How to save a clip

Hello all,
I am sorry, this seems simple, but I've not found any answer after a LOT of searching.
I have a clip defined in a preview window with in and out points.  I can move it into my timeline if I wish...
I want to "save" this clip.  Forever. Fully outside Premiere, so that I can load it back into Premiere any time I wish, or into After Effects, or some other program.
So that you get the idea...
Imagine that I view/edit an hour of footage each day on average, and along the way I find amazing clips that I CAN'T USE in my CURRENT project, but I want to save them, forever, in a folder called "SPECIAL CLIPS TO USE SOMEDAY" on my PC.
I don't want to export it, because I don't want to change or degrade it in any way... I want to save it exactly and precisely as Premiere understands the clip as defined inside Premiere (originally captured as an avi file into Premiere).
Over time, I will have amassed hundreds or thousands of these clips.
I want to, essentially, right click on the clip, and select "save clip".
Except there is no such thing....
Is there?
Many thanks!

Thanks for the reply, shooternz,
I'm not sure I understand...
So let's say I have a project well under way, 10 minutes of footage edited and looking nice, and time is a-wastin'
As I continue to work, I find this amazing 5 second clip in miles of source footage that I want to save forever.  I will never see it again, because I have hours and hours and hours of video... and if I don't save it now... it's gone.  I'll never find it.
I can't export it... because I'd have to export my entire current project...
So I'd have to save my current project,
Delete the entire timeline,
Drop my 5 second clip into the timeline,
Export the timeline into some format (that might or might not be a good choice with respect to degradation),
Then reload my current project so that I can continue editing.
Did I capture this properly?
II'm not sure what my posts have to do with flight...
Thank you!
you can more easily do exactly what you want, you dont have to delete your timeline.
in your preview window with your in/out points set just click on the video and drag it over to the "new item" icon at the bottom of your bin window. you will see a small + sign on your pointer and let go and it will create a new sequence that exactly matches your video settings and will drop in just the marked area of your footage into the sequence. then click Ctrl-M to export to the archival format of your choice. I would recommend h264 as it is the highest quality for smallest size ratio you will get.
that should only take a couple of seconds to do so i think it sounds like a decent solution. then just delete the sequence from your project after it renders. you can even queue it into AME and let it render in the background while you continue to edit in premeire.
good luck

  • CS4 How to save a clip or a group of clips to use in another project ?

    Hi guys, I am new here and I am new in this videoediting.
    I find Premiere Pro fantastic to edit videos, it really is a program for PRO´s.
    Because of that it has so many functions and options that it is hard for a beginner to find his way.
    I have tried to find the answere to my question in the Help, here in this Forum and I have also two different Video tutorials but not lucky.
    Background:
    I had 10 videotapes from a Sony handycam that I took in 1989-90 in NZ living there with my 2 small daughters for one year.
    I have got the tapes transformed to DVD´s and I have no problem to read them and edit them in Pro CS4. But I want to make a couple of different videos for different audiences.
    One DVD incl the whole trip, one short version and then I want to use just some clips for something totally diferent.
    I put in a lot of effort to change the lightning and editing every clip very carefully. I just want to do this one time for every clip.
    So how can I save the edited clips so I easily can open them up in different projects?
    Probably a stupid question but no question - no answere!
    I have been readinf quite a lot here in the different forums for Premiere and I am amazed how much knowledge there is here.
    Best regards
    Sven  

