PE 10 Archive not trimming clips

From the PE 10 Help manual
"Archive Project - Creates a folder containing a new project file, and a new clip for each clip used in the original Timeline or Sceneline at its edited length. The trimmed project includes up to 30 frames of extra footage, called handles, before the In point and after the Out point of each trimmed clip for minor adjustments you may want to make after archiving the project."
I am using Premiere Elements 10 on a Windows system (XP) and using "archive" (and the archive option within archive) it is not trimming clips at all, it simply copies the full clip to the archive folder. This is extremely wasteful of disc space and is not what is described in the above cut from the manual which is what one would expect an archive function to do (trim clips plus handles). Why not and is there any way around this.
Cheers
Andrew

Andrew,
This a bit of a guess, as I use Project Manager in PrPro, and it has some major differences.
I suspect that you have a large Clip, or Clips, and have used Instances of that/those on the Timeline. Is that the case?
If you had discrete, separate Clips, that had been Trimmed, in either the Source Monitor, or on the Timeline, then those would be Trimmed, with X Frames as Handles.
Discrete Clips are different than Instances of a larger "master Clip."
Maybe someone else will chime in, and either validate my thoughts, or tell us both, where I am going wrong.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • PP 2014 Project Manager not Trimming Clips

    Project Manager pretty straight forward however the ProRes clips are not being trimmed. I tried both 24 and 0 (yes radio buttons were selected) but when I reopened the project the clips were full clips.
    thoughts?

    I'm having the exact same issue now and it seems to be related to what types of format Premiere supports for trimming.
    My project consists of the following file formats:
    XAVC 100Mbit MXF
    XDCAM HD422 .mov
    ProRes 422 .mov
    If I remove XDCAM and XAVC from the project, Project Manager trims the clips, but if XAVC and XDCAM is in the project the files doesn't trim.
    Adobe Help-page mentions this: "Some formats, such as Long GOP based media files, cannot trim media, or add handles." But it doesn't state what these "some formats" are. XDCAM is Long GOP, but XAVC 100MBit is Intra and shouldn't be affected.

  • CS4 Project Manager not trimming clips.

    Will premiere pro cs4 project manager trim the source clip file size based on in and out points?
    I could swear I have done this before last year. When I do a project manager trim is creates a folder, changes the name of the file, but doesn't change the original size.
    I created a project and imported just one clip , trimmed in from 1min to 5 seconds and dropped in into a timeline. After the proj mgr export the file wasn't trimmed in the new folder at all. I tried adding handles.

    Thanks Jim. That little tid bit doesn't show up in the on-line help.

  • PE10  archiver doesn't trim clips as advertised in their manual

    can we sue adobe and get our money back for PE10 because archiver doesn't trim clips as advertised

    Sorry. We are just fellow video editors and can not provide legal advice. But I doubt you can prove a lot of pain and suffering over one feature.
    Where does it say the archiver will trim a clip -- and have you tried both archiver options?
    Version 10 is, by the way, a year and a half old. If you purchased it from Adobe, did it take you this long to discover it didn't perform as you expected? Purchases directly from Adobe can usually be refunded within 30 days.

  • I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (.m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing)

    I get the error message in QuickTime "operation stopped the operation is not supported for this media" most times when I try and export an .AVI file as something else (e.g. .m4v). I have not touched the file in any way (no trimming, clipping or other editing), all I want QuickTime to do is export the file in a compressed format. Bizzarely, if I shutdown and open QuickTime many times I can occasionally export a clip as another format (maybe one in 10 times). I have seen that other users have had a similar problem after clipping files in QuickTime but this seems to be a slightly different bug in that all I do is open the file and then try and export the file as is - either way, this is a very annoying bug

    @Z_B-B, thank you for taking the time to respond to my cry for help. However, the link you supplied does not address the problem: I am not trying to export from Final Cut Pro to QuickTime, I am trying to export from QuickTime to the rest of the world (like people's iPhones and Ipads) in .m4v format (so I am not emailing my freinds such huge files).
    If I were to spend hundreds of Dollars on a copy of Final Pro I could export directly from there and not have to bother with QuickTime, but I do not take enough video clips to justify the cost. I must say that I never had any of these problems before I decided to switch from Snow Leopard to Mountai Lion.

