Make sub clip from a sequence?

I am a recent convert from FCP and am used to placing multiple clips on a sequence and making sub clips from the sequence.  I shoot a lot of 20 -30 minute interviews and this sub clipping from the time line in FCP was my workflow to select the best sound bites.
What am I missing?
It appears you can only make sub clips from the source window?
Help
Thank you

Thank you, that is so easy - now that you showed me.
Yes as I have several clips from each segment of interviews (especially if they take breaks, or I to need shut off the camera) then I scurb through them all, by subject, which may cross over multiple clips to make sub clips and rate them based on a star system to do final assembly in a new sequence.  If do this in the source monitor I would have to load dozens and dozens of clips, one at a time to preview.
Can you suggest a better workflow?
Maybe with Prelude?  I have not even opened this app yet

  • Easiest was to copy clips from one sequence to another?

    Hi,
    Instead of copy/paste is their a different, quicker way to move clips from one sequence to another?
    Thanks

    Hi Patrick, Your always ready to help
    No that's not what I'm looking to do. (or maybe I just didn't understand what you wrote.)
    What I mean is if I have 4 sequences open and I wanted to move a clip from sequence 2 to sequence 4. What I do now is copy the clip in sequence 2 and go to sequence 4 and paste it.
    Is there a easier way?
    Thanks

  • Export clips from a sequence seperately with effects as a batch export in CS 5.5

    Hi there,
    I'd like to know if there is any possibility to export all clips from a sequence/timeline seperately with all applied effects as a batch export or similar in CS 5.5.
    I know there is a chance to do that via the project manager, but a far as I know this way doesn't include the applied effects on each clip.
    Thanks for your help in advance...
    Marc.

    The only way to export a single clip with effects is to manually set up each individual export.  This applies to all version of PP.

  • Exporting multiple clips from one sequence as separate files.

    Hello fellow editors!
    I have about 100+ video files that I want to cut into shorter clips, edit a bit and then export in a Final Cut friendly format (currently they are AVCHD mts files) to send it to my friend, who is putting the whole movie together.
    I dont want to use Final Cut for this ( I cannot, I have a windows machine) and I was hoping to work with premier CC and media encoder CC.
    There is a way of putting all clips in one sequence and then nesting each one, then you can send them to Encoder CC and it will render them as separate files - thats is just not very productive, nesting clips one by one and it takes forever for Encoder to import sequences.         
    I was wondering if there is a better workflow? I heard that Final Cut has shortcuts to do this very easily, you just click on all those clips in sequence and "batch export" them, which puts them in some place as separate, already cut files.?
    Anything? I love premier, let my feelings be justified!)

    Kevin Monahan ...
    Lucid George is right ... select one trimmed clip, File->Export->Media, you can choose whether in-out or entire clip.
    Select MORE than one clip, you get a completely different export box ...
    These two selections were "exported" from that bin created by dragging the trimmed clips from the timeline to a new bin ... I don't know what else one is supposed to do. You can't even select multiples clips and batch sub-clipping, which would at least cut the steps down.

  • Making sub clips from tracks

    Hi. I am unfamiliar with the Soundtrack interface. I have been editing a lot of sound for a short film in final cut pro. We recorded a large amount of audio for monsters and people, ect. I have the file of all that audio in an OMF file which I can only open in Soundtrack Pro. I've used Soundtrack on a limited level before, but my question is. When I open the OMF file in Soundtrack Pro I 22 tracks of sound not labeled well at all for editing purposes. Also, some tracks are longer ect. Anyways, I need to label all of these tracks and create seperate clips from long takes and such. What's the best way to go about doing this? Hopefully this is clear. Thanks!

    1. Don't cut the subclips too tight. Make them include all the media for each shot, and then edit the pieces of the subclips you want into the timeline.
    2. Do not recapture in iMovie as it captures in the wrong format.
    1. Yes.
    2. Yes. Maybe if you can get a separate monitor if your computer supports that and use that to hold your browser.
    3. No, but you could make 10-15 minutes sequences and put them together in FCE, which may be easier to work with than a one hour timeline.
    4. No.

  • How do I sync the "view size" when I copy clips from one sequence to another in FCE4?

    My idea was to edit an advanced clip in a separate sequence (bad idea) and then copy it into the main sequence, but I ran into an obstacle.
    For a clip to fit the window in Sequence 1 it is shown at 44%, while in sequence 2 it is enough with 22%. Problem is, when I copy a clip from sequence 2 to 1, it appears twice the size. How can I adjust this? The clip from sequence 2 becomes disproportionately big on the screen when copied to sequence 1.
    Thank you for taking your time.

