How to edit (split/crop) original captured avi files

I have a whole library of camcorder tapes that I want to convert. But I don't necessarily want to save all the video.
Let's say the first tape has 15 minutes of good footage that I want to preserve. Then there is 10 minutes that is not worth saving. Then another 20 minutes of video worth saving.
I capture the whole 45 minutes of tape.
How do I edit/split/crop that 45 min .avi file into two .avi files (1st 15 minutes and last 20 minutes).
I know I can edit/crop this within PE (using the full 45 min avi file). But I want to end up with two separate .avi files only saving the material I want to.

You can also export any part of a project that you want.
Let's say you have 45 minutes of footage in your timeline. You can set the workbar to span the first 15 minutes, and click File > Export. Make sure you check the option that says "workbar only" and not "entire project". Voila, you have a 15 minute DVI.
Then set the workbar to span minutes 26 to 46, export again, and you've got your 20 minute AVI.
I do this all the time.
Also, if the video you want to save is sliced into clips (15 min, 10 min, 20 min), I believe you can also just click on the clip you want to export, then click File > Export, and it will automatically export only the clip you had selected (I'm pretty sure this is possible, since I've accidentally done it - not sure of the particulars since I'm not in front of my home computer).
Would either of those work for you?
Archiving might work, too??? IOW, edit out the bad stuff, then archive your project... that might automatically create the separate AVIs for you...

How can I locate the original .CR2 / Raw file from Photos in finder?

How can I locate the original .CR2 / RAW file from Photos in the finder window? I would like to know a easier way to open my files and use them in Photoshop than having to go to the Pictures folder, right clicking "show packaged contents", and manually searching for my CR2's / RAW's. It is also ridiculous to have to export the RAW file to my desktop, and then take it into Photoshop or another photo editing program. I was able to do this in iPhoto and find I cannot do so in Photos. Please help? Can you please consider adding a right click function that says "Show Original file in Finder". That would make it so much easier and better for those of us who want a simple way to access the original files and use them in other editing programs. At least with iPhoto you could go to the top menu / preferences and find your items.

http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
Rather than use the 'Show package Contents route, the supported and safer way is to export the unmodfied original.

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

Where is the captured avi file ?

After capturing footage in iMovie , how do I access the raw AVI file ? It seems to be embedded in iMovie in the clips pane , but I want to access it so I can do a backup burn to DVD of the footage as a raw file .
Do i have to save it as an avi file ?

The Druid,
You can drag clips from iMovie to your desktop and they'll be copied there.
Alternatively, you can select your iMovie project and control-click or right-click and choose Show Package Contents. Your clips will be in the Media folder.
Just be careful poking around in there. It's an easy way to wreck your project if you move or delete something you shouldn't.
Also, copying your entire iMovie project file is another effective means of creating a back up of your media.

How to deal with scratchy sound in AVI file from BetaCam masters

Recently, I got out some BetaCam edit masters of videos I produced in the 1990s. The university instructional technology center transfered the masters to Mini-DV tape, then made AVI files from the Mini-DV tapes. The AVI files sound fine when I play them from my hard drive, but when I use the AVI files in Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5, the sound is scratchy--sort of like a scratchy record. So then I got the Mini-DV tape and decided to import the program, playing it on my Canon GL1 camcorder and capturing it in PP CS4. But the sound is even worse. Please advise. These programs are too important to not be able to convert them to YouTube and DVD formats.

If things work OK in "programA" but not in "programB" (B being Premiere) that is usually a codec issue
AVI is simply a wrapper... what is the codec?
The first question at the end of this link has a link to the free GSPOT to find the codec
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with the DETAILS asked for in the questions at the end of that link

Captured avi file will start to play then stop

After capturing an avi file and trying to review it for editing in the timeline, the scene will start to play, but then after only 2 or 3 seconds the video stops, and the audio track contiues. This behavior began after I used a registry-cleaning product (PC Health Advisor). The avi file plays normally with video and sound in Windows Media Player. What should I do?

How can I batch replace audio in .avi files without re-encoding?

