How to Select Part of Video Timeline?

I'm just starting to learn Adobe Premiere Elements 11. Basic operations are pretty intuitive so far, but how would I select a part of a video clip timeline and cut this, so I could paste it elsewhere?

How to fit part of video in custom selection

Ok let me brightly explain what I want to do. So lets say I have a 720p or 480p video and i want to cut out a few seconds of it and fit in selected area 320x480 without deforming sizes.
Here's a picture of what im imgainating: (you tell me if this is possible)
Red selection is my 320x480 and background is our video. The point is to capture the walking couple into that selection while keeping its orginal size (no reforming - longer legs etc.)
What im trying to say that our target is always bigger or sometimes smaller and its ?impossible? to fit it in whatever size we want without deforming.
Im trying to make a perfect loop animations that can be used as live wallpapers on android but its not looking good when faces are squished etc. Exporting normal size video and croping every single layer is uneffective pain in ***.
Please help me im total begginer in AAE or Premiere.

I Honestly have no idea what you are talking about. how would anyone be able to force fit something into a predefined are without defirmations if the aspect ratio doesn't match that of the original image section? You are looking for something that is simply in a technical sense impossible. Beyond that - seriously simply learn to use the tools before complaining about them.

Cannot figure out how to select 'part' of footage to work on. Must be an answer.

You guys have always been helpful, that is for sure. I am just stumped and after watching more video tutorials than I can shake a stick at, I am throwing my hands up to ask question.
Say I have 90 seconds of footage in one shot. It is a DSLR shot. I want just five seconds of that footage to be warp stabilized. Just five seconds. The same five seconds used in my edit (in Premiere Pro CS5 timeline).
I have AE 5.5 installed as a trial. So I cannot open the piece of footage into AE.
So when I try and take the full original file/clip that piece of footage came from and open it into AE, I am unable to find a way to just select the footage I want to use Warp Stabilizer on.
Is this making sense? It wants to analye the entire file.
In Premiere Pro it is EASY to select footage. Piece of cake, right down to the frame.
No matter what I do, AE wants to analyze all 1 zillion frames from the entire DSLR footage. I just want to stabilize 5 seconds.
So I know I am an indiot. The answer is right there, but I cannot find it. I have worked two days trying to figure this out.
What I have been forced to do is export each little clip I want stabilized from Premiere Pro as an uncompressed file. God, what a nightmare.
Please, somebody point me to the answer. I beg of you.

This page should tell you how to do it.
Although, you should also be able to copy and paste the clip from Premiere into AE and it'll already be trimmed to how you want it.
Since you're just starting out with AE, I would highly recommend you go here and check out some of those resources to start you off on the basics.

How to select parts of a clip in a project in iMovie 10.0.1

In the previous version of iMovie partial clip selection was possible just by dragging a left click over a clip within the movie clip project. Now in iMovie 10.0.1 the same left click dragging over the clip it's just for moving the entire clip to another position.
The only place where I was able to select a portion of any given clip is in the Event window, on the imported clips section.
Is it possible to select portions of a clip that it's already embeded into a movie clip project?
Thanks to all for your answers.

Further to Karsten's advice, position the skimmer (or the playhead) within the clip where you want to start your selection. Now click and hold down the mouse button (or trackpad). As you do this you will firstly see that the whole clip is highlighted with a thin yellow border. While still holding down on the click, you will then see a wider yellow vertical line on the clip, being the start point - drag this to mark your selection. Release the mouse button (or trackpad) once you've reached the end point of your selection.
If you wish to delete the segment that you've highlighted, just press the Delete key on the keyboard. Otherwise perform whatever other actions are available from the Modify menu item.
The key is to not release the mouse button after clicking on the clip. The selection border will appear within a millisecond after clicking and holding.

How to select part of a string?

Hi,
I have the following string from a cli command output:
630860 packets input, 624821204 bytes, 0 no buffer
I want to select the number of bytes which is of a variable length. Is there a way to do this with the action string commands? I couldn't get this to work for me.
Kind regards,
Ryan

Ok this works.
What do the ( ) brackets indicate? I had tried a similar string in the past but I didn't have these brackets.

