Extracting portions of a sequence

New to Premiere Pro. Using Lynda.com and classroom in a book to learn.
I have a large single .AVI file (2 hours) I want to break it into multiple .AVI files as each portion is different subject so I can name the files ABC.avi DEF.avi for later use. Can not seem to find the easiest way to do this. A point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help.

Looping a portion of the sequence

It escapes me the way to loop a portion of the sequence..

Thanks for that Tom, I didn't know about Looped Playback, even though I have seen it mentioned many times ........ memory like a sieve!
My alternative suggestion was going to be, place a marker at the beginning of the clip and when you get to the end press Shift and Up arrow to go back to the previous marker. Not as elegant as Looped Playback but it should work.

I need to be able to extract portions of a pdf. I downloaded the trial of Adobe XI but did not do the full version

Is there a way to change the trial version I chose? Or is there a way to extract portions of a pdf within what I have? I chose the trial that said most popular. It allows me to split documents, but I need to be able to take out specific parts. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you so much!

Here is a screenshot of what is going on. As you can see, default tools is selected, and you can see how the tools above Split Document are lighter and not clickable.

ORA-19279 error extracting one-to-many sequence

I have an xml table built from a registered schema that I'm trying to extract data from using a view. The lowest level is a polygon with multiple vertices -- vertices number, latitude, and longitude. The xml file lists data as
POLYGON
SEQ_NUM
LAT
LON
SEQ_NUM
LAT
LON
SEQ_NUM
LAT
LON
/POLYGON
The method I use to extract the data returns an ORA-19279 error: "XQuery dymanic type mismatch: expected singleton sequence - got multi-item sequence." The error is pointing to the polygon data; however the polygon sequence tag in the xsd file has the attribute of maxOccurs="unbounded".
Below is the xsd file, a samlpe xml file and the Select statement I use.

Extracting portions of the timeline from iMovie to create a 'Sound File'

Hello
I recently used my Cannon GL2 as a field recorder to record 16 bit audio sound effects.
I'd like to extract certain portions of the timeline to create various 'Sound Files' which will be used later (as sound effects), in either iMovie, or FCE HD.
In iMovie HD, the only method I'm familiar with to extract a portion of the timeline to a 'Sound File', is to FIRST export that portion to a Quicktime File. Then I use 'Sound Studio 2.2.4' to import the Quicktime File. In Sound Studio, I can then create either an AIFF File, or Wav File.
From there, I open iTunes, and import the Wav File. Now I convert that Wav File to an MP3 (if I need to compress the size of the file).
I know I can import Raw DV Video Files (Captures), into Garage Band, but then I can't export that edited project into a Sound File.
But I do know I can use Garage Band to edit (EQ), a portion of the timeline, then Export that portion (as I explained above). But I'm still going through some extra steps .....
With all I'm mentioned, perhaps I need to get another software program in order to eliminate a step on my way to exporting a portion of a Video timeline from either iMovie, or FCE, and get straight to creating a sound file suitable for later import back into FCE, or iMovie?
Thanx for your comments
Mike

Hey Piero
Comestah?
I'm an Italiano too My Granparents are from Bari
Well yes thank you - that certainly answered part of my question
Now I wonder if I can extract just a 'PORTION' of the timeline? I tried to insert division points without actually cutting out all the unwanted stuff, and highlighted just that portion, but the Audio Extract process reverts back to extracting the ENITIRE timeline. So I guess I'd have to actually cut and delete all the unwanted parts, then 'save as' to that NEW iMovie project reflecting just that edit in order to extract JUST that audio piece?
I wonder if the process is more precise in FCE?
Gracias
Mike

Extracting portion of a recorded waveform

Hi. I'm using NI RF Phase-Coherent Multi-Channel Version 1.1. I'm recording and then playing back a signal. Is there a way that I could just playback a portion of the recorded waveform? For example, capturing a portion in the "middle" of the entire duration of the waveform? Thank you.

Hi NathanDave,
This is possible, but not currently supported by the NI RF Mulrichannel software.I will add this as a possible feature for the next version.
One way to workaround this and still use this software without any modifications would be to create a new binary data file containing just the portion of data you wish to regenerate, and then replacing the original data file with this new file.

