Export trimmed clip without encoding?

I would like to trim an H.264 Mp4 (10.04Mbps) 18min clip to 5 mins. No "editting" just trim the clip and export it fast.
But even if I match the setting in Compressor, it wants to take 10-20 minutes to export the 5 minute clip.
What am i doing wrong? Can Compressor do this?

Funny you should meantion that. Before I left work today, i checked if i could trim without encoding on all the mac's ... it turns out I could not trim the clip without re-encoding on QT X (10.1) OS Lion 10.7. Mind you the encoding time for the 5 minute was quicker then it took orginally with Compressor... all the other machines have OS10.6, i was able to trim without encoding, just save as and poof, file made.

  • Exporting trimmed clips

    Hi, how do I export a trimmed clip from a Premiere Elements project to another project or just to a folder on the hard drive? I have about 10 hours of raw footage (from a number of contributors) for a community video. I've captured it all on my 1.5 terrabyte external drive in one project. I would like to trim clips in that project before using them in the final edit, but I would like to create a separate project on another drive for the final edit. Hence the need to export trimmed clips. I think the huge volume of raw footage in the edit would be slow-loading and likely to freeze the computer. The raw footage is in .avi format. I have Premiere Elements 3, I'm using Windows XP-SP3, 3gb RAM 3.06gHz hyperthreading, Intel integrated graphics. Would be grateful for some advice.

    Once you've trimmed your clip on your timeline, use Share/Computer to output the trimmed video.
    For standard definition video, use Share/Computer/AVI with the appropriate DV preset.
    For high-definition video, use Share/Computer/MPEG with the 1440x1080 30i (25i PAL) preset.
    If you'd like to know more about the basics of the program, check out my free 8 part Basic Training tutorial series on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com.

  • Exporting multiple clips to Media Encoder

    Hi there,
    I need to export multiple clips from Premiere Pro CS4 to Media Encoder (so I can work with the footage at a lower resolution then replace with the original clips).
    Currently I am exporting each clip individually, which is very time consuming as I have hundreds of clips.
    Is there a way to export all the clips simultaneously?
    Thanks!

    As individual clips?  No.
    You might try using a Watch Folder in Adobe Media Encoder.  The Help file should have the details.
    However, the best solution is to upgrade your hardware so that the native media works without issue.

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • "Export Movie" exports original, non-trimmed clip! Help!

    Hello everyone. I'm using iMovie '11, and trying to make a series of videos.
    I have taken clips imported from iPhoto, dragged them to create new projects, then used the "clip trimmer" tool to cut off the beginning and ends of the clip.
    So here's the problem. When I "Export using QuickTime" and select MPEG-4 and various settings, I get the video as I edited it.
    However, when I use "Export Movie" and select 720p, the result file uses the entire non-trimmed clip.
    This makes my HD videos unusable. Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Bumping this in the hopes someone has an answer.
    I've tried exporting other video sizes, and it appears this only happens with 720p. This is the size of the original recording, which possibly holds a clue. But I still need it fixed!

  • Cannot export to movie without media encoder!

    Past workflow has involved exporting an avi to a watch folder. With CS4 I cannot export an avi without using the media encoder. I see no problem with using the encoder to do the work, but there are instances when I would want to export "same as source."
    Pre-rendered elements
    Export edited segments to other edit suites
    Utilize a second computer system to do the encoding
    Use other encoding software
    It is much slower to export an avi using the media encoder rather than the export > movie route of the previous cs versions. For example, I edited a 3 minute video on cs4 and it took 11 minutes to export as an avi. It actually took even longer (up to 20) to use encore's transcode settings to encode for dvd.
    I ran a test on cs2 with a 30 second spot. It took about 15 seconds to export the avi and another 15 seconds to encode as mpeg2 using a 3rd party encoder.
    I have a project coming up that has an extremely tight deadline. I will be editing hour long programs and exporting them for dvd. If I am to use cs4 I will have all kinds of time problems, not to mention I can't do this on multiple computers for processing (1 for editing, 1 for encoding, 1 for authoring). Just to estimate: In CS2 it will take 1 hour to export and encode the video, and up to 7 hours to encode if I were to use cs4.
    Are there any solutions to the mandatory media encoder process of cs4?

    Media encoder sucks! It's slow and buggy. And it crashes 5 times at 10. The performance of Premiere CS4 on a top notch workstation is 60% slower than working with Premiere Pro 2. Media's batch feature is a failure unlike Premiere 5.5 - 6.0 ver (i think)
    my dear Adobe
    Why not try listening to pro users suggesting handy features and instead of getting so anxious eliminating your competitors (FCP) and launching buggy and expensive software? This ain't gonna last for long, you know!
    I think if I simulate OS X and run FCP, will work faster than CS4 (have to test it)

  • How can I export trimmed video clips from iPhoto?