    As Studio X pointed out, you open a huge can of worms when you work with sequences of different specifications, but try this -
    once the clip has been pasted into the sequence, click on it on the timeline so that it is selected. Now Control-click on that clip, and from the drop down menu, choose Remove Attributes.
    When the remove attributes pane opens, check the box for Basic Motion and Distort (if they are not grayed out) and click OK. This should reset the clip size.
    If this is successful, you can do this to multiple clips all at once by selecting them, then clicking on any one of the selected clips and doing the above.

  • How do I make a clip from a finished DVD to post online?

    I would like to make a clip (30 seconds??) from a DVD I made. I would like to show the menus and how they navigate to the DVDs content (main movie). I need to post the clip on my website.
    Can someone get me going in the right direction?
    I know how to make clips of the content but I want to show the menus in the clip also...
    I have iLife 6

    I also have this question. Avid lets you change the frame up/down -  to/from a dissolve point. In other words, I could have a dissolve go "up" at, for example, 5 frames, and then "down" at, say, 15 frames. As it stands now, FCPX only allows you the same amount of frames on either side of the cross-dissolve. (A 30-frame dissolve is split 15 frames on either side of the transition.)
    Other NLE's give you the option for a dissolve to occur at the BEGINNING, in the MIDDLE (STANDARD CROSS-DISSOLVE) or at the END of a transition. (Depending, of course, on if you have the "handles" to execute the transition,)
    Can we achieve this in FCPX? Is this where we launch the "precision editor?"

  • Pasting edited clips from SD sequence to HD Sequence

    I've been editing in SD NTSC DV 29.97 and now I'm switching to editing in Pro Res HQ 1080p 23.98. I want to cut and paste some edits from the SD sequences to new HD sequences (source footage is ProRes HQ 1080p converted from HDV on capture) the clips paste in ok and re-size to their native size but the volume on some of the clips goes to zero and the timing changes putting gaps between clips, is there anyway to fix this? I guess its the frame rate change? Its a massive pain to go through and correct it all manually.. Any ideas? thx

    Yeah, it is the frame rate difference. FCP will not do the conversion well. Best to use Compressor to uprez this footage, and convert the frame rate.

  • Make multiple clips from one music track

    How do I trim my music track so that I can edit out parts in the middle--not just the ends?

    do the following:
    1. create the two different instrument tracks, let's say instr1 and instr2
    2. got to the environment window and search these two tracks and drag them a bit aside
    3. choose New/Transformer
    4. drag the Transformer object in the neighberhood of the two instrument tracks
    5. cable the output of instr1 to the input of the transformer object
    6. cable the output of the transformer object to the input of the instr2 track
    7. go back to the arrange window
    8. select instr1 and enjoy!

  • Making sub-clips in a multicam sequence

    Hi,
    I used two cameras conducting while conducting an interview, and I'd like to be able to make sub-clips of the parts I want to use of my multicam sequence.  Is that possible?
    Warm regards,
    Bob Fischer

    I have a similar issue. I have a two camera shoot that I have synched up. I haven't done the multicam edit yet.
    It is of a museum exhibit opening gala. So, there is a linear timeline of singers, speakers, singers, speakers.
    < Clip One --singers -- singers -- speaker -- speaker -- speaker -- singers -- singers -->
    < Clip Two --singers -- singers -- speaker -- speaker -- speaker -- singers -- singers -->
    What I need to do is to take the footage - 35 Minutes - and trim it down to 3 minutes. What I need to do is show singers doing one song (multicam) then fade out the audio, bring up b-roll footage and audio, bring back in singers, fade out singers and bring in speakers (singers as backround audio while speaker speaks) and - this important - speakers are part of the two clips that make up the entire multicam sequence.
    So, I could multicam everything first and then use that footage as my basis for cutting, adding b-roll and cutting entire speeches, songs, etc.
    Or, I could set markers in the original multiclip synched sequence marking the beginnings of each "event" I could use the razor tool and start hacking it up and sliding it around. Then resynch all cut clips from the two sequences and multicam from there.
    Is this clear at all?
    Thanks.

  • Exporting one clip as multiple clips from timeline?