Fcpx - after selecting part of a clip, marking in and out, pressing the e key does not add it to the timeline. what do I do?

At the Mac store they showed me how to select part of the clip, Mark in an out, and then use the key board shortcut, the E, to move back down to the end of the timeline. At home it refuses to do that. I can't even drag it down. I am using Snow Leopard, not lion. Can anybody tell me why I can't get the material down to the timeline except as an entire clip?

I was stuck in this exact same position yesterday, and wow was it ever frustrating. I can't remember the exact steps I stumbled upon to figure it out, but basically you need to create a "project" (not a "sequence" like you'd think - there is no "new sequence" command in FCP X) and that "project" will in fact be the sequence you are able to add your selections to.
The same real estate the sequence lives in is also where the "project library" lives, which will overtake your sequence if invoked - look to make sure the film reel icon at the bottom left of the screen is not active (blue). If it is active, click it to make the project libary go away.
I'm still struggling with FCP X as a long time professional FCP 7 user, and from what I've read this isn't uncommon. Best of luck getting past these fisrt few awkward hurdles and onto the actual editing (which, I have to say, so far I am having a hard time being precise or creative with).

FCP X, Can I select part of a sequence to make a DVD

A client gave me his camcorder and asked me to transfer the footage to DVD. I've got over 4.5 hours on the time line and still have lost more to do. Can I select part of the timeline to make a DVD (say by year)? Is there a better way to do this, perhaps create a file like a .mov and put it on a drive that they could connect to a TV if that's even possible.
I'm open to all suggestions.

FCPX 10.0.6
I haven't seen any docs that say you can share anything less than a "project". I just tried it here: opened a project, selected two discontiguous clips, and clicked Share to DVD. It created a DVD image of the whole Project. Same thing happened when I shared a 720p version to iTunes -- it created a video of the whole project/timeline.
Why not create a new Project for each DVD you want to create?
(The first sentence of the second paragraph of my earlier post may been confusing. The raw materials belong in the Event library as one or more Events. A Project is what you want to deliver to the 'customer'. Several Projects can be built from one or more Events. "tplynchy" may want to produce a DVD of clips from "1998", so desirable segments from the camcorder tape's event(s) should be assembled into a Project named "1992" and then shared in one or more forms.
(There should never been 4.5 hours of material in a project's Timeline.)

How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
Thanks!

Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
Much appreciated.

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

How do I add a video effect to multiple clips in my timeline at once?

or... you can command click to select all the clips you want to apply the effect to, then double click the effect in the Effects browser. (PS - you can't simply drag and drop an effect on multiple clip selections, the effect will only be applied to the clip you drop it on -- but double clicking the effect will apply it to all selected clips at once.)

How can I burn just a selected part of the project to DVD?

Afternoon all,
we downloaded a number of clips from our HDV that we wanted to use in making a short movie (1 hour's worth of clips will end up being a movie of about half that length). After doing that, we decided to do a 'preview' of 2 minutes worth of mixed clips (5 in total) with music.....I made a new copy of the whole project and then deleted everything that we didn't want from the original collection of 1 hours worth of downloaded clips so that the project just left 2 minutes worth of clips.
When we tried to burn this 2 minutes to DVD it seemed to be trying to do the whole project including a whole lot of nothing where I've deleted everything.
Could you please tell me how to select only the 2 minutes worth of 5 clips and audio so that I can burn only that bit to DVD and also upload it to YouTube.
A million thanks from a challenged newbie who can't find any instructions for doing this..
JON

Jon,
It sounds like you did, just as you should, Save_As and Delete everything that is unwanted. If you did the Deletion from the Timeline, there should be nothing from the old Project, that should be included. A DVD is Transcoded and burned from the Timeline. If the Assets are not there, they will not included in the DVD, even if you did not Delete anything from the Project Panel.
Tell us about the Clips now on your Timeline. Also, can you check the Timeline, by hitting the \ (Backslash key), and looking near the end of the Timeline. Do you have any "orphans" out there? Check all Video Tracks, even if you have to scroll to see them all. Does the Duration of the Timeline (viewed in the Program Monitor) match what you think that it should? If not, then you most likely have orphans, that you missed Deleteing.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I insert a video clip into the timeline?