I have hundreds of .avi files that have two audio channels. One channel contains the audio from the original video footage, and the other channel contains speech-shaped noise that was added later.
I need to replace the speech-shaped noise with a different type of noise (multi-talker babble) without re-encoding the video and degrading its quality. I would like to be able to do this in a batch process if possible. Do any of you have an idea about how to approach this in Premiere Pro?
Some more details: each .avi file is about 2-3 seconds long, so I would need the replacement noise to be the same length as the original noise.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Using -replace:
$strings = @(
"Karaoke A Spoonful Of Sugar - Mary Poppins -_fwCVHtOQUk",
"Karaoke Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now - McFadden & Whitehead -kzh0Df42vms",
"Karaoke Ain't Nobody - Chaka Khan -qDP3_jInyl0",
"Karaoke A Tisket, A Tasket - Ella Fitzgerald -amgeW6HqaVo"
$strings -replace 'Karaoke (.+) - (.+) -.+','$2 - $1'
Mary Poppins - A Spoonful Of Sugar
McFadden & Whitehead - Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now
Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody
Ella Fitzgerald - A Tisket, A Tasket

Captured .avi file much shorter when imported as Premiere CS3 clip.

I'm new to Premiere CS3. My first project is to convert several old VHS tapes to DVD. My analog camcorder plays into an analog video-to-Firewire converter (ADSTech Pyro A/V Link). The Firewire digital stream was smoothly captured by Premiere and sent to my NTSF-formatted scratch disk under MS Windows XP Pro. The single .avi file (about 5 GB) plays back nicely in Windows Media Player which indicates a total length of 18min, 34sec. But when imported into a Premiere project, only the first 1min, 18sec appears.
What's up?

John--
I downloaded and ran GSpot v2.70a on my AVI file. Lot's of data!
In the GSpot "Container" window it reports these lines:
File Length Correct
DV Type 2 AVI
Multipart OpenDML AVI (5 parts)
(41160 frames in first part, -96 frames follow)
The "Video" report window says "Codec(s) are installed" with the name "DVC/DV Video." Actual length is 22m, 46.979s (which differs from my original statement because there a stretch of blank tape conversion after the actual content).
I think I'll repeat the transfer and be watching at the critical times.
Thanks for the pointer to GSpot and also thanks, Jim, for your response.

How can I split a class into 2 files?

I converted a C++ program to Java recently and it works fine, but I ran into a problem.
One file is very large and I need to add more functionality. Unlike with C++ where you can just put new functions in another file, I don't see a way to do it in Java.
I made another file, and therefore another class, but the compiler complains that it can't call a static function from non-static context. (I did not declare it static so I guess it's assuming it) But I understand why. So I made the new class "extend" the old one so "this" would exist but that doesn't work -- Is it because the new class is a subclass of the original class?
There must be a way to do this. But I don't see what is likely obvious. HELP! And thanks.

There must be a way to do this. But I don't see what is likely obvious. HELP! And thanks.Unfortunately Java has no concept of "partial classes" like C# has. Generally, however, a class that is large enough to split up into separate files is either one class that should be modularized further into separate classes, or it already is modularized and all that code is the result of many inner classes. What some people do is promote those inner classes to top-level members in their own file, and mark them as package-private. Using a package you can basically have two classes that know everything about each other and have full access to each other.
But personally, and until I see justification otherwise, semantics in Java being unbreakingly tied to a certain file structure and naming is the most bonehead and, frankly, non-Java thing about Java.
There's probably a pre-processor out there that will let you split a class into multiple files and will combine them into a single source file just-in-time to pass to the compiler.

How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
*The file:*
*Retains sound, builds and movement.*
*Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
There are videos on youtube showing you how to upgrade to QT Pro for free...

How to designate a program for all avi files

hi. i dl-ed the vlc player recently, but i dont know how to set it as the default player for all avi files. i secondary click on a avi file and go to others... and select the vlc player with 'always use this program' checked, but this allows only that single avi file to open with vlc. the rest of avi files are still set to open with quicktime. please kindly help me to designate the vlc player to open all avi files. thank you.
my best,
jeff kwak

If you use the Finder and do a 'Get Info' on your target file, you'll find additional options/dialogs that will let you choose to open all similar files with the same application...check it out and come on back if you get lost in the process, etc.

HT3775 how do you extend quicktime to open avi files?

I can't open AVI files, says I'm missing a codec. Using a Macbood Pro with Retina display. Are the files just corrupt?

No; there isn't a codec installed to play those specific AVIs, and the required codec may not exist for Mac OS X. Opening them in the free MPEG Streamclip may reveal exactly what is needed.
