Export sections of timeline...

Hello,
Is there a way to export specific sections of a timeline? For eg., with a 1 hr movie, I would like to export different sections or clips, to an avi file (unless there is a better suggested file type) to use in other video timelines.
I tried selecting the section with the rendering perimeters, but it exported the entire timeline..
Thanks,

P.S. Is there a best file choice to do this, or is .avi as good as any??
First, the question must be asked, "what do I need to do with the output file?"
That answer will likely dictate the choice of format/CODEC.
Though written for PrPro (more choices, and some other differences), this article will give you some tips on making the choices: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/878590?tstart=0
Good luck, and hope that helps.

Exporting sections of the timeline

I want to export sections of the timeline in DV format to be later reopened in iDVD to create chapters.
What should I do?
- Anthony

Anthony,
First, select the clip or series of clips you wish to export.
Now choose File>Share>QuickTime and select Full Quality from the dropdown menu.
Last, and most importantly, check the "Share selected clips only" check box.
Click Share and you'll have your DV clip.

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message

When I export from the timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, I get a general error message and the export quits. Any ideas on a fix?

Also, if I remember correctly, Final Cut Pro HD was version 4.5. Is this what you are running?
If so, what version of OSX and Quicktime are you running?

Exporting clip from timeline as QT movie

Hi all
Is there an easy way to export as a QT movie a clip (or series of clips, 'mixed') to a QT movie with the same format as the timeline for easy re-importing? I often find myself wanting to export a group of clips (with matte, text or effects, perhaps) and then re-import it as one easy to manage clip. A kind of 'bounce selected clips to disk'kind of deal. I know I can export the whole timeline, but I often want to export just a bit of the timeline.
I hope that makes sense
Regards
Stephen

Absolutely. It is a basic function and I use it all the time.
Export a Quicktime Movie (first option in the list) making it self contained and using the sequence settings. You will end up with a clip that is independant and has the same settings as your sequence...no loss in quality whatsoever.

Can't export sections of audio

I can't figure this one out. All of a sudden I cannot export sections of a mix using the work area. I open an older mix and it works fine. The newer one the work area is a bit grayed out.
When I export it exports the whole mix. I don't want this.

hi.
how do you mean 'the work area' ?
do you mean in a multitrack project or in an audio project?
I have never been able to export a section of a track - only a full track at once, so I'm not sure how you were achieving this?!?
sorry I can't be of more help to you

Exporting sections of a timeline

Using Premiere Pro 5.5:
I am editing several days worth of classroom instruction. I am making clips of examples of the instruction techniques used by the instructor, and not the actual class memebers participation. As such, I am only capturing and rendering for final output snips of the instructor's comments and coaching.
Is there a way to highlight a section of the timeline video and export just that selection of the timeline, without having to notate the time code in and out points?
I have been making a note of the time code at the In and Out points, selecting the File>Export... command, then chosing the "custom" choice in the dropdown box and manually entering the time code to get the selection I'd like to export to a final file.
Is there a better way to do this in 5.5?
Many thanks!

Yes, that little WAB is a "hidden gem," IMHO. I use some aspect of it, almost daily. Now, if there WAS a way to completely restore the "auto expand" function, after it has been adjusted. Maybe time for another Feature Request?
I look at my wife's iPad, and her iPhone, and can tell that they do not like me - even when they are turned off.
One day, I will start thinking X-platform better, and mention Mac & PC keystrokes, like good authors do. I am just so danged PC-centric, that I too often forget my Mac-brothers, across the street.
Good luck,

Import and Export sections of material present in the Timeline

Hi,
I know it is possible with Premiere EL 11 to import and export titles.
I have an existing movie and am working on a new one. I wish to utilize part of what I created on the previous movie. Is it possible to copy part of the old movie and paste it into my new project being a different file? If yes, how to?
If not, then I start understanding why they sell EL for.
Thank you

If you wish to move the elements in the Timeline, separate, then you will need a ClipBoard Extender app., like ClipMate, to Copy the desired Clips, Titles, etc., then Open a different Project move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired location, and Paste. You cannot do that, without a Clipboard Extender.
If you are using the WAB (Work Area Bar) to Export/Share a portion of the Timeline, you will NOT get the separate elements, i.e. Clips, Titles, etc., but an AV file, with those written to the new, output file. Editing that output file will be tougher, as the elements are now all combined, and all Handles in Clips, etc., will not be included. If one goes that route, then MPEG would not be my choice, and I would go with one of the suggestions in this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4556586#4556586
Remember, with that output method, the Clips (Audio & Video) will NOT have any Handles, and Titles will be burned in.
From your comments, I think that you want the ClipMate (or similar) workflow.
Good luck,

Auto Exporting Sections of a timeline

Newbie to FCP. I've been given a single timeline with 50 x 3 minute clips that required minimal editing. The editing is now complete. Is there a way to export the shortened clips back out automatically? or do I need to manually set an in and out and export a clip at a time? Any advice?

