Making individual clips from the timeline.

So here's what I'm trying to do: put a mess of clips in a row on the timeline, use the blade tool to pick out the bits I want, then take those bits and get the individual clips to export through compressor, and to do this by making as few duplicates as possible (I would like to media manage the project or save space in any way possible). Again, I don't want the timeline as an edited sequence, I am trying to pull individual clips. Also, I need to be able to name them differently (which I can't seem to do by simply pulling the clips into a bin-I rename one and all the ones like it get renamed as well). What is the best way to do this?

1.) Then don't use sequences for this type of work.
2.) Then adjust your In & Out points to create handles.
From the Manual, what is a subclip:
A clip created to represent a limited portion of a media file. By artificially
limiting the duration of a media file, a subclip allows you to work with smaller
sections of a media file. These subclip limits can be removed at any time so you can
work with the whole clip. For example, if an original media file is 10 minutes long, the
Browser clip is also 10 minutes long. You can make a 1-minute subclip and work with
the subclip as if the media were only 1 minute long. For more information, see
Chapter 2, “Creating Subclips,” on page 35.

  • Is there a way to copy & paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?

    Hello Popular Premiere Pontificaters,
    I am using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 machine.
    Is there a way to copy and paste a clip from the timeline in one project in to another project?... I can copy my clip, but when I open the other project, it will not allow me to paste it in there... but I am able to copy and paste a clip within a single project.  I tried everything... pasting in to a new video track and pasting in to an existing video track in the second project, but the paste option simply isn't there when I open the second project.
    And if Premiere itself will not allow me to do this in any way, will a copy-paste clipboard type of accessory app allow me to do this?... if so, which is the best, trustworthy copy-paste app that is malware free?
    Thanks,
    digi

    Hi Bill Hunt,
    I just read the page that you provided about "Handles"... thanks allot for that ARTICLE.  In your article and the subsequent article HANDLES, "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" linked from your article, it indicates (in PrE and PrPro anyway - I'm in Premiere 6) that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks... the paragraph below is a quote from that "Transitions Overview: applying transitions" article...
    "Whatever is below the transition in a Timeline panel appears in the transparent portion of the transition (the portion of the effect that would display frames from the adjacent clip in a two-sided transition). If the clip is on Video 1 or has no clips beneath it, the transparent portions display black. If the clip is on a track above another clip, the lower clip is shown through the transition, making it look like a double-sided transition."
    So this indicates that transitions can be applied to non-Video 1 tracks since it is referring to content in tracks beneath a transparent fade that would show through... and only non-Video 1 tracks can be transparent and have other clips "beneath" them in the timeline, right?
    In the screenshot sample in your article at this LINK, I see the handles (referred to as B and E) and I can see in my monitor window how those handles would be represented by the two little bracket symbols {  }  ... you can see how they appear in my monitor window in Premiere 6 in this screenshot, and below, from a different thread that isn't related to this topic.
    But I'm still trying to figure out how the handles can be applied in the non-Video 1 tracks in the timeline to insert a transition (cross-dissolve) between two clips.
    Can you advise me on this?... I posted a separate thread HERE on this topic, but I haven't got any further with finding an answer.
    Thanks so much for your article,
    digi

  • How do I completely remove a clip from the timeline?

    I just bought a mac pro and final cut pro x to go with it (after a couple of years of being used to using adobe on a pc) so apologies if this sounds like a stupid question, but how do I completely delete/remove a clip from the timeline instead of merely 'disabling' it?

    If you have a keyboard without the numerical keypad, then FN delete will delete the clip and replace it with a gap if it's on the primary storyline. If it's a normal Mac keyboard, then the back delete will do the trick.
    You can also lift a clip from the primary storyline by right-clicking and choosing lift from primary storyline, then just delete.

  • Exporting clips from the timeline as separate files

    I captured an entire tape of video and edited out the takes, and now I would like to export individual clips that were already cut with the razor as separate Quicktime files so they can be brought into DVD Studio Pro.
    Is there a way to do this other than copying each segment to a separate project and saving that way?

    Create a new bin. Make the timeline active, hit command a (or select-all) drag to bin. This should create copies of all the clips in the timeline with the appropriate ins and outs. Do a batch export and make sure "export in to out" is selected.

  • How do I duplicate a clip from the timeline?

    In a sports video I want to duplicate a clip to the project files, then stretch the time of the clip to slow motion, add a title that says " Let's watch that in slow motion" and then insert the slow motion clip after the original clip to make sort-of an instant replay for my grandson. I don't know how to duplicate the clip and put it in "project files" and I'm not sure the best way to make the file a slow motion file. I've looked at the "Help" section but for some reason the blue links there don't function to lead me to the video clips of explanation.

    You may be over thinking this. There are easier ways. Jim's way is simple to use.
    Or, how about this instead?
    Put the clip on the timeline at full speed, then put it on the timeline again, and stretch the time to show it at 25% speed (for example). Put the title over the slower clip and that's it.
    This example video shows me putting the video on the timeline, then putting in a title I have already prepared over a copy of the clip held on the last frame, then the same video but set for slow motion using Time Remapping.
    If the clip had been longer, I would have eased into the slow motion gradually over the first three seconds or so, but this clip just wasn't long enough for that.

  • Creating merged clips from the timeline not working, any advice?

