Multiple Clips from importing

Hi, I have Final Cut Express 3.5. When I capture video from my Canon ZR500 all of the video is imported as one clip. In iMovie the video would be cut into seperate clips everytime I paused the camera. Having seperate clips made it very easy to find the good takes. Im wondering if I can setup Final Cut to capture video in the same was as iMovie.
Thanks

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.

Multiple clips from 1 original file..& Embedding pictures

Hi! Is there any way to place multiple In/Outs in one source file. (i.e) Edit a file into several smaller files at the same time? Right now I import a new source file, create a subclip,rename it, then reimport it to create a different subclip...
Also when I insert a picture in between movie clips in the timeline, the picture appears uncentered in the program window. It looks fine in the source window. Should I resize the picture to a certain size?
Thanks,
S

Drag your source clip from the Project Panel into the
Source Monitor. Set the desired in and out points, then drag from the Source Monitor to the timeline.
Now return to the source monitor and
change the in and out points as desired and drag to a new place on the timeline.
Repeat and rinse. :P
Cheers

Using multiple clips / error importing

I have transferred my footage from tape to imovie. I created a new project for each tape (I have about 20 tapes stored up, that I can't import from my old PC platform, so re-importing).
Now I want to create a movie, using clips from multiple projects. When I try to import from one of the other projects, I get a message that iMovie couldn't parse it, error -43.
Surely if I recorded it from iMovie in the first place, and can play the clips fine from each of the individual projects, I should be able to import it?
In essence - How can I use clips from different projects in one new projects?
Appreciate any help please. I did previously purchase the mpeg2 converter.

Sorry to see the bush fire reports - sure is affecting our sunsets! And one volunteer Kiwi fighter killed yesterday.
One point to keep in mind when transferring clips - try to transfer all the clips based on a particular source clip all at one go. Otherwise (due to the non-destructive editing used by iMovie), you will duplicate the source clips , thus greatly adding to the size of the project in GB.
Cheers

Extracting multiple clips from large .mov file

Hi
For some reason this summer our camcorder has amalgamated all our clips in to one large 6Gb .mov file called "Private.mov". I can't import the separate clips into iMovie straight from the SD card as previously.
I can open the file in Quicktime and open each clip separately and then export it to a separate file and then import into iMovie. This works but as there are over 300 clips will take for ever. I can open multiple clips but can't do more than 10 at a time or it gets confusing on the screen as to what has been saved etc
Is there anyway of automating this and doing this in one batch or
What has gone wrong with the camera/the file this time?
Thanks for your help
Sarah

why dont you import the file direct into iMove which will create individual clips from the original file

How do you select/move multiple clips from one timeline to another?

Has to do with combining multiple edls from Avid - required due to an issue with duplicate reel names in the original Arri footage. I can move them one at a time, but it is very tedious. Is there a way to select multiple clips and move them together?

Actually discovered the magic of the shift key.
IRCP Beauty doesn't recognize multiple timelines in a session, so first you have to at least get the footage on multiple tracks in the same timeline. Shift + drag on the track will allow you to move it to another timeline. Also Shift + drag on the center of the first clip in a sequence will slide the entire sequence down - which is how timelines end up getthing offset all the time. Also, if there are multiple tracks in a timeline and some are locked and some aren't, Shift + drag on a clip will slide ALL UNLOCKED tracks in the timeline.
Finally, Shift + click on either in or out marker moves both points up or down the timeline.

Is it possible to output multiple clips from a multitrack session, at the same time?

I'm using Audition CC 2014.2
on Windows 7 Pro x64
I am trying to figure out how to output several clips from a multitrack session, at the same time.
A session like this:
Is it possible to output 5 files right now?
I can select each one (or even multiple) and use File > Export > Multitrack Mixdown > Selected Clips to do one at a time only.
I'm hoping for a way to give each clip (or group of clips) a predefined filename, by perhaps using markers or something like that, which would then allow me to faster "automate" the exporting of each section into a different sound file.
This ability would be really helpful when using a single multitrack session to generate multiple sounds and a change to globally applied effects is made and all sounds now need to be updated.
Any ideas?

