Inserting video clips

My group are fairly new ussers of Vis. Com.  Today we inserted video clips into a program and immediate were given the message that the program was not responding and would close.  Three hours later we tried to open that program and review it to be given the same message.  Does processing a video clip need this much time or have we overlooked some detail?

Actually, no, that's not how I did it . . . I used the advanced tools/replace clip feature.  It took me a while to figure out though, it's not explained clearly in the app help, but you have to separate longer clips to isolate the section you want to replace.  Then choose a section from the  replacement clip that's  the same  length, with accurate in and out points so it lines up with the existing audio track (if that's a factor)... sometimes needs some trial and error to make it work, but the results are exactly what I'm looking for.  Thanks for the reply, the 'cutaway clip' thing looks good too!

  • Inserting video clip and have both audios at once

    Hi everyone, hopefully somone can help answer my question.  My friend has a video blog and the person who used to do all of his technical stuff is no longer with him, so he's trying to figure it all out, and I figured I'd try to help him.
    In iMovie, does anyone know how to insert a video clip into the main video clip and have the inserted video being shown on the screen but the audio of both videos playing at the same time, with no break in continuity of the main video's audio?  Then, how to transition from the inserted video with both audios playing at the same time back to just the main video, again with no breaks in audio continuity?  I know it's possible on FinalCut Pro, because that is what his tech person used, but for some reason that program freezes my friend's computer, so he's stuck with iMovie for now.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply devbear11.  You ALMOST got what I was asking for.  I'm sorry if my wording is confusing, lol.  Everything you said is great, EXCEPT that  I want to KEEP the audio on the inserted video in ADDITION to the audio on the original clip.  So to break it down....
    - Main video clip is playing.
    - Segue into the inserted video clip.  Have the screen be showing the inserted video clip and have it be playing it's own audio, WITHOUT interrupting the audio of the original/main video.
    - Inserted video clip plays on the screen and you hear both the audio of the inserted video clip in addition to whatever my friend is saying on the main audio....To give you an example, my friend blogs about figure skating.  So he will be discussing a competition and the screen is showing him at his desk talking about the different skaters.  While he is discussing a certain skater, he may input a clip of their performance and you will see and hear them skating to their music, but still be able to hear him discussing it uninterrupted in the background.
    - Once the inserted clip ends, the video switches back to my friend at his desk, with his commentary uninterrupted.
    Am I making sense? lol

  • Premiere Elements 3.0_stops inserting video clips?

    Hi I hope someone can help me out here. When I'm adding mini video clips, it stops after a point which is no where near even half a dvd let alone a full one, and says 'adobe system memory low', cannot add any more save project. 
    What gets me is that my PC is has plenty of gb memory on it, do I need to do something in settings so it will take more video clips?  Its really frustrating, my husband bought me this as a 40th present 2 years ago and I haven't been able to create a finished dvd properly because what I want to create is stopped by premiere with this system low, save project message, there is no way near the amount of clips I could get onto a dvd.  Any ideas please???  Thanks

    First, have you update your version 3 with the version 3.02 patch? This is very important -- especially if you are working on a system running other than Windows XP.
    Second, I'm not quite clear where things are failing for you. Are you saying you're capturing miniDV over FireWire and that the program won't capture any further? If not, what type of camcorder is your video coming from and how are you getting it into your computer?
    How fast is your processor, how much RAM do you have and how much free space is left on your C drive? Are you capturing your video to your C drive or to another drive?
    You will likely need at least 20-30 gigs of free space on your C drive -- and it's very important that this drive be freshly defragmented. Fragmentation can cause the very symptoms you're describing, since the program need large chunks of free hard drive space for its paging and scratch files.

  • Cannot insert  video clip source in adobe premiere cs5

    I've been working on a large documentary piece. Have been using the insert button in the source window successfully for some time.
    Was adding footage from a friend who used a Sony HD camcorder. Clip plays and editts but was able to insert only one edit.  Now all clips are unable to insert.
    I can drag and drop the editted segments into the timeline but is not as effective as the insert button.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Jim,
    Knocking my head over this I have seen that this is a problem occurring with user problems on the net not only to me. I found that when I opened a copy of the file from another drive I was able to insert without a problem. UNTIL! I had to replace 3 video inserts because I moved the files to another folder. I wanted to add another insert to the timeline track I just replaced and again no video insert function.
    Targeted track meaning the A is greyed on the track I am working on , is this correct?   I am unfamiliar with the term patch but will now search help.
    I do hope this can be resolved, dropping into the timeline, though works will complicate my flow tremendously.
    I thank you for any help you can send my way.