    I hope my question has not been answered yet, I hope to hear another solution to my problem.
    Problem again:
    I have 10 movies in .vob format, each around 30 minutes.
    I edit each movie and from the first one I got 19 clips and together 5 min 23 seconds.
    Each clip I try to make better with better lights, better sound etc etc using video and audio efects. So I put a lot of work into each clip.
    When I have edited all 10 movies I might have 200 clips and each clip is improved by using different video and movie effects.
    Then I want to make 3 maybe 4 different movies from all the clips. For some clips I might want to change the effects depending on which movie it will be included in or for some other reason.
    So I want to save each clip with the video and audio effects "open".
    I have got some ideas from Alan and Ann and I have tested to Export from the Workarea.
    So I want to report the results from my tests:
    I have a clip 1 min 40 sec with many diiferent video effects.
    Format: Quick time gives a .mov file and the size was 381 Mbyte. It took around 30 minutes
    Format: Microsoft avi gives a .avi file and the size was also 381 Mbyte and took same time.
    Format: H.264 gives a .mp4 file and the size is only 40 Mbytes but took same time.
    Format: MPEG4 gives a .3gp file with size 2.2 Mbytes.   
    When you export to media you choose Format and Preset plus you have 100 other different parameters that you can change.
    When you click OK Adobe Media Encoder starts up. Here you can change Format and Preset and you can also duplicate the order to make a new file and make files with different Formats.
    .mov file, .avi file and .mp4 file gave in my opinion same quality but the 3gp file was very blurred. I could import all the 3 first formats into Premiere Pro CS4 BUT the video and audio effects were deleted. The effects had affected the new movies so that is kind of OK but I had hoped the new movies should contained the effectinformation so I could change the effect for each clip depending of which final movie it should be in.
    The Premiere Pro CS4 is a fantastic tool and a user can taylor his own "clipboard" with his style and make and save his own tools (effects).
    Maybe there is a function to save an original clip together with its video and audio effects so it easy can be used and reused.
    I have learned a lot today and I hope someone else has found these posts interesting and wants to dig deeper into the subject.
    Thanks everyone!

  • How to save a clip with a transparent background?

    How do i save a clip with a transparent background to export to quicktime and then be able to import it back into my timeline and have it be able to overlay ontop of another clip? Transparent clip is for lower third

    For transparency to work, you need to save it in a format that has an alpha channel. Not sure if FCE supports the Animation codec but if it does you'll want your material as "millions of colors +". The "+" means Alpha.

  • How to save split clips

    After "Split Clip"ing a video scene, how do I save the individual clips as separate files on my hard drive?

    A.T. Romano....
    I'm using PE 4.  The original source are 20+ years of video tapes.  Some are 8mm up to 2 hours in length. Some are DV tapes of an hour in length.  I'm using PE 4 "Split Clip" function to split these captured videos into varies lengths.  These are home videos so most average a few min in length.  But some can be as long as 30+min or as shorter than a minute.
    In creating the project, the project settings ar NTCS-DV-Standard 48 KHZ
    Wine Snob....
    I deselected "recompress" and the rendering time went down to 4:1 (Four minutes video: 1min rendering) just as you suggested.  Am I losing anything (picture quality) by deselecting "recompress"?
    All.....
    I'm Spliting/saving these 20+ years of video thinking this is the best way to preserve, catalog, index these videos.  But I'm open to other suggestions or better ideas.  Ideally, it would be nice to have 20+ years of video saved that is searchable by things like date, persons, events, etc...

  • How to Cut, Label, Save sports clips (40Hours, 500GB, 1080p AVCHD Source) for creating season highlight video in Premiere Elements 13?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide to help me.
    I have filmed all of my son's basketball games this season and we are heading into the playoffs soon. I would like to find an efficient way to cut, label, and save video clips to create a highlight movie for the team banquet.
    All video is AVCHD and saved on hard drive. A few games were recorded with a Sony camcorder 1920x1980i30(*.mt2s), the rest with my Canon DSLR1920x1080p30(*.mov). I will have about 35 or 40 hours of video by the end of the season. Probably around half a terabyte.
    I own licenses to the following video editors.
    Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 13 that I just purchased bundled with Photoshop Elements 13.
    I struggled with burning AVCHD disks with the Sony software, so did the Adobe trial and everything worked great so I bought it.
    I went through one game and clipped the highlights, but can't figure out how to label them, or export them as individual highlight files.  I guess I would be OK doing this all in a single project if I knew that it would work, and if I could find a way to label the clips so that I can arrange them without having to preview the clip every time.
    I am open to using other tools if they don't cost too much, free would be awesome since I don't do this professionally.
    Thanks!

