Split clips in Premiere 7

When I used Prem. 3 I was able to split the clips when I downloaded off the camera so I had a sceneline of separate clips. This was so much easier to edit and work on. In my new Prem 7 I get one long clip of 10 minutes or so and I find it very difficult to "fine tune" the video i.e. cut out a cough or sneeze etc. I am downloading in standard from my HDV camera at the moment. Surely I can set the capture to split the clips as I did in Prem. 3. Am I missing something?

Ros,
In Premiere Element 7 there is the option to split the scenes. Press F5
Go an d check out the right side. There is the option of Split scene.However by default " By content" is selected. You can change the option to "Timecode" by clicking on it. Earlier Timecode was selected by default

HELP!!!! Problems with saving/exporting split clips in Premiere Elements 13

I have Premiere Elements 13. I have a 2 hr mp4 file I have set up into 8 split clips and want to save each split clip as it's own mp4 file so I can import it into Adobe Presenter as video for each particular slide. I need very specific steps as how to accurately select each split clip and save it or export it as it's own mp4 file. I was given instructions that instructed me to add these gray bars around the clip I wanted to save/export but I am unable to identify how to get those gray bars to activate around the clip. When I save/export it is saving the entire 2 hr mp4 vs the individual clip.

Please do not duplicate thread since it becomes confusing to the person asking the question as well as for those trying to respond.
I have already replied to your latest request for further details on setting the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar.
Please refer to your original thread and continue the discussion there.
Elements 13 - How do you save clips
Again, there are two requirements for selectively exporting a portion of the Timeline content
a. setting the gray tabs of the Work Area Bar
and
b. having a check mark next to the Share Work Area Bar Only option in the export area.
Details are in the original thread (with screenshot).

Using Split Clips in Premiere Elements 7.0

Is there any way, after having split a clip and renamed the portions, to place them in the Organizer or in the Editor Project List as separate "new" media items which I can copy, insert elsewhere in the Sceneline or even another movie altogether?
Many thanks.
Walter

Hi Paul....so I found out after posting that message. So, it seems to me
that there is no way using Premier Elements 7 of getting rid of my huge (1GB
+) -.VOB files files from which I want to only save only small--but precious
portions. I have these files because I converted from VHS to VCD and it was
not practical to watch every single scene. Am I correct in this? I just
presumed that this would be a common desire of many users and Adobe would
have provided for it in their highly acclaimed video editing software. Your
response was the closest I could locate.
I guess I'll go searching for some software to cut up these huge files? Any
suggestions.
Thank you so much for your personal response and the aid you give at the
Adobe site.
Regards,
Gene

Is there a way to split clips in the Event browser? (audio-synch related)

It seems there is no way to split an event-clip (a clip that appears in the Event browser). You can split Events--but only if they consist of more than one clip. And then you can only split them between two clips. People who have transferred analog video tapes (e.g., Video8) to their computers with the help of iMovie end up with Events that are the same length as their video tapes. So this usually means 2-hour events (consisting of one clip). But iMovie has a synchronization problem for such DV files. This problem would be mitigated by having shorter events. Hence the desire to split events. I thought a read somewhere a workaround for splitting event-clips, but if was a few months ago. I wouldn't think there is any reason we cannot split event clips, other than a preference for non-destructive editing. But a bit of destruction may be worthwhile if it improves synchronization. Does anyone know a way to split clips in the Event browser?

Split clip no longer working

Hello Apple Community,
I would really appreciate the help. I am half way through editing a wedding video and my split clip function just stopped working. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you for the help!

This is happening to me as well, Keith.
Airport Utility can not discover the Airport Express. I've reinstalled AU, as well as pulling the Airport Express from power and plugging it back in. I have not "reset" it yet, as I'm hoping there is a solution without having to lose all my Wifi settings.
Anyone got an answer?

Splitting clips problem. Corrupt project?