  • I have a clip with synchronized audio. When I trim a section of video it does not trim the audio. How do I trim both video and audio so that the clip remains in sync?

    Why is FCPX not allow me to cut both video and audio tracks at the same time?
    My separate synchronized audio does not trim when I trim the video. They are connected and synchronized.

    fulei wrote:
    The audio track does not edit along with the video. They go out of sync
    Sounds like a different problem than your trim problem in the first post. If your problem is they drift out of sync, we'd need to knoow more about the project and clip properties – including how the audio file you're syncing to was created.

  • Project manager not trimming .mts files

    Relatively new to Premiere and struggle to media manage since my switch from FCP7.
    I keep finding that Project manager is not trimming the.mts files, so still stuck with the entire clips.
    Anyone know of any work arounds?
    Premiere Pro CC on a MacPro
    Cheers

    Premiere CC's Create New Trimmed Project does not support trimming of any MPEG material. If you update to CC 2014 8.1 or 8.2, there is a new option of Consolidate and Transcode that will allow you to transcode to formats that Premiere can export (e.g.: H.264, MXF OP1a, etc.). It still won't trim to .mts, but it might get you closer to your goals.

  • How to completely remove the excess footage from a trimmed clip?

    I'm sure there is a very basic answer for this, and I'm simply inexperienced.
    I just can't seem to find this exact problem stated anywhere.
    My issue involves time remapping.
    I'm working on a MacBook Pro, using dynamic link between Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC. When I select a single "slice" of a clip I have trimmed down with the razor and open it in AE via direct link, it works well, and I proceed to enable time remapping. All goes as I want it to.
    The issue arises when, immediately, I notice that the start and end key frames are not visible because they are actually placed at both ends of the full clip, NOT my trimmed down version. When I place key frames at the ends of the smaller area I want to work with, I notice that if I want to move those end frames inward, it actually pulls the excess footage from the sides into the work area, which I would expect if I didn't have the comp trimmed to the work area.
    I'm sure this is just ignorance, but I want to be able to work ONLY with the trim I made, and if I want to pull my end keyframes around, I need them to leave blank black space, NOT the rest of the footage. How do I actually chop out the trim so this works the way I want it to?
    Thanks so much in advance. I'm not well versed in the terminology for this program yet and I hope I was able to explain the issue at least halfway clearly.

    When you enable time remapping, AE automatically creates keyframes at the start and end of the entire clip, regardless of how it's been trimmed (as you already know).
    While there's no way to automatically do what you want, it's an easy manual process.
    Enable Time Remapping.
    Go to the in point of the trimmed clip (press i) and add a keyframe.
    Go to the out point of the trimmed clip (press o) and add a keyframe.
    Use the keyframe arrow buttons in the timeline to step forward to the end-of-layer keyframe.  Even if it's outside the composition time so you can't see it, it can still be (invisibly) navigated to.  Then remove the keyframe by clicking on the remove/add keyframe button between the two arrows.
    Navigate to the start-of-layer keyframe and do the same.
    Now you should have just two keyframes, at the start and end of the trimmed layer.

  • Saving a trimmed clip as new file?

    hi
    i'm tring to resize clips down to just the parts i want, i'm not wanting to make a dvd or anything at this point.
    in ulead i often used a feature let me save a clip that i trimmed down off as a new file. i did this to save on disc space and get rid the junk frames.  in elements i can see how to trim from the left and from the right, and to split a clip, but i can not figure out how to save off that trimmed video to a new file.  or even change the length of the original.
    thanks

    Once you have your trimmed clip on your timeline, just go to Share/Personal Computer/DV-AVI to output it.