Well if you just want to export a bunch of trimmed clips according to their timeline duration then you can use Media Manager to do it in one quick go ... select the Sequence, choose File > Media Manager, set it to "Copy", uncheck "Include master clips outside selection", check "Delete unused media from duplicated items", select a Media Destination, and click OK ... but if you have "edited" the clips in other ways, changing motion properties, adding filters etc or if you don't actually mean you want to export clips but rather clip sequences then you'll need to handle the export somewhat more manually as already suggested.

Exporting Portions of Timeline to .swf

Is there a way to export specified portions of the time line? I'd like to be able to just specify a frame range and output it as an .swf? If not, do you know of any software that would allow me to slice up my .swfs into smaller segments?
Thanks.

Another option and perhaps an easier one would be to simply copy the frames you want and paste them into a new .fla and publish the .swf from there.
To copy, select the first frame, hold down the "shift" key and select the bottom layer of the last frame... and right click to "copy frames". Open a new doc, set dimensions same as original, go to first frame and "paste frames". Now you have that section as it's own .fla/.swf.
You may have to insert some extra key frames (at the start of the timeline section you want to export),
The reverse of this method is often used to build larger, more complex projects..... a section of frames is build and tested as a separate .fla and .swf. Then once finished, those working frames are copy/pasted into the larger project.

Export sections to Excel as individual tabs

Hi,
My report is sectioned for e.g by Area. Is there any way I can export this to excel as separate tabs i.e. a tab for each area?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Aoife

This question comes up quite often (hint, hint, SAP moderators), but alas, the answer is "no". Within WebI and exporting to Excel, all tabs go across, unless you use "CSV" option in Infoview, but that is best left for another discussion. If you poke around a bit in the Desktop client, I've heard of folks using VB script (or is that Visual Basic script?) and writing some code to generate a new Excel worksheet for each tab encountered, but it is not possible in WebI due to it not being a client tool -- it's a web tool....
Thanks,
John

Export section of data from ASO

Is there a way to export only a certain portion of data from an ASO cube?
There is an export function in the console, but it exports all level 0 data. For example, I'd like to export just all the January 2007 level 0 data.
Thanks!

I was trying to export a section of data so that I could change it to #Missing and re-upload to "erase" those intersections. I wrote report scripts but the data sets were too large and were taking hours to render.
After much researching, I came up with a simple solution. The data that I was needing to change to #missing was always time-related. For example, I needed to delete all the data for Week 32 in 2008. To accomplish this I simply deleted Week 32 out of the time dimension, the re-added it after the restructure of the data. Data cleared!

Exports differing from timeline/weird stuff

Hi everyone.
A couple of weird little problems going on here that I thought you may have bumped into. We're running FCP 7, AJA Kona LHi cards for I/O, snow leopard.
It is an education institution technically so the machines do get a fair bit of use, but I've checked all usual sequence settings, trash prefs etc..
We're running into multiple problems: clips suddenly having time-code generator filters applied to them out of nowhere (not all clips in timeline), crossfades applied to almost all clips on the timeline (this couldn't be a user error selecting all and hitting command + T since some don't have fades even though there are handles) and most annoyingly, exports differing from the timeline. For instance, I applied a blur to a duplicate of a clip, matted it out to only affect a certain area of the clip. On export, there is a quick grey flash and then the brightness of the whole image drops for one frame. Doesn't do it in the timeline.
We're also experiencing tiny little zooms at the beginning and end of frames on some exports. We think we might have this one solved as it's only happening on footage shot on the Panasonic AG-AF101 which was transferred straight into ProRes without going natively to AVC first, which has resulted in some strange interlacing problems compared with 5D footage in the same timeline, also transcoded to the same ProRes settings. We rendered everything to ProRes LT then exported and this seems to have got rid of it.
ANYWAY, sorry for such a long post but I just wondered if anyone has seen stuff like this, bearing in mind that we're always working with the correct sequence settings with decent editing codecs (usuallly prores), and if anyone has any tips..
Cheers!
Kit

This is months later, I know, but I'm wondering if people are still having problems with this.
I'm shooting on the ag af-101 and transfering the folder in it's entirety to a hard drive, then logging and transfering into final cut 7. Pro res 422.
What I'm getting is, I think, what a previous contributor mentioned - a strange strobing or what I would call a juddering on some footage.
It seems to be on pans and reveals but also on movement of characters within a motionless frame.
It's possible it has something to do with the camera but it seems more likely to be a final cut issue.
Any thoughts?

Jitter problem after burning DVD from avi or mpeg2 that was exported from original timeline edit

When burning a DVD directly from the timeline in Elements 7, there is usually no problem, however, when first exporting it to an .avi or .mpeg2 file, and then putting that new file back into the timeline, and then burning that new file to a DVD, there is jitter or "strobing" when the subject in the video moves (when playing the DVD).
It's not an install, or re-install issue, because before I started with this new computer, the exact same thing happened with the last computer I was using.
Thanks.