They are, yes, but I'm also working with multitrack sessions using clips made from various different sound files.
Ahh ok, use markers?
So, this sort of thing isn't possible in multitrack mode then?
If not, it sounds I'll have to "mix down" my multitrack session into a single file and set up the markers in Waveform Edit view.
That's an extra step I'd have to do, and after editing the multitrack session, surely some markers . . . oh wait, no . . . every time I output the new mix down file from the multitrack I'd need to redo all the markers. Drat . . .
Honestly, I am very new to Audition, but I'm about to plow into it, big-time, and I'm hoping for a nice non-destructive and fast workflow that'll enable me to output sets of sounds from the same multitrack session.
But, it seems like this functionality is currently missing.

Export multiple clips from one timeline

Hi,
Is there a way to export multiple clips into separate files from the timeline. So, basically i have a time line with many clips which i need to export to individual files, not one long video. In FCP 7 I would drag all these clips into a new folder and then batch export. But in FCPX?
Thanks!

Of course i's not "half baked". Just because it lacks a feature that you want doesn't make it so.
There isn't as NLE out there that doesn't attract complaints from some users about its functionality in some area or other.
Fortunately, the fully functional trial version gives us a good chance to find out first-hand whether the design meets our requirements.

Batch export of multiple clips from one video in Premiere CS4

Hello,
I'm really in a bind and hope you guys can help me out. I have about 30 hours of video in about 30 mpg files..1 hour in each video. I need to splice out small clips from each video..anywhere from 10 to 20 clips in each and send them to Media Encoder to store as video files I can then re-use. In CS3 I can do this manually one clip at a time ..set In point, Out point and then export. This however takes a very very long time....set the ins/outs, then export, then wait, then repeat..very tedious
In CS4 can i set multiple ins/outs for the entire video and then have premiere go to work and do a batch export? Or is there another way of doing this? I have about a week left to get this done and at a total of about 450 clips to export each 2-5 mins for encoding this will take forever...plase help!
Stan

It wont do exazctly what you want but.... But the batch encoding should save you some time since you can continue to work while it encodes/exports.
Do you need to make more than one output type? Like DV, WMV, FLV... for each one? If so, I suggest this workflow:
1. Open source file 1 in Source monitor set in and out, ctrl drag subclip to a folder in the project panel.
2. Repeat step 1 for any other subclips needed from source clip 1
3. When done with first source clip go into bin where you put your subclips click on them one at a time and do export/media to your lowest compressed need (like DV AVI for example); it will be added to AME queue
4. Repeat step 3 for all subclips, then click start queue.
5. While AME is exporting all the subclips for your first source clip, repeat steps 1-3 on source clip 2...
When you are all done; if you need to make multiple output types for each file; Do (IN AME) File>New>Watch Folder
Create a Watch folder for each output type you want. Then simply copy all the exported clips you want inot each of these folders and AME will process them all for you in batch.
It doesnt do exactly what you wished for; but should save you a few buckets of time.

Getting Multiple clips when importing DV file into iMovie 7

In previous versions of iMovie you could set a preference for importing movie files that either brought it in as one big clip or multiple clips. I don't see this in the new version. When I import a DV file it breaks it into about 30 clips. How can I bring in my file as one big clip?
I would appreciate fast response as I am on a deadline for this project. Thanks!!

There is no answer to this question. Its just the way it is and it stinks. I will continue to use iMovie 6

