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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Exporting renamed clips from Prelude to PP CC

I'm using Prelude to rename clips for me. But when I send them to Premiere Pro I don't always get the full clip - I only get partial clips.
When I do a direct import through media browser in PP, the entire clips is there.
Am I missing an export setting in Prelude?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

Premier pro, can i save multiple trimmed clips in h264 to new files.

i have to reduce the size from 120gb to 20 gb by cutting out the unwanted but leave in seperate files.

You certainly can do this in Premiere by importing a clip, trimming it and exporting to whatever file type and quality you desire. However if that's all you're looking to do, it's like using a $200,000 Bentley to take your kid down the block when all you need is a wagon.
If you are on a Mac, Quicktime Player will allow you to trim clips and resave the trimmed version, and it's free as part of the OS.

Export a clip in exactly the same quality as the original

I have just tried importing a DSLR H264 file in premiere and export it back
1. At the question if i would like to create the new sequence i choose using the clip's settings
This generated a correct sequence (regarding the frame size the pixel aspect ratio and the field order) but it set the preview settings in i mpeg / 50% quality, while the clip uses the quicktime H264 codec (let us say that this will be used in the editing procedure and can be altered at the export)
2. I immediately exported the clip from the sequence using the match sequence setting option (which uses the I mpeg codec)
3. I Linked then to AMA in the Avid facility we have, (both the original and the -so called same as sequence = same as clip export - (I used link to AMA so that i could prevent Avid from trnascoding any of the clips.
4. the results (using Avid's Color Scopes) are that there is a colour shift to the exported video from Premiere vs the original.
5. I retried using H264 as the export codec and disabling the Limit data rate and enabling any time cost setting
6. I tried many other possible solutions regarding the export codecs or the sequence settings and still having a different kind of shifting all the time
What is the official Adobe solution to import and export in a lossless way any material, or importing something in Premiere means you start shifting from original?

First of all thanks for the reply. Both codecs you mention are pc only codecs and i am working on a mac
I am working on an avid environment, having proposed the install of 3 premiere suites
My point is that i want to edit no matter the codec (impeg or whatever) but be able to export the edit using the native video codec and at the native quality like avid's AMA link way
So when i use H264 i want to export H264
Nevertheless i have done some experiments here and came at the following conclusions
1) exporting using animation codec gives back 100% quality in the best speed
while this is back imported to Premiere and matched down with the original using Premiere scopes and the sequence's preview files being set to H264 gives back 100% the original, when i match it on avid (1 track the original AMA linked 2nd track the exported from Premiere (also AMA linked) ) the Avid's scopes are showing a minor shift in chroma and luma (which visually is non identified)
My question though is more generic and has to do with the whole philosophy of Premiere's materials handling.
I import a video - it is by default using the 50% quality impel in order to edit quickly and when it comes to export what do i do?
I use a different export codec than the one i used to edit?
What about the effects rendered on the timeline (having used the imeg codec)?
I try to switch the sequence's settings to a quicktime animation codec when i finish an edit (it losses the preview files generated by the impel codec) and then export using again the animation codec, but that;s me
I try to find if there is an official Adobe Lossless method of doing this...

Is there any way of exporting a clip (example 1 hour) into 4 seperate 15 min clips at the same time? Or does anyone have any ideas along the same lines to save time? Add my skype baconhousevidz if you can help or are unsure of what im asking

Exporting multiple clips at one time

Hi, My school has asked me to convert old videos onto DVD media for archiving and for distribution amongst all teachers in my department. Yes I am sure some will mention legal stuff here but the videos are no long made and what we have is being held together with cellophane tape or cracking laserdisc videos (remember those?).
So far I have been able to import all the videos into iMovie. Each clip is about 1 minute or less in duration. I am now exporting one clip at a time into the requested WMV format but I can only export 1 clip at a time and I have several hundred to to. Is there a way to select multiple clips and export them one at a time without me having to select and export on clip at a time?
thanks in advance now back to exporting....

Never mind I am doing it one clip at a time. The school seems really happy about this since these video discs are no longer available for repurchase. Thanks.

I have a huge file which is in GB and I want to split the video into clip and export each clip individually. Can you please help me how to split and export the videos to computer? It will be of great help!!

