How do I Extract Raw Clips of my captured HD footage?

This is probably a newb question, but what I want to do simply is to get raw pieces in the original format of my captured HD footage. I shot with the Sony F900 in 1080 true 24p (not 23.97) and captured with the Sony JH-3 deck. I captured the footage uncompressed in true 24 using the AJA Xena LH in Quicktime and in 8-bit yuv with square pixels.
My way of trying to extract the raw clips was to import the captured footage into CS3, edit out the clips that I wanted, and then try to export them as "movie." As I export them, I set the general format to Quicktime (not AJA Quicktime), and for "video" chose "uncompressed 8 bit yuv," and in the pixelation, chose square pixels. For the h/v ratio I chose 1920 x 1080 and for frame rate, true 24. However, when I start to save it and it starts to process, it will freeze a few seconds, and then I get an error message and CS3 automatically shuts down. I can avoid this if I choose either another h/v ratio, frame rate, a different form of pixelation (like DV/NTSC .9) or AJA Quicktime. But, of course, what I'm really hoping is to match my original footage.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong or is this a software bug? Or is there a completely different way to get my raw clips?

On the Export Settings' Source tab, click the Crop button; you can select 4:3 from the Crop Proportions dropdown. This will shove the crop way over to one size, but you can adjust the size and position of the crop as needed to center it up.
Once you pick your Format and Preset (or tweak as you like for 4:3 output), toggle back and forth between the Source and Output tabs to make sure you're getting a clean crop. Once you have it how you like it, save yourself some trouble and create a new preset, which you can then apply to as many clips as you like.

  • AVCHD - how should I extract separate clips?

    My first go around with AVCHD which I know nothing about except that after buying a nice new Sony video camera I have as a result on my first try-out, a single file called AVCHD even though I took several separate clips. When I click on that file on my computer, it opens up and shows thumbnails of each of the separate clips. When I click on one of the clips it opens in Quicktime and from there I can export the file to save it as a separate clip on my computer.
    Is there an easier way to batch save the separate clips or do I need to go through this process of opening each one separately in Quicktime and exporting it in order to save it?
    Any information on how I should approach working with this AVCHD format would also be greatly appreciated.
    TIA,
    Ken

    Ken...video is FAR more complex than still photography. And it makes it worse when we have to deal with camera manufacturers that make dozens of different recording formats.  Ready for this?
    Tape (HD):
    HDCAM
    HDCAM SR
    DVCPRO HD
    HDV
    XDCAM (disks)
    D5
    Tape (SD):
    Digibeta, Betacam SP, Betacam SX
    M-II
    DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO 50
    Umatic (3/4")
    Now...onto tapeless.
    P2 MXF (DVCPRO HD and AVCIntra)
    XDCAM EX
    AVCHD (about 8 different types of this)
    H.264 (a few types from different DSLRs)
    RED RAW
    Alexa (DNxHD or ProRes)
    Canon XF
    HDV (there is a tapeless format of this)
    MPEG-2
    MPEG-4
    Op1A
    HDCAM Native
    And those are the professional formats. Then there are phone video formats and small point and shoot formats.  And there are all sorts of different file structures and separate files that tie together to make the media and metadata work together. There is no simple drag and drop of files.  Each format has a different file structure, and different support files. Different recording formats...be it .MTS, Quicktime, RED RAW, MP4, MXF...the list goes on.
    There is no standard.
    I have a tutorial on the process for tapeless in FCP...

  • How to split video and extracted audio clip at same time?

    I imported 10 min of DV from my Sony HC96 camcorder to iMovie 6.
    I selected a video clip and split it using cmd-T but the extracted audio clip below it did not split. How can I split both the video and underlying audio clip so I can drag the edge of the new video clip for editing by direct trimming and keep the audio dialogue in sync. I have already gotten the clip volume levels right in the extracted audio.
    This seems pretty basic editing but I must be missing something.

    Thanks, Sue. Let me see that I have this right. I split the video then the audio. I then selected and trimmed the video to the remove the 10-15 seconds I wanted to remove. To keep the dialogue in sync with the speaker's lips, I then selected and trimmed the audio to the same time as I trimmed the video. Then I dragged the audio clip back up to the new start of the trimmed video clip. I did this and the dialogue and lips seem to be in sync.
    I guess originally I had looked for a solution where I cut both clips at the same time and trimming one trimmed the other. But now I see I just need to do them separately. Thanks for the help, Sue!
    ralph
    Hi Ralph:
    You can't do both at the same time, but you can do
    them one right after the other. Highlight the audio
    and split it after you split the video and be sure to
    keep the playhead in the same position.

  • How to let Premiere or Audition put Extracted audio clips into a desired folder when clicking "Edit clips in Audition"?