Synchronization of multiple clips from two cameras using TIMECODE

Hi there and greetings everyone,
I'm new to the adobe forum, but I'm quite familiar with premiere pro and generally with filming and editing.
My question is simple, yet complicated:
I have 2x 5D mark III synched via timecode to the second and I have an event of about 30 minutes, where each camera recorded individual clips in an alternating way (so there are gaps between clips from the same camera, but almost 100% coverage with the 2 cameras together - we used this method for a more creative / interesting end result)
HOW DO I import the clips from the 2 cameras in such a way that there will be two different video tracks (so for exemple track 1 for cam 1 and track 2 for cam 2) yet I will be able to sync them via timecode in my timeline ?
Aditional info:
- the only thing I managed was to select all the clips, create a multi-camera sequence and open that in a timeline format (everything is synced up, but each individual clip is on a different track, so I have 61 video layers basically instead of 2)
I've asked lots of people, red tens of topics, watched lots of tutorial videos, none seemed to answare my question
- I know there is the Multi Camera Monitor, but that option is designe for editing and synching clips when there is 1 long clip / camera, and where you actually watch the entire recording and do the editing real time, which is not my case.
- Some sugested me to use plural eyes, but I don't see any point in using andio based synchronization if I have excelent timecode.
- I also need it done the way I described because for me it;s more manageble that way, I can edit it faster, and I already know what to look for, so it;s again nonesence to use the multicam feature.
The bottom line is that I am looking for something similar to pluraleyes (when you import everything in one timeline) and use the audio info to sync it, but in this case I would use the embeded timecode.
I've red a post where someone mentioned that in other editors its just select all / sync / done, so I can't believe it;s that complicated in Premiere.

There are currently better sync features in the works!
I know your frustration. For a similar and more in-depth discussion, see another thread I posted in here: Batch syncing audio and video using timecode
Unfortunately in CS6 (what I currently use) it creates a separate track for each clip, which can be a mess if you have hundreds of clips. The best way I have found to make things easier is to create a separate TC synced multi-cam sequence for each individual cameras footage. For example, I follow the same steps you did for each of my cameras footage independently so that I have a TC synced sequence for camera A, a TC sequence for camera B, etc. Then you can select all the footage of each sequence, nest it, and copy each nest into a master sequence to work with. What you end up with is a single clip for each camera. MUCH easier to work with! To keep track of where clips start and/or end in the nested sequences you can go into your original sequence and place a marker (shortcut "M") at each clip. These markers then show up in your Mastertimeline clips for reference.
I know things could be easier, but this is currently the best option I know of. I already put in a feature request and was told by the Engineering Manager of Premiere Pro that new sync features were in the works. (see thread link above)
Hope that helps!
...and for the record, here is my TC sync process:
SELECT ALL clips you wish to sync from your Project Tab/Window.
RIGHT-CLICK and SELECT "Create Multi-camera Source Sequence..." In CS6 it is the next-to-last option in your popup window.
A dialogue box will appear. For the Synchronize Point, SELECT the box that says "Timecode" and UN-CHECK "Ignore Hours"
You will now see a new multi-cam sequence in your Project Tab/Window.
RIGHT-CLICKyour new multi-cam sequence and SELECT "Open in Timeline"

Selecting Multiple Clips from Same Angle in Multicam Project

I edit motor sport events using up to 8 camera angles. Once I have edited the multicam I will generally reduce the overall audio level of the entire multicam edit. Invariably certain camera positions will have a higher audio level than others. In FCP 7 I would adjust the audio of one such clip angle, copy the clip, then simply cmd+f and input the name of the angle clips I want to adjust, then paste attributes and select audio as the attribute I want to adjust.
In FCP X I cannot find a way of doing this..... It appears I have to scroll along the timeline and cmd select each clip.... which is a nonsense. I should be able to select every clip of one particular angle. Am I missing something? This should be really easy to select every clip from one particular angle, but I have yet to find a way to do it and it is vital I can do this to save time. Nothing in the help files.

You can't select all the individual clips in the multicam edit.... All of the clips in the multicam are titled the same way...." Multicam xxxxxx". If they appeared as Angle 1, Angle 2, Angle 3 etc. You could select the individual angles as I need to do, but they are not listed that way.
To adjust the audio in the angle editor so that the audio from each camera was the same maximum db level, I would need to be able to "normalise" the audio from each angle to, for example -18db. In FCP X they have removed the normalise audio feature, which is such a nuisance As I used that a lot in FCP 7 to get audio to max at the required level. I can't adjust the audio in one angle until I have them edited side by side and can see the difference in db between them.
Any other ideas?