    I have video clips from a kid's sporting event that I need to send to other parents on the team. I've got 73 clips that have been loaded from an SD card, and I've trimmed the length on about half of them.
    I'm trying to figure out the best way to export them from iPhoto. When I select 'Original', I get the full-size files, but they're not trimmed. I can drag and drop the clips from iPhoto to a folder, and I do get files that are trimmed correctly, but they're very small (around 12K), so I'm guessing that they link to files on my own hard drive, and won't work if I send them to somebody else.
    I am guessing that I could fix the problem manually by making a list of videos that I trimmed, opening each one of the 12K files files in QT Player, and saving that movie. This creates a full-size movie file which is the right file size for the trimmed portion. However, I'd like to be able to do all of this in a single batch operation. Is there a solution for this?

    You can't. Trimming inside iPhoto stays inside iPhoto. (Does that have a familiar ring to it?)  All trimming must be done outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player.  So export the clips to a folder on the Desktop and do the trimming there.

  • How to export .MOD  clips as iMovie Project without quality losing?

    Hi,
    i have JVC HDD SD Camera (GZ-MG335HE). If i play .MOD Clips directly with VLC i have very good movie quality. I shoot movies in ultra fine quality (Right click on .MOD file shows: Res.720 x 576, kbps 9284, 25 frames per second, Codecs: MPEG-2 Video, AC3). But as soon i import movies, there is drop in quality. I tried to export movies as quick time movie, choosing many formats - dv, avi, .mov, .mpg but there is always to me visible loss of movie quality. iMovie produces good movies, but i would like to have the same quality as on my camera (the movie size doesn´t matter to me- i need 4,7 GB on HDD for 1 hour-that is acceptable for me)
    Is it possible to import .MOD movies 1:1 to iMovie and then make project and export the movie without quality losing?
    Thanks

    Do you mean import what I have in iMovie 09 into iMovie HD/06 instead? I suppose I could but I wanted to add some of iMovie 09's titles and adjustment effects to my iMovie HD/06 project, so it could get quite complicated trying to piece it all together. I may have to do that as a last resort, but does anyone know any way I can get around this?
    I would think there must be some way to save my iMovie 06 file as something other than an iMovie file without losing quality... but things aren't always that easy are they?

  • Incorporating external sound within a clip without re-encoding

    I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can save me a bit of time. If Premiere is not capable of doing certain things (see below) then I won't have to vainly search through the manual to find how to do them.
    1. Can Premiere automatically align a sound clip that was taken with an external recorder, to the sound already inside an AVCHD clip? A TV cameraman I was talking to recently said that FCP can do it. For a particular clip, he just highlights a series of sound files (if I understood him correctly) and FCP chooses the right one and aligns it to the existing sound.
    2. Can I import a clip in AVCHD format (taken on a GH2), remove the existing sound track and replace it with another (for example, as above), and save again as AVCHD, without the video part being re-encoded? What I want to do is store the externally recorded sound files within the clip instead of having them as separate files. Simplify my archives.
    I don't need instructions how to do the above, I just want to know if it is possible, and what technical terms to look for in the manual.

    Thanks for the responses, but I'm still not clear about what is and is not possible. I've got the full Adobe suite, so if any of the software included in the suite can automatically sync sound, please let me know.
    1. Jim Simon responded that it might be possible to sync sound if both clips have identical timecode. Well, my recorded sound does not have timecodes, so does that preclude Premiere from automatically syncing external sound to internal AVCHD sound?
    2. Dave Merchant suggests third-party software for (2), the demuxing/remuxing. That's sort of okay, but I'd rather stick with Premiere (if possible) or FCPX (if I have to). So, does Dave's answer mean that Premiere is not able to replace sound inside an AVCHD clip without re-encoding the video when saved?
    3. Jim Curtis suggested PluralEyes. Looks good for automatic syncing. But it means another piece of software, and for $100 extra I can buy FCPX. He also says that FCPX has this function built in (I assume he means auto sound syncing).
    I'm left with this (correct me if I'm wrong):
    A: FCPX and PluralEyes can automatically align sound files. Premiere cannot.
    B: FCPX and Premiere cannot, without re-encoding when saved, align and replace the audio in an AVCHD clip. For that I need other software.

  • Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

    Hello fellow editors!
    I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
    I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
    There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.         
    I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
    Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

    Kevin Monahan ...
    Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
    Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
    These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

  • "Offline material is present in this export and will be encoded using the offline media graphic"

    This comes up every so often with my renders.  I have a 28:30 minute project that is 100% complete.  All the files are present locally, and nothing shows as offline or missing.  I've gone through the final sequence frame by frame and NOTHING is offline or missing.  But when I want to send it out to export, I get the message above in the title.
    What's strage is if I ignore it, then sometimes the final render WILL have display the offline graphic even though it didn't display as such in the Premiere timeline.
    Often, restarting Premiere and reopening the project irons that glitch out just fine, but I have one particular project that seems to do it every time. I've tried the "import into a new project" trick, but with no luck.
    Clueless in Exportville