    GreatFun,
    Yes, while I couldn't spend much time today at work reviewing the link ATR provided, at a high level I like ATR's approach as well, and it definitely is advantageous for that use case and rendering only the final product. My use case is a bit different. My son's high school webcasts each match which I then pull off their Youtube channel (with their permission, of course) and use their camera angles and their play-by-play guys commentary (again, with permission) to augment my video (which are closer to the action and much better quality than theirs, I must say). The kids get a kick out of hearing the play-by-play guy yell their name when the score or make a great play. So that is why I produce my clips separately. To me it is cleaner and I can store them for later use outside PE or any other project.
    Anyway, regarding the actual shooting of the video. I've been doing this for awhile and there are two elements that are a must for any soccer shoot: a good solid tripod with fluid panning ability, and height. Getting above the action (like atop bleachers), for the most part, is an advantage most of the time. That is why professional sports are shot from above. While I do like to take a few minutes of every game to get on the sidelines and film at field level (this adds a bit of variety to the finished product, and you can't beat the ambient sounds you get when the players grunt and groan), you just can't capture the flow of the game from that angle.
    The purpose of your video will dictate your composition. Are you trying to always focus on one player (one particular forward, back, midfielder or keeper) and get their every move (for the purpose of say, college recruitment purposes), regardless of where the ball or action is? If so, you'll want to stay tight on them, but not too tight - know where the action is and use the rule of thirds here with your subject player always in the left or right most third. Let the action, in this case, the ball, enter from the opposite third your player is in to allow the viewer to see a glimpse of what led up to your subject being engaged with the action. If your subject is a keeper, that is the easiest position to focus on of all. When filming just a keeper, I like to set my tripod up along the touch line about 30 yards from the goal line (again, elevated if possible), compose the shot using thirds again so as to let the viewer see the passing action as the goal is attacked. Its great to get a clip of the keeper making a save, but it can be much more impressive and entertaining to a viewer to see how it all unfolds and the choices the goalie has to make to be in the right position to make the save.
    If your intent is to film the action where the ball is, regardless of the player or team that has the ball (like most professional sports coverage), it is much better to cast a wide composition. As you mention, it is difficult to find that sweet spot between being too far out and missing the intimacy, or being too close in and simply giving the viewer a headache as the shots zip around as you try and follow the ball. I've found the sweet spot for me is to shoot always keeping a quarter of the pitch in view. This allows for tight enough composition to keep the viewer engaged with the action, without having to jerk the shot around so much as to make them throw up. Soccer is quite fast paced at the high school level and there is quite a bit of "switching the field", where a wing will lob the ball completely across the width of the field to the opposite wing. If you are in too tight, you'll have to pan very quickly to the receiving side, and if done a lot, will not make for very entertaining viewing. There are other examples of why you shouldn't be too tight, but you get the idea.
    I've probably written too long a post as it is for this forum, but I hope I've given you some things to consider on your next shoot.
    Good health to you!

  • How do I save individual clips?

    How do I save clips without saving an entire project?
    I take video of stock car races and I need to save crash clips to make a crash video at the end of the season. I don't have the room to save all the videos from all the nights of racing. I just want to save the clips to a file. Can someone please tell me how to do that in CS3?
    I used to use Premiere 6.5 and it was not an issue. I have just started using CS3 and don't see Save Clip As on the menu.
    Thanks
    Tonya