Audio distortion and clipping from imported AVCHD

I just built a new computer that works great for video and is now playing back AVCHD no problem.
The sound however, is the same as before. It sounds like really really bad over clipping, straight from the RAW imported video... Sounds fine on the camera and it sounds fine in my Sony Content Management Utility... But in premiere and sound booth... it's not working.
It was also the same problem on my other computer even though I had a $4000 AD/DA converter that can go up to 24bit 192khz and I'd used programs such as Nuendo and Cubase with no problem, even at 32-bit float... (Audio and Music is my primary)
Interesting thing is, this is also happening in Soundbooth
Ideas?
Problem existed on both:
Windows 7 and Windows XP Pro SP3

Got it! How did I not see think of this before!
Tried a different format on the Sony HXR-NX5U, Dolby Stereo. And it works.
What I was using before as a LPCM (L for Linear, it's a lossless codec) Codec format which I gues premiere does not like.
Adobe Premiere would probable recognize PCM because it is Non Linear Quantized and older format and it explains why LPCM was distorting - becuase it's on a wider linear scale that exceeds what Premiere supports - it was still seing the PCM part of the code but not that it was Linear.
The audio nerd prevails.
*edit*
Huh, well I don't see PCM nor LPCM in supported audio formats.

Capturing multiple clips from one mini dv tape

i have been having trouble using the 'capture project' option. i can capture individual clips, but would like to set them all before hand and have the computer go through and capture them all at once. this seems to be possible, but when i click 'capture project' it either only captures the first clip or reads 'error'. any suggestions?

Hi(Bonjour)!
You cannot capture project with this method in FCE, it's not suported.
See page 179 and 181 of user's manual.
You can capture now all your tape (or portion with the esc key), and recapture a project (from a previously captured but now erased media). See page 189.
Each clip that is logged in capture window is captured right after you set the in and out points. One clip at a time.
Final Cut Pro can meets your needs.
If your problem is to recapture a project, it seems that there is a time code break on your DV tape, thus the error.
Note that HDV cannot be recaptured.

Why is there no Batch Export of multiple clips from Premiere CS6?

This is a no brainer. Every other NLE has had this for at least a decade, yet PP CS6 makes you INDIVIDUALY export clips rather than sending them as one batch. What a time waste for someone looking to move to CS6 from FCP and finding it's slower.

Not quite enough info here...
Great with the specs on the system, but I need ram and HDD info, along with a few details about your workflow.
First, what are you ingesting? I need the physical media and file type it starts with.
Second, are you transcoding? I need to know what you transcode to (file type and the specs for frames etc).
Third, where are you sending them? I need to know what Disk, and any other info on where the files are going.
Fourth, how long are the clips? The longer they are, the longer it takes to ingest, and the more active the scene the longer it will take to scrub through. Some systems have a file-size issue with the volume you output to. I suggest using an external disk formatted as EXT4 (exfat 4), it has a 16terabyte file-size limit. Other file systems will split the files in an odd fashion, and often do so destructively with larger files. Less than 6gb isn't a problem, but more... ...the system may flag it.
Finally, what are you using to ingest the files? USB, thunderbolt, firewire... ...They all have their good and bad. USB has version 1 2 and 3. Firewire has 400 and 800. Thunderbolt has only 1 speed ("wtf was that?"). Usb can have stability problems and disconnects, and usb3 isn't exactly perfectly compatible with mac. If you can, get a thunderbolt usb3 hub, they limit the speed in, but maintain the stability. You'll get 1-2\3 usb3 speeds with stability of thunderbolt at the computer end.
One last note, make sure your permissions are set and the application support folders are okay... ...I've had apps crash when they tried to access this in the /user/library folder, mainly do to a mavericks update that was supposed to lock down security. Make sure these folders allow the app to access them. You may need to find some tools to "Watch" the app, or find a crash log after and read where it failed.
To really get into things, I need all this.
You might try to do a permissions repair. Some updates don't reset them properly or the magnetics on a drive go a little haywire when reading the permissions. You need to ensure your system is clean. Do a drive repair just in case.