Extract portion of strings based on the positions

Hi
My requirement is simple.I get the below data from the source file.
My data looks like this.Sometimes I get a space,one tab space,two tab space.It's ambiguous.
FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD THIRDWORD FOURTH (o/p=FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD THIRDWORD)
FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD THIRD WORD(o/p=FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD THIRD )
If it is something fixed,then I can write using INSTR and SUBSTR and it worked.But how we can handle multiple cases all at a time.
Thanks in advance
KVB

Perhaps something like this...
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 with t as (select 'FIRSTWORD SECONDWORD THIRDWORD FOURTHWORD' as txt from dual union all

Extracting portions of a long database column

I have Oracle 9i.
I need to first grab the first 240 chars of a long column and then split the column into two 32k character chunks. How would I do this?
THanks for any help.

I do not have control over this database so I only have a field that is a long filled with note text.
Thanks for all your help everyone.

Extract a signal portion

Hi,
I am new to Labview and trying to extract a portion of a signal. I can display the analog signal catured by an A-D card (Signal A)connected to PCI slot. I can capture another signal from the parallel port (Signal B) which I want to use for timing. Its a digital signal with two levels. I want to capture a portions from Signal A based on the time duration from Signal B and store them in a 2-D array or a matrix, so that I can use it as an image for further processing.
1. how to implement a counter to count number of pulses from signal A? I can convert it for boolian output if necessary.
2.how can I use that counter to extract portions from Signal B?
eg; extract signal from pulse 1 to 10 and store them in a first row of 2-D array
extract pulse 21 to 30 and store them in the second row of the same array and so on.
Or is there any other way to cordinate these two signals so that I can save the reqiured samples from signal A to a 2-d array?
A to D card is not from NI and I cannot use DAQ blocks.
Any help would be highly appreciated. If you can provide VI block diagrams it would be better as I am not that familiar with Labview. This is my first application in Labview.
Thanks and regards,
Ravi.

Hi Fana,
at first you could use a simple "greater or equal" function to find all parts of the waveform that exceed your limit. Then splitting the array should be easy...

Replace original audio from extracted audio

I accidently erased my extracted audio files from my hard drive.
The project used a Zoom H2 to dub the audio with.
When I open the project and SKIP ALL (since the files are missing), the extracted audio shows on my timeline.
Is there a magic wand that can allow me to place the ORIGINAL H2 audio back in where the extracted audio is?
I tried the replace clip feature in the project bin but that didn't work out, it's like it had a different in point.
please let me know if you need more details.

Hit F while the CTI is over the clip in the sequence. That will load that clip into the Source Monitor, with proper In/Out points. You can then drag down just the audio to replace the 'extracted' portion.