Do you happen to know how I could insert a video clip into the middle of a movie like you do in FCP? Can you add tracks and insert the clip above the spot i need to change for each movie.
I don't want to render the whole movie (convert it into a MPeg2) each time.

No - DVD timelines are a little different to FCP. If you need to add a clip to the stream, you need to split the exisitng clip (you could trim it back to where you want to insert the new piece) and drag the new piece onto the same timeline. If you trimmed the existing piece then add another instance of it to the timeline and trim the new part from the left until you get to what you want as the out point.
If you have a collection of video clips on your DVDSP timeline, simply dragging a new one on will shuffle the others along appropriately. However, the audio will not shuffle with them, and you'll end up moving it all manually.
The very best thing is to create the timeline precisely as you want it in FCP and encode it to MPEG2 before bringing it in to DVDSP. Remember that DVDSP is not an editor, it is a place to assemble your work - it won't do anything remotely like FCP in that respect.

I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

I am wondering how to zoom into a video in iMovie '09. For example I want to
zoom into a certain part of the video. Is there any way to do this???

Yes.
If you want to see the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool and select the Ken Burns effect. You can set the starting and ending rectangle for your zoom.
If you want to go directly to the zoom, use the Rotate, Crop, KenBurns Tool and select Crop. Set the rectangle to be where you want the zoom.

How to: Select a Specific Timeline Displayed in Project Online when having multiple timelines within the Enterprise Project

Currently I have an Enterprise Project which has 6 custom timelines and I want to know how to select a specific timeline to be displayed on the Project specific SharePoint site.
I'll provide some background for you so you understand my issues... I have created a "template" project with 6 custom timelines. From that project I created multiple new projects - which they all have the 6 custom timelines. These projects are
all stored in the Project Center. The problem I am having is I don't understand how to select a specific timeline to show on the project specific SharePoint site. They all seem to be displaying 1 of the 6 timelines (in no particular order). I was thinking
maybe if I had edited a project and saved it while it was displaying a specific timeline it would display the last selected timeline on the SharePoint site, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.
Is there a way to select a specific timeline to display on the SharePoint site? Also, is there a way for a user to cycle through the numerous timeline view on the project specific SharePoint site?
I await your help!! :)

Michelle_Sm --
I ran into this problem at the company where I used to work. One of our PMs had created multiple Timeline views, and wanted a specific custom Timeline view to show up in the Project Site for that project. I could not see any way to make that
happen. We had one of our SharePoint developers look into the issue, and he could not see any way to make this happen either. So, I am thinking this is not possible to do. But I would gladly welcome others in this forum to tell us the trick,
if there is one! :) Hope this helps.

How to add live action video to the timeline in Adobe Flash CS5?

Hi, I want to make an animation over live action footage, I've looked on the guides and the ones which explain what I need to do are for previous versions of Flash and don't work on CS5.
I'm wondering how I can import a video in to Adobe Flash CS5, so that it plays in the timeline frame by frame? I dont mean putting it on one frame so it will play, but so i can edit objects over the top of the flash in each single frame
Thanks.

So are you saying that you cannot embed the video directly into the main timeline (I don't use CS5) as you could with earlier versions?
Overall I wonder if you are using the wrong tool for the job. Flash is not a video editor and attempts to use it as such often fall short. Adobe After Effects or even a simple video editor may work better:
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html
If that is not an option... how about
.... embed video directly into main timeline... or
... convert video file to .swf, then import .swf... extending timeline as needed..... or
... if vid is short, do frame grab for each frame, save as bitmap, import the series of bitmaps, place them on layer below animation... or
but to keep the video synced to the animation, you'll need to set the Flash doc frame rate to exactly the same as the original framerate of the video. For example, if shot in mini-dv format, the frame rate of the video is 29.97 so the Flash doc frame rate would need to be 29.97 also.
Best of luck,