    I recently did Volume Match for entire feature film dialogue clips, what happened is I found lots of extracted audio clips scattered around in my Media hard disk, luckily I only have one Hard disk for all media, I look it in Preferences in both Premiere and Audition, there is no such setting to put all extracted audio clips in one designated folder.  Anyone has any solution to that?

    When I send a Premiere sequence to Audition it makes a subfolder with the same name as the Premiere sequence I sent from automatically. All I have to do is specify a path before I hit OK. If you are sending one clip at a time it seems to save that extract next to the Premiere project file.

  • Extract a clip from a DVD

    Yeah, like the Subject says, "Extract a clip from a DVD". How can I do that? And, I'd like the subtitles to be extracted as well. It's for my presentation thing. It's irritating if I have to search for a particular scene during the presentation, so having the clips in the Powerpoint is better. But the film I'm presenting on is a foreign one, so I need the subtitles to go in the clip as well.

    You can select chapters, if you just want a piece of a chapter then rip the chapter and use iMovie or Quicktime Pro to take that piece out.

  • How do I extract calendar files?

    Thank you for reviewing this post.  I appreciate any help you are willing to provide.
    I recently bought a new win 7 machine.  My tech copied all my old data from the previous machine to a single folder on my new machine. 
    I have some Palm data .... But it did not import and the TX model will not install on my Win 7 machine, so I have to get this done through Palm Desktop.  (I read that might be caused by the fact I went to version 6 of palm software and tried to import).
    Quite simply here is my issue:  I really just want to get my calendar information.  I am probably going to use a different calendar program in the near future.
    How can I extract the calendar data from the raw files?  (Calendar.dat, etc)????
    MUST I import or somehow go through Palm Software, or can this be done outside of the Palm framework?
    I just FEEL that this cannot be anything too difficult, but I am so stuck and missing appointments daily.
    I am very grateful for your help.

    Post relates to: Palm TX
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    With the version of the data files you have, you will need to install Palm Desktop 4.2 or 4.1.4e. You will need to uninstall Palm Desktop 6.2, if that is what you have installed currently. The files with the extension of .dat are not compatible with PD 6.2.
    Another thing to consider is the version of Win7 you have installed. If you have 64 bit version, you will only be able to sync wirelessly using bluetooth, Infrared or wi-fi. On your PC go to the computer icon and right click. Look on the page and see if it states 64bit anywhere. If you have the 32bit version, you can sync via the USB cable method but you need to make sure you have the correct version of PD installed. 
    To put the .dat files into PD, you will need to go to the username folder on the program drive and paste the files into the correct subfolder. Make sure PD is closed. Go to c-program files-palm and look for the PD user folder. Once you locate the folder, look for subfolders in that folder for address (this is the folder for contacts), datebook (calendar), memos and tasks. Paste the address.xxx files into the address folder, the datebook.xxx files into the datebook folder, etc. Once the files are in the respective locations, open PD and see if the data is there. If it is, you can then setup the sync according to your Win7 version, either wireless or USB.

  • How do I extract an audio file from a PDF in Pro? (Mac)

    How do I extract an audio file from a PDF in Pro? (Mac) . Properties say it's a .m4a file.
    Thanks

    Hi Tim,
    That isn't a supported feature. If the PDF is unsecured and you have the legal rights to extract the audio, it would be possible to locate and decompress the raw file data from the PDF file using third-party tools to read the low-level file structure (a hex editor or Cos editor) - but Acrobat can't help you.

  • How can I extract a still picture from footage in iMovie, add text to it and print it ?

    How can I extract a still picture from footage in imovie, add text to it and print it ?

    Assuming you have iMovie 11 (also known as Version 9.0.4), here is how you do it. (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different).
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then use this photo in Photoshop, Pixelmator, Acorn, or the app of your choice to add text.
    Here is a demo I made the other day for how to extract the still image using MPEG Streamclip.

  • How do you view raw files on an iMac G5?!

    Hello there,
    I just recently received my first computer for 30 bucks. It's my first experience getting used to a home computer. I extracted some some rar files with "Unrar" but now I have these raw files, which won't view because I don't have the equipment it seems. I suppose "raw" means a type of photo file? Anyways I can't view these files until I get some kind of raw viewer. I've tried a handful of raw viewers but none of them really work. Most look like these funny documents that have no setup and I tried "fastrawviewr" which keeps saying archiving when I click it... Whatever archive means.. I also have this icon when I first got my iMac G5 name Macintosh hd, which was constantly trying to archive fastrawviewer. I have been stuck for 3 days now puzzled on how to view these raw files. Id appreciate some assistance, I can't continue with my project until I figure out how to view these raw files.

    Not sure if you could use a good software editor to convert or manipulate such
    large files in an older Mac. Usually RAW files take considerable space, use a
    ton of system resources, and require extra storage, memory RAM + larger CPU...
    And graphic processor with its own video RAM.