    Place the video clip in the source monitor and mark your in/out points around the clip you want to keep. Then, with the source monitor still selected, chose File > Export > Movie. Then, in the export options choose "In to Out" instead of "Entire Clip." You have to set the in/out points and export one at a time (no batch options here).
    Another way to approach this is to set your in/out points in the source monitor, drop the clips on the timeline one after the other and then use the project manager function to export a trimmed project. This will actually go through and save an individiual file for each of the clips on the timeline. There's only one "gotcha" here, you just need to make sure that you have a good amount of space trimmed from the original video between each clip (needs to be at least 5-10 frames in my experience...if you add handles in the project manager settings, you need to account for that duration between clips as well).
    For example, if you have a crash scene at 01;11;00;00 until 01;11;30;00, but your next scene begins at 01;11;31;00 you will probably want to trim some frames off one clip or the other, or else it will become a single clip.
    Make sense?
    Good luck!

  • How can I save a clip for later use?

    When I am editing a project and going through my footage I often find a short clip that I'd like to use maybe later in the timeline or possibly to use in a different project. How can I do that?
    This may be obvious but I want to rename and save that clip somewhere (I'm assuming the event library) so do I have to create a new clip from the original and save it or what?
    Again, sorry of this is basic but its these litle things that seem to be the hardest to find out but make the biggest difference to the workflow and editing speed.
    Cheers

    If this is a one-off thing, mark the clip as a Favorite.

    This is not Adobe. We are Premiere Elements users trying to help other Premiere Elements users with their Premiere Elements workflows. Under those conditions, only Adobe may have the opportunity to access your computer in troubleshooting session between you and them. You can use the following link to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=using-my-product-or-se rvice
    When the link opens, click on the statement "I still need help" to bring up Adobe Chat.
    I have no idea if they will charge you a fee for the service ($40 US dollar/hour). It might not even help you (fee or no fee) because you do not have the latest version of Premiere Elements.
    What you ask is easy enough. Let me try again with a step by step to see if we can get this working for you in principle and then fine tune the details.
    1. Export your Timeline to a file, using Publish+Share/Computer and then one of the choices
    Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, AVCHD, AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, Audio. I do not know what your project settings are, but I am going to guess at NTSC/AVCHD/Full HD1080i30. That would represent 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second.
    The following is going to be a mini test run in principle so we will cut to the core and overlook some things.
    Go to Publish + Share/Computer/AVCHD/ and set Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30.
    Note that there is a field for Save In: near where you set Presets. Set the Save In for Libraries/Documents not C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe  Premiere Elements 11. Keep out of the Program Files for matters such as these.
    Go to the Elements Organizer 12 File Menu/Get Photos and Videos/From Files and Folders and then browse to and select your MP4 file that you have saved in Libraries/Documents.
    You now should have your video represented in the Elements Organizer 12 with a thumbnail.
    Please let us know if that works for you. If not, then please let us know where you need supplemental help to get the task completed. I will re-write if necessary.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thank you.
    ATR
    Add On...A little side note for later...If you took your file saved to the computer hard drive and imported that back into Premiere Elements with Premiere Elements' Add Media/Files and Folders, you would get
    a. the file imported into a new project
    but also
    b. a copy of the file automatically placed in the Elements Organizer 12.
    If the ideas seem overwhelming, please take the steps on one at a time and follow exactly what is written. You should do fine.

  • I am trying to figure out how to save/share only a clip out of an entire project.

    I am trying to figure out how to save/share only a clip out of an entire project. I do not want to delete the rest of the timeline as I want to cut/copy out several smaller clips and save/share them as their own files.  I am working on a copy of my original video, and I know I can just bring the project timeline down repeatedly to isolate this clip by deleting all else, but feel there must surely be a simple way to do this.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    For now I will generalize the principles involved. If more details needed then, please supply the details of your situation and Timeline track placement.
    You would place the gray tabs of the WorkArea Bar to span just the area to be exported.
    The tabs are set...
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the start of the segment, hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you hit the left bracket key [
    then
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the end of the segment, hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you hit the right bracket key ]
    The critical step is to make sure that you have a check mark next to the "Share Work Area Bar Only" option in the export dialog (if the dialog has that option).
    Please review and remember that the answers are in the details.
    Thanks.