Questions about "Diff Sequence File With..." function

Hello,
I've started working on a project where I'm maintaining a piece of older code written by a since-departed employee of my company. It's a TestStand 3.0 sequence file calling on Labview 7.0 code. The thing is, there were two of these installations done at different times and, somewhere in the woods between stations 1 & 2, the code base diverged. Part of it was due to not being able to get exact duplicate hardware for the PXI chassis and part was, apparently, due to the fact the client used the 2 machines to test different UUT models.
So, I'm looking at copies of the installed code base on the two machines using the diff feature in TestStand. (If it makes a difference, I'm doing this viewing in TestStand 3.5 since TS3.0 has mysteriously gone corrupt on me at the moment on my main development computer and, if memory serves, you have to uninstall all the later version of TS to reinstall an older version. An altogether fun process, no doubt, but a little time consuming.)
Anyway, the first thing I notice is that very many of the sequence steps have different Step Properties.Step ID values that look something like this: "ID#:2vMTp0db002mQDXArddRSA". Messing with the diff screen showed an option to "Ignore Unique Step Ids" which got rid of these. Regarding these unique step ID's: When are they generated and do they remain constant on a particular machine? Beyond mere curiosity, I wonder because another diff is in some of the "On Pass Target" or "On Custom Condition True Target" under certain Step Properties and the value under there looks suspiciously like those unique ID's (i.e. ""ID#randomstuff""). Are these all dynamically updated at runtime or will I break something by changing those (say if I copy a sequence from one version overwriting it in the other)?
So, I filtered the unique ID's out. The next large area of difference is that many, but by no means all, Labview VI calls have a difference under Step Properties > Flexible Labview Adapter Properties > ViCall > Connector Pane Checksum > Value. Also, in a few other instances, ViCall > error out > Connector Number is different as well. Does this indicate a different underlying VI?
There are a few other differences, but I can interpret those. My goal is to get one sequence file for both machines so the code will be easier to maintain. I do think that some of the VI's with different Connector Pane Checksums may be different between the two installations since one of the different hardware components required a different driver library. This leads to a third question, what does it take to use identical sequence files when the underlying VI's might differ? Is it just the interface needs to be the same? Like the connector pane has the same geometry and data types for the exposed inputs and outputs?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just got off the phone with NI support, so no worries on the answers.
Short versions:
The unique ID's are regenerated when a sequence is copied.
Teststand doesn't need higher versions uninstalled to reinstall an earlier copy.
Connector Pane Checksum implies a different underlying VI, but having the same connector geometry/inputs/outputs/types should allow you to have a different VI for different installations without different sequence files.
Still waiting to hear back from support on whether the goto pointers get updated properly when a sequence or portion of a sequence is copied.

Copying Part of a Sequence

Hi
Not sure how to do this but I have a long sequence. The client wants to see a 2 minute segment from the middle of the sequence. I suspect I might need to copy out the 2 minute clip and composites (text boxes, etc) into a new sequence but how to select just the section I want to copy?
When I used to use Sony's Vegas Pro, I could just click and drag in the upper timeline bar to select everything.
How can I do this in FCP 6?
Then I have to put it on a DVD for them.
Thanks
Allen

There are a few things you can do:
To copy a portion of a sequence, use the Range Selection Tool (ggg). Paste the lifted segment into a new sequence.
Or, set in and out points in your sequence and Export. Only the footage within your I/O points will be exported.

Can't export a sequence

I have a 45 min Long HDV sequence and when I try to export it with quick time conversion set at DVPRO NTSC it immediately say General Error with no number, and the canvas window turns solid red and say "Display unavailable. Close and reopen window to restore."
I seem to be able to play the sequences with no problems. Other sequences in the project exported fine. When I try to export the sequence using Compressor or QT export it gets about half way through and FCP crashes. I trashed preferences but it still does not work. What's going on?

It might be possible that some portion of media or render file is corrupted,
render files could be deleted and replaced by new renders.
Should you trash renders do so using Render Manager (manual III-673), which can be found in FCP main menu>Tools>Render Manager.
If instead some corruption of the original media has occurred you need to find the corrupted file.
Set in and out on portions of your sequence and try export again to see if a specific portion produces the general error again.
Finally did you try exporting as QT movie reference (self-contained unchecked)?
Hope that helps,

How do I export only a part of the sequence? (storyline)

In FCP 7 it was simple to export only a portion of the sequence. How in the world do I do that in X?
Later.

If you have Compressor 4 then I think you can still export just a selected range of your timeline ... if not, or if you don't have Compresor 4 then you should be able to quickly convert a selected range to a Compound Clip, then right click that and Open in Timeline, then export that timeline (ie the original selection) ... then just step back into the main timline and Undo to get back to the pre-Compound Clip state if necessary.

Import part of the sequence from another project

I'm working on about the fifth edit of a project and now want to move part of a sequence (about 40 clips) from one project to another. I understand I could import the entire sequence and then delete all but the portion I want, or delete all but the portion I want and then import it as the entire sequence - but this might take a while. Anyone know of a quicker way to import a portion of a sequence from one project to another. Many thanks

Thanks guys,
Would have reported back earlier but have been on other adventures. FYI, never get involved in filming medieval stuff, they're insane. But back to the project in topic, unfortunately the lasso / copy from one project to another certainly did not work in this instance. However thanks to Craig Howard @ # 1. This is probably the only method that will work in this example and even so I'll report on it's outcome later.
Thanks guys!