I have a 3 hour 15 minute project that I finished editing (down from 6+ hours of footage). Aside from iMovie starting to run quite slow by the time I was adding chapters and titles, everything went well. After 11 hours of exporting to Quicktime, I split the movie file in half and burned two DVDs. Everything looks good, except I noticed a section that I accidentally placed the sound off from the video. An easy fix for just that section, or so I thought.
Back in iMovie, I get the spinning color wheel everytime I move or click anywhere. But the real problem is that I no longer split clips ... at least not where I intend to. I stop the playhead where I want to split the clip, and instead of splitting it there, iMovie is splitting the clip anywhere from a half second to 3 seconds after the point I choose.
I'm guessing the project is corrupt since I can create a new project, drag in a clip and it splits just fine. And if I pull in clips from other events into the corrupt project, the splitting gets screwed up again.
I'm hoping there's a solution rather than having to create a new project. I used a lot of transitions, and I want to keep the timing exact so I can easily replace the affected portions of the movie file rather than waiting another 11 hours for everything to export.
And yes, I tried all the usual deleting of preferences, moving the project out of the movies folder, etc., etc. and it's still an issue.

Hi Flagmaker82,
If you are having difficulties splitting a clip as you describe, you may want to try placing the playhead where you want the split, control clicking the clip and select Split Clip from the shortcut menu. The process is similar to what is described for trimming a clip in this article -
iMovie (2013): Trim, split, and move clips

Splitting Clips within an Event

I have searched everywhere for how to do this but come up short. I have old camera clips in .avi format that I have imported. I want to split portions of a single clip into new and separate events but the split clip and split clip before commands are greyed out. Can I do this or do I really have to create a separate project for each clip segment in order to separate these video segments. Final Cut Express wont seem to import these .avi clips at all, so I can't try doing it there either.

If you highlight the clip and drag the sliders to the middle (or wherever) and 'remove selection', does that work?

Aspect Ratio issue when replacing a clip in Premiere CS6 with an After Effects CS6 Composition

Please assist! When I attempt to right click on a clip in my Premiere timeline and replace it with an After Effects composition, I can do so, but problems ensue.
After Effects will start up, but the composition will be in 4:3, even though the Premiere project and clip that I'm altering were both 16:9.
I was able to change the aspect ratio to 16:9 in After Effects and then edit what I wanted, but an hour later when I had finsihed, saved, and gone back to Premiere, it had smushed the replaced clip into 4:3 within Premiere.
So to reitterate:
When I replace a clip in Premiere with an AE comp, AE opens in 4:3.
I can change the AE comp to 16:9, but when I save and go back to Premiere, it has smushed the AE comp down to 4:3.
What can I do to stop this?

If you right click on the clip in the Project panel, then select Modify / Interpret Footage you will see a Pixel Aspect Ratio.
What does it say?
If it says 0.9091 then change it to 1.2121
If it says something else, come back and let me know. I will then have a different answer for you.
Also, what is the frame size of the video.

How do you split clips in the event viewer in iMovie '11?

I'm using iMovie '11 and have imported a very long movie (over an hour from VCR Tape) that I want to split into multiple events, however the "Split Clip" option is grayed out. How can I split a large event into smaller events?

I have discovered a round-about way to split large events from comments in this forum, so apologies, and or thanks to other posters.
You can split events by deleting (and discarding) a single frame at the point where you want to split the two clips. It's processor intensive (takes a while to do), but it works.
1.) In the Event Viewer, click to select where you want to split the event.
2.) Drag the yellow handles to make the selection as small as possible (1 frame?). If you drag the thumbnail display slider to the left to show only 1/2 second intervals, it helps when selecting a single frame.
3.) Right click and select "Reject Selection". The clip is now split.
4.) When you've completed all of your clip splitting, select "Show: Rejected Only" at the bottom of the Event Viewer to show all of the rejected frames.
5.) Click on "Move Rejected to Trash". This operation could take a while.
That should be it.
Hope this helps.

How can I raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12?

I want to raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12. Can anyone help?

jcomput
Always good to give the computer operating system involved in case any computer specific details needed to be included. But here is your
generalized yet specific answer for Premiere Elements 12 and increasing the volume of a video clip.
If you are in the Expert workspace...
a. click and drag upward the orange band that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip.
or
b. go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/ Volume Panel expanded on move the volume slide toward +6 dB.
0 db does not represent no sound. It represents the volume of the sound when it was recorded. 0 to +6 dB increases the sound above the recording level; 0 to infinity symbol decreases the sound below the recording level, finally to muted sound.
Please let us know if you are OK with the details above. My blog post on PE12: Audio Features may be useful to you.