    Hey Guys,
    Anybody find a solution to this yet? I am working with Premiere Pro cs5, working with r3d footage, and am having the "offline material is present" error pop up when I try to export using adobe media encoder. Prior to that error box popping up, there is another dialogue box that says that premiere has detected that there is an update to media encoder, I am running media encoder 5.01 and tried to update it but it tells me all files are up to date.
    Anyways back to the problem, there is only one shot that is affected and is rendered with the offline media image( this clip also happens to be a different colour(green or teal) than the other clips in my sequence(which are blue or greyish), not sure if this is an indication of anything. I reimported the clip, and re did the edits and then exported just that new small section to see if the error would happen again,this time however, when I did the export, instead of  "queue", I just hit "export" ,and the export happened without media encoder actually opening. The file came out fine,even though I had the offline media present pop up, the video was all good. I know I changed a couple of variables in that troubleshooting, so now I am trying the entire sequence with the "export" button instead of "queue" button in the media encoder pop up box, hopefully that will help. The only downside is that it seams like it takes way longer to export this way than in the queue.
    I'll report back to let you know if that helps and if I can reproduce the error with the "queue" button.
    EDIT
    Both exports worked, so it must have been due to the re importing and re editing of the clips, however I still get the error message "offline material is present..." I guess I'll see what happens next time I do an export. Cross my fingers.

  • Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?

    Using the latest FCP..
    Im working on a project with some heavy boris effects stuff... SLOW SLOW rendering.. The entire sequence is already rendered.. but when I go to export the sequence as a QT movies.. using the current settings.. it wants to rerender the **** thing.. 4+ hours.. instead of just spitting out a QT built with the ALREADY rendered sequences.. The timeline is 1080i XDCAM. The sequences is only 5 minutes long.. So it should export in a matter of minutes if it didnt want to RERENDER EVERYTHING..
    This is killing me right now..
    Can I export a sequence without rerendering the entire thing again?

    Joe
    Lets start at the bottom and work back ....
    What is your target format? You want to export the sequence but for what purpose? Is it for broadcast delivery, for burning to DVD, for web, or ....?
    You note that the timeline is 1080i XDCAM ... well that is a native Long GOP format. When you export it as a single self contained clip then all those GOP structures that make up the different elements of your sequenvce must be broken down and re-conformed into a singole semaless GOP structure that describes the whole. Thats why it is re-rendering.
    And GOP's are a hog to decode and encode ... thats why you're seeing such SLOW SLOW rendering.
    Suggestion number 1) Set your sequence's Render codec to ProRes 422 ... th erender files will be bigger but they rendering itself will be much faster.
    Suggestion number 2) If you are not exporting back to XDCAM media specifically then there is no real reason to export your edit as XDCAM HD. Try exporting as ProRes 422 (as per the render setting) ie choose Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Setting: Apple ProRes 422 (+not Current Settings+)
    Suggestion number 3) If you are working on a big and powerful mac like the latest and greatest MacPro's, then in future just set your sequence codec to ProRes 422 and edit the XDCAM files directly in that ProRes 422 timeline, when done then Export > Quicktime Movie w/ Current Settings
    Hope thats helpful

  • Export sequence to be encoded using Handbrake?

    Premiere Pro is a great bit of software but when it comes to encoding the final product it seems to really let itself down.
    When i go to export media using H.264, same res, maximum depth and with bitrates that I would normally be fine using in the likes of Handbrake the results are really poor, they appear to be really low bitrate with lots of artefacts everywhere. The files are encoded very quickly but that is not my goal, i want a highly compressed, high quality video. Is there any way to export the raw files straight into handbrake?
    I've tried looking for an uncompressed video codec but there seems to be issues with matching resolutions but this isn't really what i wanted to do, can i export directly to Handbrake or another encoder which produces much better results and the inbuilt Adobe one?

  • Trimming Clips Before Editing

    I know how to shorten clips in Premiere when working on a project.
    However, I have lots of clips saved to my computer that are way too long. For future viewing purposes, I would like to trim them down so that I don't have to view all the non singnificant parts when I go back to review the footage.
    Example: I have a 5 minute clip and only want to save 20 seconds worth of footage.
    Is there a way I can trim the bad parts out and save the good parts to my computer without having to import and export into a software program? I don't want to lose any quality.

    In Quicktime Player Pro, you can trim movies and then save the trimmed version without recompressing or losing quality.
    I'd been told that if you export from Ae or Pr using the same as source codec and dimensions, etc., there is no loss in quality.  However, I saw a test debunking this once, where the tester exported this way, imported the exported clip, and repeated the process 10 times.  The "10th generation" was inferior, which is easy to see when you stack the two versions and put the higher one in DIFFERENCE mode.  This was using a codec, of course.  If the original source was uncompressed, then all succeding generations should be the same.  But, how often do people get uncompressed footage?  Hardly ever, unless it's from that Convergent Gemini gizmo or a RAID connected to a high end camera, like a Viper or Genesis.