  • Having trouble getting premiere pro trimmed clips into compositions

    I'm working on a TV intro mashup in the style of the tv show happy days with another editor.  I'm a complete noob with after effects.  I've never used it before for anything.  The other editor has created template in after effects of the record player with compositions of the actor intros in the center of the record and sent me the project.  He's created a composition for each character intro and I'm trying to go in and replace the clips he used as place holders with clips i've trimmed in premiere pro.
    At first I was successful by dragging and dropping the premiere pro sequence into the after effects project.  Then when I looked at the sequence composition I could see the trimmed clips and could copy paste the clips I wanted into their respective intro compositions.  I noticed the first time I imported the sequence into after effects and made changes to it in premiere pro it updated in real time.  Now all of a sudden any changes I make to the premiere pro sequence no longer update in after effects.  What's weird is they do update to the extend if I watch the sequence play in the after effects viewer I can see the changes but on the timeline where the clips are laid out the changes aren't reflected and it's showing me an earlier version of the sequence.
    So my two main questions are
    1) how come the time line in after effects is no longer updating the changes I make to the sequence in premiere pro?
    2) what is the easiest way to get trimmed premiere pro clips into after effects compositions?

    Question 1:
    Since you're so new to AE, it's quite possible that any of a number of things happened without you being aware of it. That and you haven't given much information for troubleshooting. I mean, we don't even know the rough versions you're using, much less minor version numbers. (For example, we don't know if you're using CC 2014, much less if you're running the 13.2 update for AE or not.) Here's some info we would need to help: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/961743
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/961743
    Question 2:
    You can choose File>Import Premiere Pro Project and it'll bring the clips in. It won't update at all, but it will give you the clips you need in a way that's easier to deal with in AE.
    Alternatively, you can choose to dynamically link a Premiere Project (which sounds like what you initially did). In most cases, I prefer the first way.
    Since you've never used AE before, there are going to be a lot of things that frustrate you if you try to plow ahead without a knowledge of the basics. I strongly recommend going through the resources linked here: Getting started with After Effects Granted, there is an extensive set of resources there, but that's because AE is such a deep and complex program. Without a foundation in the basics, you are going to just keep on being frustrated.

  • Export trimmed clip without encoding?

    I would like to trim an H.264 Mp4 (10.04Mbps) 18min clip to 5 mins. No "editting" just trim the clip and export it fast.
    But even if I match the setting in Compressor, it wants to take 10-20 minutes to export the 5 minute clip.
    What am i doing wrong? Can Compressor do this?

    Funny you should meantion that. Before I left work today, i checked if i could trim without encoding on all the mac's ... it turns out I could not trim the clip without re-encoding on QT X (10.1) OS Lion 10.7. Mind you the encoding time for the 5 minute was quicker then it took orginally with Compressor... all the other machines have OS10.6, i was able to trim without encoding, just save as and poof, file made.

  • Project Manager not Trimming ProRes Files

    I was hoping that 8.2 would solve this issue, but it hasn't.  When I choose 'Consolidate and Transcode' in Project Manager, it is not trimming my HD 1920x1080 ProRes files.  And in fact, it hardly trims anything. (It does trim a few Avid 1:1 SD files) I've tried virtually every possible combination of settings to get this to work the way the old 'Create Trimmed Project' did, to no avail.  Please help - thanks!

  • Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

    Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

    I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
    Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
    If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

  • IMovie Won't Let Me Trim Clip Length To Less Than 1.0 Seconds

    Anyone have any luck trimming clips down to less than 1.0 seconds?
    I'm doing some video editing on iMovie for which I want to trim clips down to about 0.4 to 0.6 seconds depending on the audio track I'm trying to match. I can't seem to get iMovie to let me trim a track down past 1.0 seconds. When I try to trim it, the length just stays at 1.0 seconds. I HAVE been able to take a clip that's 1.0 seconds, split it, and then end up with two clips of 0.5 seconds each. However, when I try to make any length adjustment on these shorter clips they automatically jump back out to 1.0 second lengths and I'm back to square one.
    Thanks in advance and happy iMovie-ing!

    I find that splitting a clip is much easier then trimming.
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/iphone/1.2/index.html#kna257fc915
    So I tend to scroll through to where I want to make and edit, and then split the clip, and delete the bit to cut out.
    And then you can go as close as about .4 seconds.
    Sadly iMovie iOS isn't really made for fast cuts.
    So the only advise I can give is to split clips to get them shorter.
