takes the original video from the Event Browser and exports/publishes it, bypassing the project altogether.
    Either I am doing something wrong, or this is a bug.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    update:
    the problem with keeping various Adjustments and edits in the exported/shared video (e.g. clip trims, equalizer adjustments, etc.) may be an intermittent one.
    I suspect, it is related to working with "iPhoto Videos".
    if you have encountered the same problem as described above, please share your experience.

  • Exporting Clips from Movie help

    Hello,
    I have a long video footage and I marked in and out points of multiple areas where I want a clip to be exported from. How do I get final cut to export each section that I marked as its own clip instead of me sitting through it all and manually exporting each part?

    After you mark the in and out choose "MARK > SELECT IN TO OUT" from the FCP MENU BAR.
    then export what ever flavor you like.