    I've got one piece of media that has half a dozen shots on it.
    I cut the shots on the timeline.
    Is there a way I can export those 'individual' shots separately from that same sequence, or using batch export maybe?
    Or do I have to put each in a separate sequence and then batch export the sequences?
    I did simply make the cuts, drag the separate clips to the bin, and try a batch export ... but of course each separate clip, when exported, became the full piece of media (with all six shots) again.
    I've got a lot of shots to extricate from large chunks of media, so I can run them as separate shots through Color.  I noticed when I 'sent' the separate clips (though still all from the orginal chunk of media) into Color, Color couldn't process them as separate clips, kept getting confused (or it seemed like that was happening).
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated,
    Ben

    Yes!  Thank you Shane.  For some odd reason I haven't had to make sub-clips for years.  I'd forgotten all about that.  I created individual sequences, batch exported from the sequences, but was getting odd results, unpredictable.  Then I exported each clip singly, right from the original timeline ... and had odd problems.  Aha!  So I rebooted FCP ... and everything was working again.  Bad news, trying to do something unfamiliar and FCP has got itself tied in an inivisible little knot.
    Still, the subclips look like the way to go.  Coz then I can batch export ... and go do something else more profitable in the meanwhile, like now, like lunch for instance.
    Thank you Shane, much appreciated...

  • Need suggestions on making sub-clips

    Okay, so here's the situation:
    I did an interview for a documentary I'm making, and want to split up the large file into sub-clips for individual topics. However, when I was reviewing it, I noticed that somehow the sound/visuals had been desynched in capturing. It would be very inconvenient for me to have to recapture at this time, so I found a work around by making a new sequence, putting in the desynched file, and trimming some of the video off to sync it up. However, now I can't make sub-clips, I can only use the blade tool on the large sequence. Can anybody think of a workaround?

    Okay thanks that might be helpful but I actually figured it out. I just exported the synched sequence to a Quicktime movie and then re-imported it. It's a little cumbersome and has to be rendered all the time, but it works.

  • Problem exporting from large sequences

    I'm reposting here becase it could be hardware related (the system is new), and because it wasn't answered on the CS5 forum and quickly got buried beneath 100 other threads.  There's usually more in-depth support on this forum.  Here goes:
    I'm running CS5 5.02 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with an X58A-UD3R mobo, i7 930, 12 GB RAM, and a GTX 470.  The footage is 4:3 NTSC DV, 29.97fps, 720x480. The sequence is DV NTSC Standard 48 kHz.  OS on C drive, media and project on E drive, exporting to F drive.
    I often put 100 clips or sometimes even 1000 clips on a sequence.
    When I go to File-->Export and start exporting video for a small work area (10 seconds or less), it brings up a dialogue box that says "Encoding Sequence 01" and doesn't make any progress for a painfully long time if there are many clips on the sequence.  The more clips in the sequence, the longer it waits before exporting.  If I isolate the same clip in another empty sequence and try to export the same small work area, it quickly exports the file.  As I add and delete clips from a sequence, the problem waxes and wanes.  When there's over 200-300 clips, I've never seen it export the video because it just sits there forever "encoding".
    I've tried this with several export formats: mpeg2, h264, quicktime, etc., with the same results.  Exporting a still JPEG will quickly work on the large sequence, but it is very slow to export video.
    It's as if Premiere is trying to encode the entire sequence first even though I've told it to only encode the small work area.  It still only exports the small work area I requested, not the entire sequence.
    Can someone please try to replicate this a few hundred clips and/or give me advice?

    Thanks for your replies, guys.
    I'm under deadline but will try running PPBM5 on Tuesday and post back here to see if you have ideas.
    There must be something wrong with my setup, because although the project runs smoothly, the exporting lags significantly even with 100 or 200 clips.  Surely CS5 should be able to export quickly from sequences as small as that.  I had no problem doing this with previous versions of Premiere Pro.
    Can anyone try throwing 100-200 clips onto a sequence to see if it causes any lag before exporting a small work area?

  • How do you make a clip slow down

    I'm new to final cut so I hope this question(s) isn't too naive. First of all I have imported a clip that has a world turning right before a transition into something else I don't want (ie I only want the world spinning). But whenever I select the range I want, and remove the rest, if drag the desired clip longer the old (unwanted material shows). So clearly I'm not cutting or deleting properly. Assuming I have the clip I want, the other problem is that I'm trying to match it to audio which is considerably longer (like 6 minutes versus 40 seconds). There is no obvious place to cut and make a copy (loop) without it being noticeable, so I thought it might be better to simply make the clip run in slow motion and match the duration to the audio clip. How do you do this?

    Simple. Select the clip (or portion of the clip) you want to slow down. Go to the "Modify" menu, then go to "speed." Type in a new percentage (50%, for instance, will make the clip run at half speed). I also suggest checking the "frame blending" box....it should make the slowed-down clip look smoother (you can try it both ways and see what looks best to you). Then render the clip (from the "Sequence" menu) and you're done.