  • Inserting video into templates

    I am extremely new to AE. I have CS6 and am trying to learn it on my own... but it's very complicated.
    I have a template I am working with that I want to insert video clips into. The template has jpegs that say "insert photo or video here". How do I swap the jpeg with the video clip without losing the keyframes and effects? I'm not well-versed enough to just re-do them all. I am using the templates to learn the program but to also build a few videos for the non-profit I work for.
    Another thought I had was if it was possible to copy all the attributes/effects/keyframes from one media piece to another. So if I were to add the video clip to the composition and copy the attributes from the template photo to the video clip I just added and then make the template photo invisible. But I haven't been able to figure that out. :/
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the world of After Effects! As you've noticed, it can be pretty complicated. I highly recommend that you start here. That is a set of resources specifically curated to help people new to AE get started off on the right foot.
    To your question, this page in the AE help has what you need. It says to select the layer you want to replace in the Timeline panel then Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) your new footage item from the Project panel onto the selected layer in the Timeline panel.

  • Importing video clips into slide shows

    I often insert video clips into slide shows.  They mix nicely with pan and zoom still photos.  However, the type of video clips that can be inserted is very restricted.  Why is this?
    Elements can deal with a wide variety of video formats but, as far as I can see, only AVI and WMV videos can be imported into slide shows.  Compact digital cameras typically use AVI, MOV and MP4 formats.  My camera produces MPG videos, which I cannot import.  I have to convert the clips into AVI format and reimport these into Organiser etc - which is very fiddly. I am considering buying a new camera that produces AVI video clips as standard.
    Why is the choice of video formats so limited? I cannot find a list of allowable formats on the Adobe site.

    Hi David
    Thanks for this. I tried that, but again, Streamclip only imported content from the first clip, ignoring the rest...on further inspection, all the VOB files were sub-divisions of the the first item (in essence, the system had chopped up the first recording into sections and formatted them as VOB files, but failed to do that for the remaining content of the DVD).
    I booked an appt with a Mac Genius today and he downloaded Handbrake and this appears to be the way forward - you can isolate any of the content from the DVD, and save into either avi or mp4 files. I currently don't need Streamclip, since after my selection's been saved unto the desktop it can be dragged into iMovie and edited from there. I'll be keeping Steamclip though...after all of the aggro, it seems to good to be true!
    Thanks again for responding to my query. Really appreciated that you took the time.

  • Inserting image in video clip

    How do I maintain the original soundtrack of the video clip and insert a photo with transitions on either end of the insertion? I can achieve this procedure with success without the transitions but as soon as I try to add the transitions the audio of the original video clip goes out of synchronization? Is this possible?

    Welcome to the discussions.
    Most (but not all) transitions uses footage from both clips. For instance, a one second transition uses 1 second footage from clip A and overlaps with one second from clip B, making the movie one second shorter.
    So it you make the still two seconds longer than the clip you remove, you can add two one-second transitions and wind up with the audio in sync.

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

  • Inserting video between two clips

    Hi does anyone know how to insert video between two clips without erasing some of the two clips. I want to insert and have the other clips just make room for the new clip, extending the timeline the necessary amount. I thought you could just drag it in but it keeps erasing the existing footage in the timeline. Any advise would be awesome

    Make sure the playhead is parked between two clips, and drag the clip from the browser/viewer to the canvas, dropping it on the "insert" box in the edit overlay. Or you could drag the clip from the viewer/browser to the timeline but make sure the arrow that appears is facing to the right, not down.

  • 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.

  • Inserting Stopwatch/Timer (1/100 seconds) Into Video Clip

    Hi, I would like to insert a stopwatch/timer into a video clip that will start at a specific point and will measure the elapsed time in one hundredths of a second. I have tried using the Adobe Premiere SMPTE timecode video effect but it only counts upwards in seconds. With the Premiere SMPTE timecode the numbers to the right of the seconds are the frame count numbers and not tenths and one hundredths of a second. I am not sure if I need to use an overlay video of a timer or if it can be done with an Adobe Premiere video effect or imported object? The video is 25fps PAL and is of a sporting event where fractions of a second play a role. Any help most appreciated. Rgds

    Fuzzy,
    Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for. Is that a custom timecode or is it a native timecode in After Effects?
    I will look into installing the After Effects application if it is a native timecode?