    I am syncing HDV video captured with guide audio, with four track audio recorded onto a Hard Disk Recorder. I need to sync in the timeline as there is not always a clap, but there is plenty of guide sound with the picture. I want to make a merged clip that I can then work with.
    I bring everything in - sync it - and highlight everything but find that the link command is dimmed, it is not available.
    The 4 track audio, and the video with guide sound both come in to the timeline already linked so I tried unlinking them when I first paste them into the timeline and making them independent clips, before I synced them together but that made no difference. The linking tool (Modify-Link) is dimmed and thus when I drag them into the browser they become many different files, instead of one merged clip. Can anyone suggest a reason why this is not working for me?
    I'm running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
    thanks very much..

    I think I can answer my own question. It seems that several separate files were made in the audio but only one take made in the video, and FCP will not allow the clips to be linked if I'm trying to link one take of video with three files of audio (pasted onto the timeline one after the other under the video). But If I cut the video and link the segments one at a time then I can merge the clips independently. It's not ideal but it makes sense.

  • How do I locate a clip in the timeline from the browser

    I am using FCE and I know that I can locate a clip from the timeline by using shift F.
    I want to check on a clip in the browser and find where it is in the timeline. How do I do that?

    Open the clip from the browser into the viewer. Press the F key. If the clip is used in the timeline, the playhead will move to the clip.

  • Audio won't play in the Viewer but will in the Canvas from the timeline.

    If I select a clip from the timeline to open in the viewer, I cannot hear the audio even though both video and audio are selected. This only happens in certain projects. Anyone know why?

    In the View menu, make sure the Audio Playback is set correctly.

  • I can't delete a clip from my timeline anymore, Why?

    Hi I am using FCP 6 and placing clips on the timeline all day long. I don't know what I did and now I can't clip and delete any clips from the timeline. When I try the linked button I have binks once. Do any of you FCP gurus know what I did and how do I fix it

    How are you trying to delete them?...are they all on one single track? What exactly are you referring to by your 'link button'? Do you mean the track selector just to the right of the 'lock' at left of timeline?
    Try this...set an In/Out, make sure the track selector is highlighted, then hit delete or command-c (apple-c) to 'cut' it out.
    If you want to delete more than one track at a time, you can option-click on the track selectors to select one or all.

  • Setting motion keyframes on head and end of a clip in the timeline

    I've been exeriencing a weird problem lately.
    If I throw a clip into the timeline, then double click it
    back into the viewer, then use CONTROL K to place keyframes
    across all motion perameters at the head of the clip, THEN hit the down arrow button to get to the end of the clip so I can make adjustments and have keyframes placed at the end of the clip, the process of hitting the down arrow to get to the end of the clip actually takes me to the head of the next clip in the timeline and up in the Viewer keyframe viewer.
    If I use the left arrow to move one frame backwards to try and get to last frame of the clip I actually want to place a keyframe on the end of, it doesn't get
    me back to the original clip...I've still got the second clip up in the Viewer motion keyframe area.
    It's been requiring me to reload the clip from the timeline again, drag the viewer playhead to the end of the clip being careful to not accidentally go past the end of the clip, or it again goes into the next clip and it's impossible to navigate back to the first clip without double clicking it back up into the window.
    So long question...after having placed keyframes at the very head of a clip double clicked back into the viewer from the timeline, how do I quickly get to the end of the clip to place my changed keyframe perameters, without overshooting the clip and running into the next?

    To get to the Out point of the current clip, instead of the next clip/edit, you need to press Shift-O.
    Also helpful: pressing Shift-I takes you to the In point.

  • Audio,  Premiere Elements 13 (Trial), Samsung Ultrabook NP730U3E with Windows 8.1 ! The problem: If I transfer a clip  from the monitor window to the timeline the audio disapears

    On the moment that I transfer a scene from the monitor window to the timeline, my audio disapears. In the monitor window the sound is playing well. How can I solve this problem ?

    gertdd
    Please explain.
    You cannot move a clip from the Edit area monitor to the Timeline. When you write "monitor window", are you referring to the Preview Window that opens when you double click a file's thumbnail in Project Assets?
    If that is the case, are you waiting for the audio imported to Project Assets to conform fully before you start to work with the import? See bottom right of Expert workspace and the appearance of a progress bar. See any conforming going on there?
    Do you get sound for your clip if you drag it from Project Assets to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1 rather than if you drag a trim from the Preview Window to the Timeline (as it appears you are doing).
    Please review and consider, and then let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your problem description.
    The answers will be in the details.
    We will be watching for those details to help us help you.
    Thank you.

  • I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place. Help

    I am really having a horrible time when trying to do our Church announcements in FCP X. When I try to take a clip from the event to the timeline my clips expanded and my timeline zoom level does not stay in the original place it moves to the right and is max out which makes every clip that I bring to the timeline expanded.

    What format etc. are the video clips and what were they shot on?

  • Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

    Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

  • I was almost done my project. I hadn't published it anywhere. Then, the next day, the clips from my timeline went all grey and there was an "out of date" icon. My project was lost. What happened? It's not the first time it's done that!

    You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
    (1) Page Info > Permissions tab
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Permissions
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Permissions
    (2) about:permissions
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' and press Enter. Allow a few moments for the list on the left to populate, as this information needs to be extracted from a database.
    Then type or paste ''rcn''' in the search box above the list to filter it to the most relevant domains. When you highlight a domain, you can adjust its permissions in the right pane.
    Any luck?

  • Fairly new to PP. When I drag a clip from the media browser only the video goes into the timeline. It doesn't allow the audio. What could I be doing wrong?