  • Looking for Help on How To Save Video as Divx File

    Can someone help? I have iMoive 4.0.1 and I need to save video clips as a Divx file. I go to the "share" button and try to compress the clip for Quicktime and choose expert settings. This gives me a list of options including Divx AVI. When I choose this option, the file is turned into an .avi file not a .divx file. ANd there is no other Divx choice available. I have talked to another iMovie user (v4.0.1., too) and--the odd thing--on his option list he has Divx (not Divx AVI). So I need assistance in either finding another way to do this with my existing 4.0.1. or finding a plug-in that will allow me to save as a Divx file. Or--if no one can tell me how to do this--let me ask if anyone out there knows whether iMovie HD 5.0 or iMovie 6.0 would allow me to do what I need to do. Thanks.

    Divx isn't a standard option, so you have downloaded some third party support for Divx. Try the latest version.

  • How to create a clipping path in PE12

    I work in Photoshop but am helping a client who has only Elements 12, which I know nothing about other than what looks like PS features.
    We want to create a clipping PATH around part of a photo and save the photo as a JPG so that type wraps around it in our layout program. I can do this in PS CC, but this response (Re: Trying to create a Clipping Path for a Photo In PE10. How is it done?) says PE can save only to PSD or TIF. I have a jpg photo with a clipping path that works fine, but can't get PE to save the clipping path with the jpg.
    Thanks.

    If you don't mind telling us, which layout program are you using?
    Yes, by default creating a Clipping Path in photoshop elements does not exist.
    That's why you would need to create/record an action using photoshop cc and then use the action in photoshop elements using Window>Actions

    For the first question: place one video on top of the other, as a connected clip. Change the size and position as you wish.
    You have many questions that suggest you are very unfamiliar with the application. I think you'd be well served by going through a few online tutorials. All the things you ask are easy and fun to do in FCP X. It is best to learn by seeing it done. Look at rippletraining.com, izzyvideo.com, and others. I am sure you'll find that it will be time well spent.

  • How to save an project in iMovie 10

    I am familiar with iMovies 9 and using OSX 10.6.8.  Unfortunately I have a new MacPro on OS 10.9.2 and iMovie10 (give me back my old MAcbook any day). I have finished making the movie and saved it on the desktop in mp4 format.  All I want to do now  is to find out is how to save the movie I have made so I can possibly get to it again to maybe add/delete things from it. In other words, I simply want to save it -
    how do I do this?
    can I save the movie in m4v format like I did in iMovie 9?
    the mp4 format is 900Mb for 10 min, the 12 minute movie I did in iMovie 9 is 400Mb when both saved as 720p. Why?
    Can you delete iMovie 10 from Mavericks and install iMovie 9
    Many thanks in anticipation from a very frustrated Mac user of 8 years now thinking of going to Windows

    Ok I think I've worked it out (did not know your could share to the theater, the icloud message made me assume theater was just for icloud) but I've another technical question about export quality and pictures in videos.
    I just published four different quality movies (480p, 560p, 720p, 1080p) which only had a few average quality digital pics in them, just to create a short movie to compare.
    I've always assumed that the quality of pictures was handled differently to video in that pictures would be fine quality even with lower quality setting, and the thing that really got hurt by lesser xxxP quality was the moving video not the pictures. But when I resized all four Quicktime movies so they were the same size and put them next to each other I could notice quite a difference in the sharpness between each of them. Since I'd rather have the pictures all used at their best quality will I have to choose the 60GB 1080p export function anyway at some point? It seems like such a waste of space and time when technically there are only about ten frames in the entire clip!
    Surely there's some kind of video encoding language where you can make the file size reflect this? Kinda like what vector graphics did to bitmap formats for image files.
    There must be a way round this ...

Maybe you are looking for
