How to split video files into clips

please help this noob. i have adobe master collection cs3 and i'm totally lost as to how i can take a large video file and split it into various clips... example being a 20 minute fireworks display and i want to split that movie into a few dozen clips of specific fire works events. what package do i use and how might i go about setting the various start and finish markers and then export those chosen clips.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks much
michael

Exporting segments out one at a time is hardly rocket surgery.
At the top of the timeline is a movable bar called the "Work Area Bar". You can set the in and out points of this bar over the area you wish to export, go to "File/Export/Movie" and make sure you have "Work Area Bar" selected rather than "Entire Sequence". Export to the same project settings you're working with. Repeat for each section.

Thanks
Vishwas Sahu

Create 2 internal tables. sat it_header, it_detail
Check for 1st 3 characters and if it is R01 then send it into it_header and if it comes out to be R02 then send it to it_detail.
Once done... You can either attach these tables into mail as two seperate files
Or you can download each internal table using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Hope this helps!!

How to input video files into IMAQ VIs

I have existing mp2 video files (which I could easily convert to other formats) that I would like to input into IMAQ 6.0 VIs to analyze, one frame at a time. Is there a way to grab frames from a video file (without grabbing hardware) to analyze with IMAQ?

There is an example posted on Developer Zone that will allow you to read back and analyze individual frames from an AVI file (search for IMAQ AVI Read Write Example). If you can convert your MPEG files into AVI files, you should have no problem analyzing the images using IMAQ Vision.
Bear in mind that the MPEG file formats use lossy compression - that is information present within the original images will be lost as part of the MPEG compression process. This may affect the quality of the images that you will be analyzing with IMAQ Vision.
NI has never directly supported the analysis of "movie" files for this reason (the use of compression in the file generation process). The IMAQ Vision software tools are generally targetted towards "machine vision applicati
ons" i.e. where the camera is connected directly to a frame grabber and then processed in software. That being said, I've used this example previously and it should prove a good starting point for your work.

In the example, I've given 5 records to split. If you want 50 records to split, then instead of 5 give 50 in the constant.

How to Split Master File into Multiple Small Files?

Sorry if this has been addressed - I'm having a hard time finding the answer.
I'm using FCE 4.0. I taped 4 hours of material and need to deliver the footage to someone in discrete chunks. I tried to do in/out capture but for some reason that wasn't working - something to do with the timecode. So I did full tape dumps.
So now I have 4 huge files (4 miniDV tapes) that are too big to deliver as-is. I used DV Start/Stop Detect to set markers, then used that to create sub-clips. But of course this doesn't actually affect the master scratch files.
What's the best way to convert these sub-clips to individual mov files? If I do an export of each file ("Using QuickTime Conversion..."), don't I risk losing information or possibly quality? Isn't there some way to highlight all my sub-clips in the bin and say "Mega-Chop Activate!" or something?
Or, taking a step or two back, if there's another way I should've approached this, please let me know. There'll be more. Plenty more.
Thank you.

I'm burning mov source to DVD for FC editing by someone else.
Your second set of questions actually gives me some ideas - that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out.
As an example, let's say 1 tape, i.e. 1 master file, holds 5 interviews. I want to deliver 5 individual files/clips, say 3 on DVD A, 2 on DVD B. (Assume for the sake of argument that the math works out and there's no other way to deliver this.)
- Does creating a different project for each "chunk" result in a different file in the scratch folder that can be burned to DVD?
- Does "Print to Video" create QT files? I thought this output back onto tape.
- By "Export to QuickTime" are you referring to Export->QuickTime Movie (as opposed to Export->Using QuickTime Conversion)?
- Does Export->QuickTime Movie result in lossy conversion or does it automatically retain the original capture quality?
- Is there a way to do all 5 exports at once or must they be done individually?
Thanks for the fast response!

How to import video file into the stage?

I did follow the instructions on Adobe help site, but when I'm trying the import menu and brows to the file (xxxx.mp4) location I find it "gray" (dimmed). What's wrong?

What Captivate version are you using? How exactly are you trying to insert the video? I know you said "I did follow the instructions on Adobe help site but when I'm trying the import menu." I'm a bit confused because you don't add video via the Import menu. At least, you don't do it this way if you have a generic video you want to include. If that's what you need, try clicking the Video menu and choosing Insert Video.
I'm wondering if you are trying the "CPVC" slide thing. And that's for importing a "CaPtivate Videeo Capture" that you used Captivate to create.
Cheers... Rick

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
NKC

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.

How do I combine separate audio and video files into one Quicktime movie?

I have DVDs that contain separate audio and video files in folders marked Audio_TS and Video_TS. I would like to know how to combine these files into a single Quicktime movie. Is there inexpensive or shareware software that imports and unites these files reliably? A simple solution is preferred, rather than getting into complex media editing applications.
G4 eMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Doug - the VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder) are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 have the video and audio mixed into the one file - there are no audio files to combine.
The rest are directions to a DVD player (e.g. the BUP and IFO's) . The AUDIO_TS folder is used for DVD Audio discs and on video DVDs is always empty.
Many people use Handbrake or iSquint to convert VOB to iPod video though MPEG Streamclip is the best - open the first numbered VOB and it will prompt you to open all of them. ALWAYS fix timecodes when it asks. You can then edit/trim and export to MPEG-4.

How do i import a video file into my iPad?

Connect your device to your computer.
In iTunes left Pane, click your ipad under Device. On right Pane, click Movie Tab. Check box Sync Movies, then check the movie you want it to be sync, then click the Sync button at the lower right wimdow.