Les,
I do not know the newer Pinnacle Studio products, but going back to 8 and 9, through 9.4.3, the workflow was based on DV-AVI, just like PrE is. Pinnacle might have changed over to MPEG-2 in later versions, but I just do not know, as I have not seen a version, since Studio 10 hit was such a disaster.
One of the problems when working from DVD-Video material is that it has already been compressed to MPEG-2, loosing a good bit of data, and also converting the material to GOP (Group of Pictures), so that individual Frames are not present any longer. This precludes Frame-accurate editing, unless that compressed material is converted to all I-frame. See this ARTICLE for some background on GOP. Then, upon Burn to Disk, that I-frame material is once more compressed (again) to MPEG-2 and GOP for use in a VOB container. This WILL cause degradation of the image, most noticeable where there is motion, either subject, or camera motion. Some NLE's offer what is referred to as "Smart Rendering." This can help in some areas. For portions of the footage, where no changes have been made, beyond just cuts, the material will NOT be Transcoded again to MPEG-2, but will be used, as-is. Note: add a Transition, or a Title, or a PiP, or any Effect, and that footage WILL be Transcoded, so the Smart Rendering aspect will be moot. Sony's Vegas has been recommended for Smart Rendering, but I have never used it. This might be worth investigating. Also, if Pinnacle Studio is working fine, you might want to consider using that program. I have 5 different NLE's on my workstation, and use each for specialized situations, though the vast majority of my editing is done in PrPro.
Regarding the existing DVD-Videos, much depends of the source. PrE can Import and work with 100% DVD-compliant (very important) VOB's. Unfortunately, most DVR's do not create 100% DVD-compliant discs. This is most often manifested in the first VOB, which will contain any Menus and navigation. This ARTICLE will give you some background on VOB's, which are Video Object "containers."
As you point out, there can be issues with the resulting MPEG-2, as it will span part of VOB 1, and then all remaining VOB's. With 100% DVD-compliant VOB's, there will be a perfect flow in the MPEG-2 that spans the multiple VOB's. When the VOB's are not 100% DVD-compliant, issues can arise.
Considering your DVR, it is likely that ripping is going to be the best workflow, as that will strip out the other material in the first VOB and should then gather the data for the spanned MPEG-2. The ultimate rip will be to a DV-AVI Type II file w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. This is an older FAQ Entry from the Encore Forum, on ripping, but might have some useful tips. Note: this was for getting material from a DVD-Video for authoring to a new DVD in Encore, and not editing.
For non-commercial DVD-Video editing, I will use an A-D bridge and my DVD deck, and capture to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio, and Import the resulting files into PrPro/PrE. This is exactly the same workflow that I use, with analog material, like VHS.
Also note that PrPro, a US$900 program did not get VOB Importing until CS4.2 (current version), while PrE has had it for some time now. Also, PrPro is a DV-AVI-based, I-frame, program, just like PrE, so no "Smart Rendering" there either. Same exact issues exist in "big-brother," PrPro.
Most of all, good luck,
Hunt

Export section content to report or ms word doc?

All,
Hopefully a quick and simple yes/no question. Is there a way to export just the contents of a set of sections to a word doc or some type of report?
We created a large set of sections that are unique customer contract languages. The CAT/UAT team wants to be able to validate the content w/o having to create all the test scenarios to generate them in the system.
thanks!

There are a couple of command line utilities that you might want to consider: FAP2PDF and FAP2RTF
These utilities support using wildcards to convert a set of FAP files into PDF or RTF files.
You can find information about these tools in the Utilities Reference or just run the programs with no parameters in a DOS box.

CS5: Export HDV 720p30 Timeline to HDV MPG File

Hi-
Hopefully a simple question. I want to export my HDV 720p30 timeline to a file without introducing any additional compression (or very minimal). In searching for a solution, I read that you can connect an HDV deck, select output to tape, let the sequence render, and then search for a MPG file in the cache that's essentially the rendered sequence's HDV MPG file. Since I don't have an HDV deck anymore, is there an easier way? Should I just export MPG with the highest quality settings? What specifically should I choose? Ideally, I'd like to be able to just drag this 'edited master sequence'' back into the timeline as a 'raw' HDV 720p30 source file down the road. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Colin-
Thanks. I do understand the additional level of compression. Even though the sequences are only a few minutes each, I don't think it's worth dealing with the huge file sizes, etc. I was just looking for the 'ideal' way to backup the master sequence - something the most equivalent to providing 'an edited master' via HDV tape.
I suppose I could have used an intermediary codec like Cineform, but it's really not worth it. What would be a good alternate (or less compressed) alternative?