    So with an old computer that may or may not be viable in its own limitation, you
    may have some time of it, to make use of it as you seek to do a project w/o much
    idea of what software still may exist.
    If you have a device that creates RAM image files, see if there is a way for it to
    make both jpeg and RAW or less huge files. Or only use the jpeg files and save
    the larger RAW files for some other time when you get a later model computer.
    •Graphic Converter - Lemke software:
    http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/download/
    see Graphic Converter version 6 or version 7
    There is a software by the name Graphic Converter available (may run in demo)
    that is a shareware. Note on their download page options and versions, the one
    you'd need for use with the old PowerPC based Mac would be of a vintage that
    may or may not be available. Their page should have an indication. While I had
    an old version of Graphic Converter for Mac, for a Tiger 10.4.11 system, I didn't
    use it much. Instead I used a combination of ToyViewer for Mac and the native
    Preview application to edit images. Graphic Converter has other capabilities.
    Not sure about the viability of or availability of the named software listed here:
    http://www.pure-mac.com/graphics.html as most titles and their home pages
    may not be available or could have survived but only for Intel-based late Macs.
    Some cameras came with software. Nikon offered a trial run of something they
    later sold, but that was limited in how it could work; later versions of the software
    won't run on older OS X systems. And huge files require extra system resources.
    Depending on the build model series Mac  you may be able edit some images OK.
    So what are the system specifications and available resources, by the numbers?
    You could look into everymac.com and/or get mactracker.ca database to compare
    your old iMac G5 specs to see what one you have. Also, you could go to a site &
    use it to see specs https://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    For certain software to run, the computer may need some kinds of hardware upgrade.
    Or some of the tasks could be well beyond the current status of the device.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I get video clips into Organizer from Elements?

    I have broken my raw video into pieces in elements but can't get it to import into organizer.
    I am using Elements 11 Trial.

    The video is actually a football highlight film for our son and came to us as a single mp4 file with about 60 plays of video on it.
    What I am trying to do is
    1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project).
    2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips.
    3) Get the ability to rank/rate each video and select the 25 or so that will make up the final video.
    4) Polish/edit those that make the grade.
    5) Organize and assemble.
    Does this make sense?

Pick a file type that suits your needs.  Be sure to check the box titled "Share WorkArea Bar Only".  Unfortunately, the clip piece will be re-encoded.  PrE11 will do that well, but not perfect because any encoding always seems to loose a little. You did not say what camera you are using.  The software that came with my Sony and Panasonic camcorders is much better for splitting clips into smaller clips.  Some sort of magic is in them where re-encoding does not take place.  The pieces have the same picture quality as the original.   So, when I do what you want, I break it into pieces with the camcorder software, the put the video together in PrE with all the creative tools it offers.  Bill

Thanks for every one who has adviced me how to do it. Thanks guys... If u all find better method tha above...please inform us. Thx.

  • How to save extracted audio?

    I'm editing my wedding video and I want to extract the audio of the clips I have so I can play them over music, rather than the actual audio. However, I currently only have these clips in this project, this is the only place they exist for me, so I really don't want to get rid of the sound forever, obviously (if the only record of the vows is destroyed, does it still apply? Only joking!)
    Is there a way to save the extracted audio as a separate sound file? Or can I export copies of the clips (not the whole project) to a different project? I haven't worked as much on HD as I did with the previous iMovie, so I'm not sure how that would work. Thanks for any help!
    Shannon

    "Extracting" the audio (vows!) doesn't really extract it. It copies the original audio, and puts that copy in the audio track, just below the video, and then just turns off the audio within the video clip.
    So the original audio is still embedded within the video (..no escaping those vows!..) but is just temporarily silenced. But it can have its volume turned up again, just as it was before.
    If you want to just "..play them over music.." you could simply leave the audio where it is, within the video, and add music to one of the audio tracks below.
    But if you mean that you want to play that bit of audio elsewhere within the movie, with added music - e.g; as a reprise at the end - you could 'Extract' the audio (..but that doesn't destroy the original audio; just quietens it ..though you can later bring it back up to its original loudness..) and then Copy that extracted audio clip, and Paste it back into an audio track anywhere else that you want in the project!
    [..To Export the separated (extracted) audio out of iMovie and into some external file, you can select the video clip locked to it, above it, choose 'Share' and click the 'Selected clips only' check-box, and save the audio as whatever kind of audio you want, from the drop-down selection which appears. Oddly, you can't just select and share just the audio clip; you need to select the video clip associated with it ..an oversight on the programmer's part, I think..]
    So, the original audio's never lost - sorry: ..a vow is a vow! - but having "extracted" (..i.e: copied..) the audio, you can then Copy and Paste that 'extracted' audio as often as you want!