Splitting large video files into small chunks and combining them

Hi All,
Thank you for viewing my thread. I have searched for hours but cannot find any information on this topic.
I need to upload very large video files. The files can be something like 10GB in size, currently .mpeg format but they may be .mp4 format later on too.
Since the files will be uploaded remotely using using internet from the clients mobile device (3G or 4G in UK) I need to split the files into smaller chunks. This way if there is a connection issue (very likely as the files are large) I can resume the upload without doing the whole 10gb again.
My question is, what can I use to split a large file like 10Gb into smaller chunks like 200mb, upload the files and then combine them again? Is there a jar file that I can use. i cant install stuff like ffmpeg or JMF on the clients laptops.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Imran

There is a Unix command called split that does just that splits a file into chunks of a size you specify. When you want to put the bits bact together you use the command cat.
If you are comfortable in the terminal you can look at the man page for split for more information.
Both commands are data blind and work on binary as well as text files so I would think this should work for video but of course check it out to see if the restored file still works as video.

How To Divide Source File Into Smaller Files Without Exporting?

Hello Everyone,
I'm a beginner with PPro CS4 and to video editing in general. I've done a lot of Googling and searching of these forums to get an answer to this question, but I haven't found a clear answer. Here's my problem:
I have many hours of HDV footage shot over the past few years with a Canon HV30. This footage is on dozens of DV tape cassettes. I want to capture most of it to disk.
When I capture a tape to disk, I get a single large mpeg4 file. (PPro captures all HDV footage to mpeg4.) "Scene select" doesn't work with the HV30, so my only other way to make smaller capture files would be to set In/Out points with batch capture. But this would mean hours of fast-forwarding and reversing with the VCR-like controls on the camera to review all the tapes and set the points. I thought it might be FASTER to simply capture an entire tape in one operation, THEN review the captured tape within PPro (it's much faster using the scrubber), and dividing that file into smaller files within PPro, thereby avoiding all the mechanical fast-forwarding and rewinding on the camera itself.
But the only way I can find to do this seems to involve EXPORTING clips. Am I wrong to think that exporting a clip to a new file involves a degradation of the original mpeg4 source file? Or will there be no loss to the quality if I simply export to mpeg4 format?
It seems there should be an easy way to simply divide the original capture into smaller source files for later editing, without putting the footage through another generation of processing (exporting), which might entail some loss of quality. Or am I wrong about this?
(CS4 Master Suite, i7 3630k, 16GB RAM, C: 256GB SSD, D: 1T Setpoint F3, E: 1T Setpoint F3)

HDV footage is mpeg2 (whats in a number ). CS4 does not do scene detect you need to use HDV split for that.
http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm.
You can run your already captured files through hdv split and it will chop the file into clips and off you go.

Combine/Split Video files

What is the best way to combine or split video files? I have found a third party program that will do this (ScenalzyerLive), but I would think that Adobe Premiere or Photoship could to this as well. My understanding is that Premiere does not actually change the root file, which is what I want to do. I am less concerned about using Premiere to create great videos to burn to a dvd than to quickly combine my short videos into one video file (i.e. 13th birthday). Conversely, I would like to split my long videos that are 2 hours long from my old, old 1992 camcorder (Sony Video 8 TRV21 Handycam with .avi files) into much shorter segments.
With technology today, I think a lot of people simply want to combine and split videos instead of create great transitions from one scene to another. Espceially now that you can use remote into your computer from your iphone to play videos (i.e through AirVideo). Ease of finding relevant and organized clips is getting more important.

The reason I change the original file is that I can watch my videos from my
iPhone or iPad remotely (i.e. through the AirVideo app) in an organized
manner. I currently have nearly a terabyte of video that obviously cannot
be stored on my iPhone or iPad. Therefore,if I am away from my house and want
to show someone my child's soccer game, I don't like having to remote into my
home computer to play 30 clips (files), versus one clip (file) that was
combined. I think with "the cloud" direction we are going, and more and more
people watching videos remotely.
My editing of the original files is not extensive. I simple cut out parts of
scenes I don't want, and combine others. ScenalyzerLive 4.0 does this very
well.
Since there is not an Adobe PRE app that allows me to watch videos remotely,
this is the best alternative.

How to add PDF files into a slides? (Flash 8)

I am new to flash and I am using Macromedia Flash 8. My task is simple enough: I need create a Presentation with Screens from PDF files: I have 10-12 PDF files which I want convert into flash presentation.
I have read this tutorial:
http://w3.id.tue.nl/fileadmin/id/objects/E-Atelier/Phidgets/Software/Flash/fl8_tutorials.p df
Chapter 11: Basic Tasks: Create a Presentation with Screens.
I'm having trouble how to add PDF files into a slides: I want insert a whole pdf file as separate slide, without splitting pdf file into separate elements: pictures, text, etc. I tried import pdf file into Flash, wheen import there is shown prompt how program should process this pdf file(add in stage, library, as keyframes, etc) , not clear which option is correct for my task. What I got is pdf file splitted into multiple images, text, - which is not what I want. I want keep PDF files without changes, preserve original design and formatting, just convert this pdf into flash, so presentation will consist of PDFs organized in correct order, then add navigation buttons and some effects. How to solve this task?

Just to avoid potential confusion... PDF is an Adobe format, but Flash 8 is/was not. Flash 8 came out before Adobe bought Macromedia. Even today, I don't believe anything has been done to accomodate direct integration of PDF content in Flash.