Adobe Premier Elements 12 - Exporting trimmed AVCHD files from the project timeline, to a separate folder for burning to Blu Ray disc with other software?

Hi, can anyone help please. This is the first time I have used this forum.
I use Premier Elements 12, a PC, 64 Bit, Windows 7, high powered computer.
Just started trimming AVCHD in this software.
I would like to know if it is possible to export trimmed AVCHD files to a folder elsewhere (files which were originally imported into the project timeline), so that I can burn the trimmed AVCHD files (not in 'Project' form) to Blu Ray disc (using another software which I know that works to burn video files to Blu Ray disc).

Kathy
Thanks for the update. Your progress sounds very good.
Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 are similar. But, version 13 has significant feature removals and a new Elements Organizer.
So, when viewing or reading tutorials, try to determine the version of the program being used for the tutorials. As I typically write
principles tend to remain the same from version to version, but the features tend to move, change, or be discontinued from version
to version. And, it is frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature.

Cannot export video clips. Get message: "unable to create video for export"

Cannot export video clips from iPhoto to Finder folder. Export fails with message "unable to create video for export: "
The video clips play correctly within iPhoto.
Software: iPhoto version 9.5 on OSX 10.9
Hardware: Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 i7 8GB

Yes. I have 3,184 video clips in this library. I tested Reveal function by randomly selecting individual video clips and in every case the Reveal in Finder function worked correctly. I also tested this on random selections of groups of video clips and, again, the Reveal function worked correctly in every case.
Some more info that may be relevant:
I have multiple iPhoto libraries. My "main" library is very large (~30,000 files) and is located on an external hard drive (2TB WD) which is connected via USB.
The problem reported here is occuring on that "main" library. I have not opened any other iPhoto library since installing the new release.
While the File>Export function does not work, I have been able to simply copy and paste video clips from iPhoto library to a folder on Mac hard drive. It appears that meta data is copying correctly along with the video content.
I am able to import these copied video clips to iMovie. Meta data is imported along with the video content and I'm able to perform iMovie editing functions on those clips without any problems.
In summary, the File>Export function still fails with the message "unable to create video for export." Copying video clips and pasting them to interim folder seems to be a viable workaround enabling me to extract video clips from iPhoto for import to iMovie. I will run additional tests to see if I can find a pattern to the video files that are being rejected by iPhoto Export function.

How to completely remove the excess footage from a trimmed clip?

I'm sure there is a very basic answer for this, and I'm simply inexperienced.
I just can't seem to find this exact problem stated anywhere.
My issue involves time remapping.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro, using dynamic link between Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC. When I select a single "slice" of a clip I have trimmed down with the razor and open it in AE via direct link, it works well, and I proceed to enable time remapping. All goes as I want it to.
The issue arises when, immediately, I notice that the start and end key frames are not visible because they are actually placed at both ends of the full clip, NOT my trimmed down version. When I place key frames at the ends of the smaller area I want to work with, I notice that if I want to move those end frames inward, it actually pulls the excess footage from the sides into the work area, which I would expect if I didn't have the comp trimmed to the work area.
I'm sure this is just ignorance, but I want to be able to work ONLY with the trim I made, and if I want to pull my end keyframes around, I need them to leave blank black space, NOT the rest of the footage. How do I actually chop out the trim so this works the way I want it to?
Thanks so much in advance. I'm not well versed in the terminology for this program yet and I hope I was able to explain the issue at least halfway clearly.

When you enable time remapping, AE automatically creates keyframes at the start and end of the entire clip, regardless of how it's been trimmed (as you already know).
While there's no way to automatically do what you want, it's an easy manual process.
Enable Time Remapping.
Go to the in point of the trimmed clip (press i) and add a keyframe.
Go to the out point of the trimmed clip (press o) and add a keyframe.
Use the keyframe arrow buttons in the timeline to step forward to the end-of-layer keyframe. Even if it's outside the composition time so you can't see it, it can still be (invisibly) navigated to. Then remove the keyframe by clicking on the remove/add keyframe button between the two arrows.
Navigate to the start-of-layer keyframe and do the same.
Now you should have just two keyframes, at the start and end of the trimmed layer.