Editing Multiple Audio Clips From Premiere in Audition

Hi there,
I am working with video/audio in Premiere that has frequent cuts (although the audio is derived from two files) and I need to edit all the audio files at once, rather than one by one, in Audition. I was hoping to this by nesting the audio in Premiere but I am not able to edit the nested file in Audition after this.
If anyone has any ideas of how to work with and apply the same properties to multiple audio clips from Premiere in Audition I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...

Hi everyone, I also have a trouble with cs6. I just record 3 tracks in the early today, then when I got home, I saved as sexs file ( wrong decision). After that, I went back and try to open the file, it can't file the recording tracks. The only one thing still exist is my beat, what should I do to recovered it? thanks for helping me out of this.

Splitting clips for copying

I'm trying to create a smaller project (about 3 minutes) from a larger clip (45 minutes). I use the "split clip at playhead" command at the beginning and end to trim a smaller clip, but find that "get info" for the new, supposedly smaller clip is still showing a size of 9 gigs (the full size of the original clip). When I try to copy and paste the "smaller" clip into the new project the program freezes, apparently because it's still registering the size of the longer clip, maybe not even recognizing the smaller clip. I've tried renaming the smaller clip, which hasn't worked. I may have to re-download from my camera only the footage that I want in the smaller project, but I'd like to avoid that.
Thanks!

You just have to live with that (or re-import). iMovie is a non-destructive editor, which means you should be able to go back to your full length clip at any time.

Splitting Clips

I just can't figure this out. I have a project that currently is made up of 6-8 clips. One clip is rather long, 10 minutes or so. I want to shorten this clip by taking out some dead space in a few sections. Just chopping seconds out of the clip. I can trim to my hearts desire and that's cool. But the Split Clip never becomes an option in my edit menu and I cannot find anything anywhere on how to do this.
Imagine a long clip and you don't want to trim in/out. You simply want to take a razor blade (ala FCP) and make a couple cuts, then delete the offending clip and throw in a transition. Should be easy enough but I'm pulling my hair out????

I have a similar situation. This is designed for new footage from digital sources that has a nice start/stop point to break up clips every time you start and stop the camera.
I am converting about 100 hours of 5-10 year old Hi 8mm analog footage that is in 1-2 hour chunks. The borrowed digital camcorder I am using as a bridge (my newer minDV camera does not have an analog input) breaks the footage into 30 minute clips.
On a newer camera, this footage would end up being 10-30 manageable clips. I can't figure out how to split the clips (actually events I guess) in the events library either. One of the 30 minute "clips" could cross 5 "events," so it would be very handy to have the events separated in my events library rather than only being able to do so in the project library.
Any Ideas?

Split Clip is not accurate.

I've been adding a Freeze Frame to sports video in order to highlight (via PhotoShop) a specific player. Sometimes, not always, the freeze frame is correct but the split created around the freeze frame is about a half second later. In other words the freeze does not match-up with the split. Other times this all works just fine. When it's wrong I try to just do a split clip to the correct time thinking that I can drag the modified freeze frame back to the split I just made, but iMove won't perform a split there at all. Any ideas?

This command is only available if your Event has more than one clip. It will split the Event between two clips.
If you are not sure how many clips are in your Event, move the Thumbnail slider to the right until you get a single thumbnail per clip.

Split clip of a picture in picture

Question,
When using picture and picture or a cutaway, I would like to split the top part into sections. Using the split clip command on it splits the lower main video, but not the one on top.
I am attempting to edit video from 2 cameras of the same event into one movie. I also would like to keep the sync intact through the entire thing and not have to resync each camera change by hand. I know Final Cut Express and pro can do this sort of thing, but everything costs money...
There is a neat trick with a cutaway or picture in picture- you can open the clip editor and adjust the opacity from 0% (invisible so you see what is underneath) to 100% (so you see only the top video). So the idea is to use the cutaway to paste the camera 2 ontop of camera 1, sync them once, then split the top video and delete sections or it (or reduce it opacity to 0%), thereby showing the video underneath...
any ideas?

Provide the full path to the picture file. Or if you're going to use a relative path, make sure it's relative to your current working directory.
I don't know what you mean by a "local" file or by "my workspace".
